Abstract
Accumulation of the gaseous plant hormone ethylene is very important for the induction of several responses of plants to flooding. However, little is known about the role of this gas in the formation of flooding-induced adventitious roots. Formation of adventitious roots in Rumex species is an adaptation of these plants to flooded soil conditions. The large air-spaces in these roots enables diffusion of gases between shoot and roots.
