摘要
Enhanced development of gas-spaces beyond that due to the partial cell separation normally found in ground parenchymas and their derivatives creates tissue commonly termed "aerenchyma". Aerenchyma can substantially reduce internal impedance to transport of oxygen, nitrogen and various metabolically generated gases such as carbon dioxide and ethylene, especially between roots and shoots. Such transport lessens the risk of asphyxiation under soil flooding or more complete plant submergence, and promotes radial oxygen loss from roots leading to oxidative detoxification of the rhizosphere. Aerenchyma can also increase methane loss from waterlogged sediments via plants to the atmosphere. This review of the formation and functioning of aerenchyma particularly emphasises research findings since 1992 and highlights prospects for the future. Regarding formation, attention is drawn to how little is known of the regulation and processes that create schizogenous aerenchyma with its complex cell arrangements and differential cell to cell adhesion. More progress has been made in understanding lysigenous aerenchyma development. The review highlights recent work on the processes that sense oxygen deficiency and ethylene signals, subsequent transduction processes which initiate cell death, and steps in protoplast and wall degeneration that create the intercellular voids. Similarities between the programmed cell death and its causes in animals and the predictable patterns of cell death that create lysigenous aerenchyma are explored. Recent findings concerning function are addressed in terms of the diffusion aeration of roots, rhizosphere oxygenation and sediment biogeochemistry, photosynthesis and ventilation, pressurised gas-flows and greenhouse gas emissions and aspects of ventilation related to secondary thickening.
