Plants often have to produce aerenchyma, while the shape and size of leaves may also be altered.

Many have aerenchyma to transmit oxygen from the atmosphere to their roots.

The roots also contain wide aerenchyma to facilitate transport within the plant.

For example, many wetland plants must produce aerenchyma to carry oxygen to roots.

Owing to the well-developed aerenchyma, it is quite resistant to flooding.

It lacks aerenchyma, a trait which makes it different from many of its relatives.

Many of these plants therefore have aerenchyma, channels within the stem that allow air to move from the leaves into the rooting zone.

Like many other marsh plants, they depend upon aerenchyma to transport oxygen to the rooting zone.

Such a parenchyma type is called aerenchyma.

If the water level is high, larvae sometimes pupate in the hollow aerenchyma tissue in the plant stems.

Plant aerenchyma refers to the vessel-like transport tubes within the tissues of certain kinds of plants.

Some of the oxygen transported through the aerenchyma leaks through root pores into the surrounding soil.

Hence, many wetlands are dominated by plants with aerenchyma; common examples include cattails, sedges and water-lillies.

Instead, for their gaseous exchanges they use a homogeneous aerenchyma (thin-walled cells separated by large gas-filled spaces).

Many wetland plants possess aerenchyma, and in some, such as water-lillies, there is mass flow of atmospheric air through leaves and rhizomes.

The direct "shunt" created by the aerenchyma allows for methane to bypass oxidation by oxygen that is also transported by the plants to their roots.

Since the flooded soils are deficient in oxygen, aerenchyma in the leaves and rhizome transport oxygen to the rhizome.

Species that are tolerant of waterlogging develop specialised roots near the soil surface and aerenchyma to allow the diffusion of oxygen from the shoot to the root.

The plants found in hydric soils often have aerenchyma, internal spaces in stems and rhizomes, that allow atmospheric oxygen to be transported to the rooting zone.

The species grows as an emergent plant, that is, in flooded conditions, so the plant is generally dependent upon aerenchyma in the stem to carry oxygen into the roots.

The stem, which may be floating or emergent, emerges from a buried rhizome, which like many wetland plants, is dependent upon aerenchyma to transport oxygen to the rooting zone.

These plants require special adaptations for living submerged in water, or at the water's surface - the most common adaptation is aerenchyma, but floating leaves and finely dissected leaves are also common.

For example, their roots and stems contain large air spaces (aerenchyma) that regulate the efficient transportation of gases (for example, CO and O) used in respiration and photosynthesis.

It grows from a dense rhizome network which produces a mat of fine roots thick enough to form sod, and includes aerenchyma to allow the plant to survive in low-oxygen substrates like heavy mud.

Plants not only provide much of the carbon needed for methane producing processes in wetlands, but in addition, methane can utilize three different pathways provided by primary productivity to reach the atmosphere: diffusion through the profile, plant aerenchyma, and ebullition.
