low oxygen stress in plants

Caption

Plants that experience flooding and thereby low-oxygen stress, display a severe growth defect as compared to non-stressed plants. During low-oxygen stress, the mitochondrion sends out stress signals that trigger stress adaptation. One of these signals results in the cleavage and release of the transcription factors ANAC013 by a rhomboid protease (RBL2).
