Plant Physiology Webinar: Hypoxia in Plants

The January 2025 Focus Issue of Plant Physiology, edited by Rashmi Sasidharan, Markus Schwarzländer, Pierdomenico Perata, Peter Geigenberger and Julia Bailey-Serres, spotlights research on hypoxia in plants. Oxygen is essential for efficient aerobic energy generation in plant cells. However, plant cells and tissues are often subject to fluctuations in oxygen levels. An imbalance between demand and availability can lead to cellular hypoxia. Hypoxia has been associated with environmental conditions like flooding, but also ice encasement, microgravity, high elevations, and microbial interactions.
This webinar features speakers Bart Nicolaï, Amanda Cardoso, Motoyuki Ashikari, and Beatrice Giuntoli, who share findings from their work appearing in this Focus Issue. The webinar is hosted by Plant Physiology editor Rashmi Sasidharan and is moderated by Plant Physiology Assistant Features Editor Alicja Kunkowska.
