Lowland rice (Oryza sativa L.) encounters flooded soils that are anaerobic and chemically reduced. Exposure of the roots to high soil Fe2+ concentrations can result in toxicity. Internal aeration delivering O 2 to submerged roots via the aerenchyma is well understood, but the effect of Fe2+ on O2 tr...
