A stress recovery signaling network for enhanced flooding tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana

Flooding is a sequential stress where tolerance is strongly dependent on viability underwater and during the post-flooding period. In the Arabidopsis thaliana accessions Bay-0 and Lp2-6, different rates of submergence recovery correlate with submergence tolerance and fecundity. A genome-wide assessment of ribosome-associated transcripts in Bay-0 and Lp2-6 revealed a signaling network regulating recovery processes following flooding to hasten the return to pre-stress homeostasis.
