“…These include glycolytic and fermentation enzymes and other metabolic proteins as well as various signal transduction proteins, transcription factors, and other genes involved in the adaptation response to anaerobiosis (Klok et al, 2002;Branco-Price et al, 2008;Mustroph et al, 2009Mustroph et al, , 2010. These regulatory controls rely on cis-acting hypoxia regulatory elements in the promoters of hypoxia-responsive genes (Dolferus et al, 2001;Mohanty et al, 2005), posttranscriptional control by silencing RNAs (Moldovan et al, 2010;Licausi et al, 2011), mRNA sequestration in ribonucleoprotein complexes (Weber et al, 2008;Sorenson and Bailey-Serres, 2014), and the selective targeting of core hypoxia-response transcripts to polysomes (Branco-Price et al, 2008;Mustroph et al, 2009). Overall, these developmental programs prepare the plant at various fronts for a coordinated survival response to low oxygen stress.…”
