← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome results when a terrestrial plant experiences excessive root submersion?
A)Reduction in stomatal conductance occurs✓
B)Elevated synthesis of protective cutin
C)Increased photosynthetic pigment production
D)Enhanced root gravitropism observed
💡 Explanation
Limited oxygen from submersion induces the formation of an abscisic acid that reduces the stomatal conductance of the plant. This is due to the process of anoxic signaling, therefore decreased transpiration and CO2 uptake occurs, rather than increased photosynthesis or cutin production.
