Which risk increases when plant roots face hypoxic soil conditions?

💡 Explanation

Hypoxic soil limits cellular respiration, therefore leading to reduced energy for root defense because less ATP is produced to activate defense responses, including pathogenic fungi resistance and the inhibition can increase susceptibility, rather than the enhanced uptake expected under normal conditions.
