Notes

  1. 1.

    Many Anglo-Saxon researchers dealing with plant physiology actually use the term hypodermal cells (layer) when referring to exodermis. The term hypodermis is rather confusing: it suggests only a topographic disposition of a plant tissue. In fact, anatomically speaking, the layer of cells with suberized cells beneath the epidermis represents the exodermis.

  2. 2.

    Root aerenchyma is quantified as gas volume per unit root volume, i.e., porosity (Colmer and Flowers 2008).
