Each plant has multiple “stilt roots” that descend from upper branches and end in roots buried the mud. In cross section each stilt root consists of a core of porous aerenchyma surrounded by an impermeable layer of xylem, and outside the xylem there is a second layer aerenchyma. Oxygen must be provided to the mud roots through the aerenchyma either by diffusion or by gas flow, where the separate layers could provide up- and down-flow pathways. To test whether the stilt root’s properties were consistent with gas flow, conductivities were measured. A technique was developed that measured flow conductivities in S.I. scientific units without using a flow meter and a calibrated pressure gauge. The core aerenchyma was more permeable to gas flow than any other plant tissue, except for those stems that are hollow tubes. Because there was little lateral leakage from the core aerenchyma, it had pipe-like properties. In the outer aerenchyma gas conductivity was high, and gas flowed easily through large lenticels on the surface of the stilt root. To complete the calculations, gas pressures in the stilt roots were measured. The calculated gas flow rates through mud roots was not sufficient to supply O2 for root respiration, suggesting that diffusion may be the more important mechanism for these plants.","claims":[{"public_id":"cl_837e60dddc20dbe074743a7e49c890a4","status":"active","text":"A technique measures gas flow conductivities in SI units without requiring a flow meter or a calibrated
