Advances in Waterlogging-resistance of Woody Plants

From the viewpoints of morphological structure, physiological and physiochemical reaction and molecular biology, the advances in waterlogging resistance of woody plants at home and abroad were described. Under waterlogging condition, the variations in morphological structure, height increment and biomass accumulation were obvious. The photosynthesis, the defend enzyme, respiration metabolism changed correspondingly. Based on the achievement of study, the index of waterlogging resistance, the selection and breeding of waterlogging resistance species and the main methods of breeding were summarized. The authors also pointed out the problems existed and the trend of resistance breeding.
