Abstract
Waterlogging stands as a common environmental challenge, significantly affecting plant growth, yield, and, in severe cases, survival. In response to waterlogging stress, plants exhibit a series of intricate physiologic, metabolic, and morphologic adaptations. Notably, the gaseous phytohormone ethylene is rapidly accumulated in the plant submerged tissues, assuming an important regulatory factor in plant-waterlogging tolerance. In this review, we summarize recent advances in research on the mechanisms of ethylene in the regulation of plant responses to waterlogging stress. Recent advances found that both ethylene biosynthesis and signal transduction make indispensable contributions to modulating plant adaptation mechanisms to waterlogged condition. Ethylene was also discovered to play an important role in plant physiologic metabolic responses to waterlogging stress, including the energy mechanism, morphologic adaptation, ROS regulation and interactions with other phytohormones. The comprehensive exploration of ethylene and its associated genes provides valuable insights into the precise strategies to leverage ethylene metabolism for enhancing plant resistance to waterlogging stress.
