Role of adventitious roots in water relations of tamarack (<it>Larix laricina</it>) seedlings exposed to flooding

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Flooding reduces supply of oxygen to the roots affecting plant water uptake. Some flooding-tolerant tree species including tamarack (<it>Larix laricina</it> (Du Roi) K. Koch) produce adventitious roots in response to floo...
