Flooding tolerance
The resistance of four neotropical trees (Sesbania virgata, Erythrina speciosa, Sebastiania commersoniana and Schizolobium parahyba) towards oxygen deprivation determines their natural habitat zonation. Kolb et al. (pp. 551-558) show that key factors are successful development and establishment of seedlings, based on an appropriate adenylate energy metabolism that is sustained by ethanolic fermentation.
