Transcriptomic Changes during Germination in Hypoxia of Maize (Zea mays L.)

Maize (Zea mays L.) is very sensitive to hypoxic stresses induced by waterlogging and flooding. Dramatic yield losses due to rainfall occasionally occurs in maize cultivation. Such hypersensitivity on hypoxia is specifically significant at early growing stages such as germination and seedling stages and restrict cultivation area of maize.
