Flood-tolerant mechanism in Melaleuca cajuputi

在热带沼泽树种千层树被淹的根中，糖对身体素质的分配较低，而对能量代谢的分配较高，从而允许高能量状态。不同生长阶段的两种苗木，糖分配的变化方式不同。随着淹水时间的延长，茎和根中形成的腔隙缓解了根中的缺氧。此外，还发现Cajuputi有线粒体，可以在厌氧条件下产生ATP。

In flooded roots of Melaleuca cajuputi, a tree species in tropical swamps, lower allocation of sugars to body constitution and their higher allocation to energy metabolism allowed high energy status. The manner of changes in sugar allocation was different between two kinds of seedlings with different growth stages. When flooded conditions were prolonged, lacunae formed in stem and roots mitigated oxygen shortage in roots. In addition, it was found that M. cajuputi has mitochondria that can generate ATP under anaerobic conditions.
