Does corn have aerenchyma?
Aerenchyma is tissue containing intercellular spaces that aids the transfer of oxygen from the stem to the root. Konings and Verschuren (1980) first reported that growth of maize in aerated, N-deficient nutrient solution resulted in the development of aerenchyma in root cortex.
