We exposed hydroponically grown canola plants for three days to root hypoxia (waterlogging) followed by reaeration. Hypoxia decreased root hydraulic conductivity (Lpr) and the apoplastic contribution to water transport, which impacted gas exchange and plant water relations. However, the most severe reduction of Lpr was one day following re-aeration and it was accompanied by an increase in the contribution of apoplast to water flow. After one day of re-aeration, a sharp increase in ROS in roots was measured together with a decrease in transcript abundance of most BnPIP2 aquaporins in roots and leaves. A water permeability assay of these BnPIP2s heterologously expressed in yeast confirmed that they are fast water transporters. All yeast strains displayed decreased water permeability with increased concentrations of applied H2O2 and exogenous application of H2O2 to plant roots resulted in a decrease of Lpr. The yeast H2O2 survival assay demonstrated that BnPIP1;2 and BnPIP1;3 facilitate H2O2 transport and, therefore, the increase in gene expression of these aquaporins during re-aeration likely contributed to plant waterlogging recovery. A gradual recovery of Lpr following re-aeration was accompanied by up-regulation of BnPIPs in roots and leaves and the activation of antioxidant enzymes in roots. Net photosynthesis, transpiration rates, and shoot water contents remained depressed one day after re-aeration but recovered over time. Collectively, the results demonstrate that oxidative burst had a decisive impact on modulating the hydraulic recovery of plants upon re-aeration. Since plant injury from root hypoxia involved both the hypoxic event and the ROS burst that occurred soon after root aeration, the ability of plants to recover from waterlogging was partly determined by their ability to handle oxidative stress.
