Abstract Submergence ofRumex crispus L. andR. palustris Sm. stimulates elongation of the youngest petiole. InR. palustris this response can be mimicked partially by exposure to exogenous ethylene. In both species, petiole elongation induced by ethylene and/or submergence is distributed nearly equally over the whole petiole length and is almost completely attributable to increased cell expansion. InR. acetosa L., extension of the youngest petiole is inhibited by submergence of the whole plant. The strongest growth inhibition within the youngest petiole was observed in the most distal parts and is probably the result of reduced cell expansion.
