[APD] adaptations to submersion
The article here:
http://www.uta.edu/biology/gough/courses/wetlands/Physiological%20changes%20by%20wetland%20plants%20that%20contribut.pdf
points out two adaptations by plants to flooding, both of which allow the
plant to deal with hypoxic or anoxic substrates. They are; the development
of aerenchyma and the ability to switch to a fermentive cellular metabolism.
No mention of changes to the cuticle.
