Effects of transient subsurface waterlogging on root growth, plant biomass and yield of chickpea

Chlorophyll Fluorescence and Yield Responses of Winter Wheat to Waterlogging at Different Growth Stages

“…In wheat, symptoms and injury are initially evident in the roots. When the soil is saturated with water, oxygen deficiency rapidly develops in the roots, causing a sequence of chemical and biochemical reactions, producing components that might be injurious to root metabolism (Palta et al, 2010). In addition, waterlogging at the tillering stage delayed the time of anthesis and maturity, which is consistent with previous studies (Robertson et al, 2009).…”

Resistant Evaluation of Kiwifruit Rootstocks to Root Zone Hypoxia Stress

“…Therefore, under root zone hypoxia stress, 10 kinds of kiwi fruit seedlings' biomass were closely related to their tolerance-sensitivity. Research results were consistent with that of Malus, chickpea, Brassica napus L. [26][27][28].…”

“…For example, root zone hypoxia stress inhibited growth of Malus species seedlings, and there were significant differences in intensity among genotypes [26]. The transient waterlogging reduced the seed yield by 54% in the kabuli cultivar Almaz of chickpea, but by 44% in the desi cultivar Rupali and root length and root dry matter were higher in the kabuli cultivar Almaz than in the desi cultivar Rupali after waterlogging [27]. Among 30 cross-combinations, the cultivars of Brassica napus L. Zhongshuang 9 and P79 had higher tolerance potential to waterlogging stress.…”

Yield Response of Soybean (Glycine max L.) Genotypes to Water Deficit Stress

“…The highest relative pod number plant -1 and individual seed weight in genotype G00022 mostly contributed to the highest relative seed yield of this genotype. Higher yield in tolerant genotype G00022 resulted with increases in the number of pods, higher rate of photosynthesis under water stress (Palta et al, 2010).…”
