Morphophysiological responses of Theobroma cacao L. rootstocks to flooding and post-flooding conditions

Abstract

Highlights• Photochemical performance of cocoa plants was reduced after 7 d and recovered in 14-d post-flooding • Root development was reduced after flooding and a compensatory increase was found in stem diameter • Tolerance was lower in SJ-02 and Esfip-02 and higher in TSH-1188 and Pará
