Abstract:The objectives of the present study were to compare the dynamic of the growth and photosynthetic characteristics of cotton varieties contrasting in waterlogging (WL) tolerance when subjected to hypoxia stress. The growth of the WL-sensitive genotypes was notably inhibited by WL, mainly as a result of a significant reduction in the net photosynthesis (PN) after two days of hypoxia treatment; in the tolerant varieties, no significant changes in PN were observed until 8 d after hypoxia onset.

“…The decrease in Fv/Fm was noted in more sensitive tomato and cucumber plants in our experiments. In agreement with our results, a decrease in Fv/Fm after waterlogging was also observed in rice [54,57], cucumber [56,58], tomato [59,60], wild tomato (Solanum habrochaites S.Knapp & D.M.Spooner) [61], Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana L.) [62], cotton [39], and pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) plants [63]. Barik et al [57] examined the reaction of tolerant and susceptible varieties of rice to submergence and observed that the latter exhibited a greater reduction in Fv/Fm parameters in comparison to tolerant varieties.…”

“…Barik et al [57] examined the reaction of tolerant and susceptible varieties of rice to submergence and observed that the latter exhibited a greater reduction in Fv/Fm parameters in comparison to tolerant varieties. Similarly, in an experiment with cotton, the Fv/Fm parameter was stable in tolerant varieties and significantly decreased in sensitive varieties under hypoxia [39]. In the case of sorghum after waterlogging stress, the changes in Fv/Fm parameters were not significant, despite the observation of a substantial decrease in the Fv/F 0 parameter [64].…”

“…Therefore, it is reasonable to study the intensity of photosynthesis or chlorophyll a fluorescence during stresses involving the root system, such as hypoxia, salinity, or others that interfere in the functioning of the plant. For example, decreases in net photosynthesis as well as a decline in maximal photochemical efficiency of PSII after hypoxia have been observed in sensitive accessions of cotton [39], while in tolerant forms, the changes were not observed. The JIP-test, widely discussed since 1995, is a good tool for comparing stressed and control samples and allows investigation of the effects of almost any stress factor, although only if the stress affects photosynthesis [51].…”

“…Decreases in plant height were observed after waterlogging in cucumber [56] and field bean (Vicia faba L. minor) [65]. Six cotton varieties, sensitive and tolerant to hypoxia stress, were tested by Pan et al [39], and an inhibition in plant growth was observed in more sensitive varieties. However, plant height in stressed tolerant cotton was similar to untreated plants.…”
Waterlogging anomalies have recently increased, causing a reduction in yield and the loss of billions of dollars. Plant selection for increased tolerance to stress factors requires parameters with high sensitivity, as well as fast and inexpensive measurements. The aim of this study was to select tomato and cucumber accessions that reveal sensitivity and tolerance to waterlogging stress at an early vegetative stage. The selection of effective criteria for assessing plants was also an important issue. A total of 19 cucumber (including four highly homozygous) and 16 tomato accessions were evaluated, and plants with three true leaves were examined. The root zone of stressed plants was waterlogged for 7 days in a deep container. Morphological and physiological characteristics were obtained after 7 days of treatment and used for cluster analysis for discrimination of tolerant and sensitive accessions. Significant decreases in Fv/F0, Fv/Fm, Area, PI ABS, ET0/ABS, and ET0/TR0 parameters, as well as increases in DI0/RC, were observed in sensitive accessions, with no changes in tolerant plants. The OJIP test parameters (Fv/F0, PI ABS, DI0/RC, and Area) were more sensitive in selecting for waterlogging stress than Fv/Fm. The present research can be used in breeding programs. Selected accessions will support a detailed explanation of the physiological differences in response to waterlogging stress in tomato and cucumber plants.

“…Previous studies showed that the net photosynthetic rate of waterloggingâsensitive cotton significantly decreased at 2 days of hypoxia treatment (Pan et al 2019a, 2019b). In wheat, the plant height was reduced by 30% after hypoxia treatment for 8 days (Pan et al 2019a, 2019b).…”
Sweet potato, commonly planted in Southeast Asia and South America with abundant rainfall, often suffers from waterlogging. The aerenchyma formation in roots is an effective way for plants to facilitate gas exchange. In the present study, tolerant and sensitive varieties, respectively, designated NC1 and C211, were evaluated under water oxygen content at 2.0 mg·Lâ1 (hypoxia treatment) and 8.0 mg·Lâ1 (control). The results showed that NC1 variety has a relatively higher root growth rate under low oxygen condition. In NC1 plants, aerenchyma was observed in the midâsection of the main adventitious root and spread to the proximal and distal ends, forming a complete channel in the cortex. However, in C211 plants, the aerenchyma occurred relatively later and could not turn into a whole channel. Ethylene synthesisârelated (ACS1, ACS4, ACS5, etc.) and signal transductionârelated (ETR1, ERS1, EIN2, etc.) genes were upregulated in the NC1 plants and led to changes in the reactive oxygen speciesârelated genes (RBOHA, SOD, CAT, etc.) and enzyme activities. It was found that programmed cell death was induced by H2O2 accumulation. A regulatory model of lysigenous aerenchyma formation in the root of sweet potato was constructed. Our study enriches the understanding of the mechanisms of the aerenchyma formation in plants.
