“…This is consistent with the conclusions of previous studies that waterlogging may induce stomatal closure, thereby decreasing transpiration and photosynthesis of plant [8,17]. Chlorophyll plays a central role in light absorption during the photosynthetic process.…”

“…For example, it has been shown that waterlogging stress at the squaring and flowering stages significantly inhibits the morphological development of cotton, and leaf area growth is subject to the greatest inhibitory effect of waterlogging stress, followed by stem diameter and plant height[7]. Waterlogging reduces the chlorophyll content as well as the leaf photosynthetic rate of cotton, and alters the characteristics of biomass accumulation in the cotton bolls [8–10]. In terms of cotton yield, higher fruit position, a lower number of total fruit nodes, decreased boll number and weight, and increased boll abscission and rot rates occur with an increasing number of days of waterlogging, and the longer the waterlogging duration is, the greater the extent of yield reduction[11–14].…”

In this study, a soil culture experiment was set up in barrels to investigate the effect of waterlogging duration at different growth stages on the growth, yield, and quality of cotton in the Huang-Huai Region of China during summer. The experiment was conducted at four growth stages of cotton (seedling, squaring, flowering, and boll opening), and the waterlogging duration at each stage was set to five levels (2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 d) and the waterlogging depth was 5cm. Twenty different treatment combinations were established, and one group without waterlogging throughout the whole growth period was used as the control (CK). The results showed that the waterlogging treatments at the different growth stages reduced the morphological and yield parameters of the cotton plants as well as the physiological parameters of the cotton leaves, and the extent of the reduction in these parameters increased with the extension of the waterlogging duration. The effect of waterlogging at different growth stages on the cotton decreased in the order of the flowering, squaring, seedling, and boll-opening stages, and the highest yield reduction rates for the four stages were 38.8%, 27.9%, 18.3%, and 7.6% respectively. Additionally, waterlogging decreased the quality parameters of cotton such as the upper-half mean length, uniformity index, micronaire value, elongation, yellowness, and lint percentage at the squaring, flowering, and boll-opening stages. Furthermore, at the seedling stage waterlogging for no more than 6 d allowed the morphological and yield parameters to recover in the boll-opening stage upon timely drainage, and these parameters showed no significant decreases compared with the CK level. The critical duration of waterlogging at the squaring stage was 4 d. However, at the flowering stage, even 2 d of waterlogging could lead to the stagnation of morphological development and prevent the recovery of the cotton yield to the CK level. Therefore, when waterlogging disasters occur in cotton fields, the implementation of appropriate surface and subsurface drainage schemes for the different growth stages is needed as soon as possible to mitigate the damage.

“…In addition, waterlogging can interrupt boll development by inhibiting the key enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism (sucrose synthase and sucrose phosphate synthase) in fruits (Kuai et al. ). Thus, impaired carbohydrate supply from leaves and its poor utilisation in fruits inhibited the production of new bolls and overall lint yield in WL cotton.…”

Through field studies, cotton responses to dual stresses -waterlogging and low light (shade) were investigated. The hypothesis was that shade would amplify yield losses in waterlogged (WL) cotton. Either early or late in the reproductive phase, the crop was WL (96 h and 120 h, in 2012-2013 and 2013-2014, respectively) and/or shaded (6 days or 9 days in 2012-2013 and 2013-2014, respectively). Waterlogging at early reproductive phase significantly reduced lint yield (17 % averaged across both years) of cotton, although shade-induced yield losses (18 %) were only significant in 2013-2014. Shade significantly exacerbated yield losses only when the impact of waterlogging damage was modest (2013-2014). More intense waterlogging impaired lint yield independently of the light levels. Yield reductions in these experiments were the consequence of both accelerated fruit abscission and fewer fruiting nodes produced. Plants had lower leaf nitrogen levels and photosynthetic rates after waterlogging and/or shade treatments and produced fewer fruiting nodes. Although long-term shade increased specific leaf area (30 %) and leaf N (20 %) immediately following 5 days of waterlogging, it did not restore shoot growth, node formation or lint yield because of suppressed photosynthetic performance (area basis) and carbohydrate supply.

“…Waterlogging during the flowering and boll setting stage caused reduction of net photosynthetic rate (Pn), chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b, initial ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase (Rubisco) activity, and cytosolic fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (cy-FBPase) activity; moreover, lower Pn, sucrose transformation rate, and initial Rubisco activity were directly associated with low boll weight under waterlogged conditions (Kuai et al 2014). Deficiency of specific nutrients in cotton leaves can cause chlorophyll and photosynthesis reduction (Ashraf et al 2011;Conaty et al 2008).…”

This review outlines nitrogen (N) responses in crop production and potential management decisions to ameliorate abiotic stresses for better crop production. N is a primary constituent of the nucleotides and proteins that are essential for life. Production and application of N fertilizers consume huge amounts of energy, and excess is detrimental to the environment. Therefore, increasing plant N use efficiency (NUE) is important for the development of sustainable agriculture. NUE has a key role in crop yield and can be enhanced by controlling loss of fertilizers by application of humic acid and natural polymers (hydrogels), having high water-holding capacity which can improve plant performance under field conditions. Abiotic stresses such as waterlogging, drought, heat, and salinity are the major limitations for successful crop production. Therefore, integrated management approaches such as addition of aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG), the film antitranspirant (di-1-p-menthene and pinolene) nutrients, hydrogels, and phytohormones may provide novel approaches to improve plant tolerance against abiotic stress-induced damage. Moreover, for plant breeders and molecular biologists, it is a challenge to develop cotton cultivars that can tolerate plant abiotic stresses while having high potential NUE for the future.
