Knowledge on waterlogging tolerance from germination to crop establishment in lentil and pea is scant.
Plant biomass reduction was calculated by subtracting the average dry weight of plants grown in waterlogging conditions from that in the control, then dividing by the average dry weight in the control.
Mr. Robertson and started India's first drainage project in 1873 to reclaim the land from waterlogging, and people cure from malaria disease.
Though part of the Sangrur district suffers from a falling water table, the other part suffers from waterlogging.
As the stems grow, they form hollow structures inside that allow gas exchange with the atmosphere and thus prevent the plant from waterlogging.
There was a small hole in the bottom of the pots so that the extra water could run away and the roots could free from waterlogging condition.
To identify differentially expressed proteins, the protein peaks from waterlogging (F), 40 °C (H), and 40 °C with waterlogging (HF) at 12-h and 24-h time points were compared to those from the control sample (20 °C).
High transpiration rate of P. australis growing under flood-like conditions display an adaptive feature, protecting it from waterlogging especially in summers and at mild temperate regions (Borin et al. 2011).
Especially in the regions of severe fertilizer loss, the approaches of properly increasing the drainage area and decreasing the layout density of field ditch could be adopted under the precondition of avoiding crops from waterlogging.
This adaptation is clearly important for an aquatic plant, but it may also be of significance in maintaining leaves and petals of other species free from waterlogging.
