Wheat genotypes show contrasting abilities to recover from anoxia in spite of similar anoxic carbohydrate metabolism.

Abstract excerpt

Physiological and metabolic responses to anoxia and reaeration were compared for 4-7-day-old seedlings of 11 genotypes of wheat (Triticum aestivum) with reputed differences in waterlogging tolerance. Genotypes differed in seminal root elongation, and recovery of root tissue K(+) concentration, during reaeration following 72 h anoxia. Post-anoxic recovery ranged from complete (100% retention of seminal root...
