Experimental design of the study. Seeds of the 3 varieties of wheat; Atta Habib, Siran and G-IBGE were sown and grown for 15 days, flooded until Day 21, and followed by removal of flooding stress and allowed to recover till day 28. Root and shoot samples were collected at Days 21 and 28 from treated and untreated (control) plants.
Effect of flooding stress and recovery on phenotypes of Atta Habib (2.1), Siran (2.2) and G-IBGE (2.3); where a: 21 days control plants, b: flooded plants c: 28 days control plants, d: recovering plants.
Effect of flooding stress and post-flooding recovery on the shoot length, shoot weight, root length and root weight of wheat. The data represents mean of three replicates. Asterisks (*) represents significance at the level of p<0.05 when compared cultivar over time and cultivar over treatment through One-Way-ANOVA. Different alphabets depict LSD among the cultivars at a specific time-point.
CAT, SOD and POD activities changes in in wheat varieties under flooding stress and during recovery. The data represents mean of three replicates. EA is abbreviation for enzyme activity. Asterisks (*) represents significance at the level of p<0.05 when compared cultivar over time and cultivar over treatment through One-Way-ANOVA. Different alphabets depict LSD among the cultivars at a specific time-point.
