of flooding on growth, yield and aerenchyma development in adventitious
roots of four kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) cultivars. Three flooding
treatments consisting of early season flooding (30 days after planting),
mid-season flooding (60 days after planting) and late season flooding
(90 days after planting), as well as non-flooding control were used in
the present study. The results show that soil flooding significantly increased
plant height by 108 and 107% over control in early flooding and mid-flooding,
respectively. Early flooding significant decreased the number of leaves
and leaf area of whole plant and core dry weights by 15, 19 and 20% over
non-flooding control, respectively. Soil flooding did not show any significant
effect on plant height and number of leaf among cultivars, but did for
leaf area, leaf dry weight and core dry weight. Early season and mid-season
flooding significant decreased root dry weight in soil by 71 and 49% over
non-flooded control, respectively. No adventitious roots developed in
non-flooded control. Adventitious roots located in water above soil surface
had dry weight of 18, 11 and 6 g plant-1 in early season, mid
season and late season flooding, respectively. No significant difference
in root dry weight located in soil and root dry weight located in water
above soil surface were observed among cultivars. Aerenchyma formed in
adventitious roots when the plant was subjected to flooding and was more
developed in roots located in water above the soil surface as compared
to roots located in soil. All the cultivars formed aerenchyma in their
adventitious roots with variation among cultivars. Soil flooding significantly
decreased fiber yield by 13% in non-flooded control in early season flooding
treatments. However, mid-season and late season flooding did not show
any significant difference on fiber yield in comparison with control.
The cultivars was not significantly difference on fiber yield in the present
experiment.]]>Armstrong, W.,19807225332Armstrong, W., S.H.F.W. Justin, P.M. Beckett and S. Lythe,1991395773Armstrong, W., M.E. Strange, S. Croingle and P.M.
