Responses to waterlogging of a tolerant chrysanthemum cultivar ('53-4') were compared with those of a susceptible one ('13-13'). Just 4 days of waterlogging were enough to induce wilting and leaf chlorosis in '13-13', but there was no visual damage to the leaves of '53-4' after 8 days of treatment. After 20 days, only a small number of adventitious roots had emerged from '13-13' stems, but many vigorous adventitious roots had formed in '53-4'. Waterlogging induced increases in the activity of alcohol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.1), pyruvate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.1) and lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27) in both cultivars, but the increases in '13-13' were more pronounced than in '53-4'. On the other hand, the activity of superoxide dismutase (EC 1.15.1.1), ascorbate peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.11) and catalase (EC 1.11.1.6) was higher in '53-4' than in '13-13'. Leaves of '13-13' had a higher content of malondialdehyde, and the amount of this stress indicator in '53-4' was stable throughout the waterlogging period. Ethylene production was enhanced by waterlogging in both cultivars, but peak ethylene production occurred 2 days earlier in the tolerant cultivar, and was 3-fold higher than in the susceptible one.
