Effects of waterlogging on fruit plants a review
2014
Anderson, Moreno C | Fischer, Gerhard
Excessive rain, a deficient drainage system, and compacted soils are the principal causes of waterlogging, which can generate a reduction in vegetative growth, changes in plant metabolism, low absorption of water and nutrients, low production, and the death of some organs or complete plants. The damage from waterlogging is major with extended stress and in less tolerant plants. Plants are more tolerant with defensive modifications such as alternate routes of respiration, increased production of antioxidants and ethylene, epinasty induction and the closing of stomata, and the formation of new structures such as aerenchyma, hypertrophied lenticels, and adventitious roots. Fruit trees suffer from lack of oxygen due to flooding. However, the lack of oxygen can lead to death of plants; well executed measures can be very useful to attenuate the negative effects of stress.
