Overview

Randomized trial investigates waterlogging effects on spring maize growth and yield, suggesting sensitive seedling adaptation mechanisms.

Key Points

  • The study aims to understand the effects of waterlogging stress on spring maize root physiology and rhizosphere enzyme activity.
  • Conducted a pot experiment with different waterlogging durations (5, 10, and 15 days) at the seedling and heading stages.
  • Measured root morphology, anaerobic respiration, enzyme activity, dry matter accumulation, and yield of spring maize.
  • Employed random forest analysis and structural equation modeling to assess factors affecting root dry weight.
  • Root vigour and enzyme activity decreased with longer waterlogging durations.
  • The greatest yield reduction was observed after 15 days of waterlogging at both growth stages.
  • Post-stress recovery was quicker for maize roots subjected to short-term waterlogging compared to long-term.
