Abstract Waterlogging is an illustrious abiotic stress and the constrictions it enforces on plant roots have negative effects
on growth and development. This study was undertaken to investigate waterlogging stress tolerant potential in chilli
(Capsicum annum L.) genotypes through evaluating morphological, physiological, biochemical and anatomical
parameters. Thirty-five days old seedlings of 10 chilli genotypes were exposed to waterlogging stress maintaining
water height 3–5 cm over the soil surface artificially for three days. This duration (36–38 DAE) was termed as
waterlogging period, and subsequent withdrawal of waterlogging condition (39–45 DAE) was regarded as a recovery
phase. Based on… More >
