| CK+WL | 8.03 ± 0.10ab | 26.00 ± 1.47b | 47.12 ± 2.31ab | 11.94 ± 0.64b |

Note:
Values are means ± standard errors (n = 4). Different alphabetical letters as superscripted within the same column indicate significant differences among various treatments according to a least significant difference test (LSD) (P < 0.05). WL, water-sprayed waterlogged-stressed plants; CK+WL, cytokinin (CK)-sprayed (50 mg L−1) waterlogged-stressed plants; GA3+WL, gibberellic acid (GA)-sprayed (50 mg L−1) waterlogged-stressed plants.
