Figure 1.

The growth of well-watered and waterlogged banana plants was measured in terms of (A) total root length, (B) root-to-shoot (R/S) dry weight (DW) ratio, and (C) leaf area differences. (D) The effect of waterlogging on relative water content (RWC) was assessed between well-watered and waterlogged leaf samples. Data are presented as means ± standard error from nine independent biological replicates. Different capital letters indicate a significant difference between time points within well-watered samples, while different lowercase letters indicate a significant difference between time points within waterlogged samples (p < 0.05).
