TL;DR: It is suggested that silicon application may be useful to improve the drought tolerance of sorghum via the enhancement of water uptake ability.

TL;DR: Comparisons among the WLjoint, WLanthe and WW plots indicate that in wheat, root sensitivity to waterlogging rises markedly during the post-anthesis period, and indicates that root injury by waterlogged at jointing induces rapid leaf senescence in the grain filling period.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of silicon application on stomatal conductance in sorghum were investigated and the results indicated that silicon application could affect stomato conductance of seedlings through the modification of plant water relations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted field experiments over two seasons (2008-2009 and 2009-2010) in Yamaguchi, Western Japan, with waterlogging treatment using two Japanese wheat cultivars, Daichinominori (Western Japanese cultivar) and Haruyutaka (Hokkaido cultivar), which differ in terms of grain growth in the environment of Western Japan.

TL;DR: It is shown that roots exposed to waterlogging or to hypoxic treatments do not increase their weights and thus recover from the metabolic disturbances resulting from these treatments.
