Evaluating waterlogging stress response and recovery in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.): an image-based phenotyping approach.

ABSTRACT: Waterlogging is expected to become a more prominent yield restricting stress for barley as rainfall frequency is increasing in many regions due to climate change. The duration of waterlogging events in the field is highly variable throughout the season, and this variation is also observed in experimental waterlogging studies. Such variety of protocols make intricate physiological responses challenging to assess and quantify. To assess barley waterlogging tolerance in controlled conditions, we present an optimal duration and setup of simulated waterlogging stress using image-based phenotyping. Six protocols durations, 5, 10, and 14 days of stress with and without seven days of recovery, were tested. To quantify the physiological effects of waterlogging on growth and greenness, we used top d
