Abstract: | Waterlogging is an important constraint of global production of rape. The effects of seed film coating with 0.0075% uniconazole
on the growth and physiology was investigated using seedlings from three varieties of rape (Brassica napus L.) subjected to waterlogging. While seed coating with uniconazole had no significant effect on germination percentage during
waterlogging stress, it enhanced root vigour, increased root length, root volume and root dry weight. It also significantly
enhanced leaf dry weight and ratio of root to shoot, but induced a significant decrease in shoot height and stem dry weight.
Seed film coating with uniconazole also significantly increased the activities of the antioxidant enzymes, POD, CAT and SOD,
and soluble sugar concentration during waterlogging. Thus, it suggests that seed film coating with uniconazole at a suitable
concentration can improve rape seedling growth and increase seedling establishment during waterlogging. |
