Abstract
Flooding conditions reduced the root dry weight, the root/shoot ratio, the root length, and the total dry weight. Genotype variation was found in all the root growth traits and the adventitious roots under flooding conditions, and genotype differences were observed for flooding tolerance. A positive and significant correlation between root dry weight and total dry weight (r = 0.76**) was found. The tolerance index (TI) of the root dry weight also correlated positively with the TI of the dry weight for different parts of the sugarcane (r=0.84** to 0.93**). Additionally, the correlation between the number of aboveground roots and the TI of the total dry weight was a significantly positive result(r = 0.68*). These findings suggested that root growth and the ability to form adventitious roots in flood-prone sugarcane genotypes are crucial factors for promoting flooding tolerance.
