Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Water stress reduced cotton biomass, C/N ratio, root vigor, and leaf photosynthesis.
- Intervention effect Water stress reduced cotton leaf photosynthesis.
- Intervention effect Antioxidant enzyme changes were greatest at low nitrogen under drought and waterlogging.
- Intervention effect Water stress significantly increased malondialdehyde content.
- Intervention effect Water stress significantly reduced nitrogen accumulation.
- Intervention effect Low nitrogen increased carbon accumulation.
- Intervention effect High nitrogen decreased nitrogen accumulation.
- Intervention effect Cotton root vigor was highest at low nitrogen rate.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen after water stress promoted root vigor, especially after waterlogging.
- Association Photosynthesis followed the same trends as root vigor.
- Mechanism Low nitrogen may contribute to drought tolerance through antioxidant activity, reduced lipid peroxidation, and root vigor.
- Recommendation The authors recommend higher nitrogen after waterlogging ends.
