Average scores during recovery after partial submergence with water or with a 0.1% starch solution. Data on the left was obtained for plants subjected to partial submergence with water. Three independent replicates were performed, with three to four plants per replicate for each condition (with the exception of the 2-week time point, for which only one plant was used in one of the replicates with Cavalier and Dura). Data on the right was obtained when partial submergence was applied using a 0.1% starch solution. Three independent replicates were performed, with three plants per replicate (with the exception of Dura, for which only two plants were used in one of the replicates). Mean values and standard error of the mean for the three replicates are shown. Significant statistical differences (determined using a Welch’s t-test) are indicated with: ** for p-values \(<\) 0.01; * for p-value \(<\) 0.05
