Ranking of barley varieties based on the two methods applied. Based on each of the traits monitored, varieties that seemed to be the least affected by the partial submergence treatments compared to control plants of the same variety were classified as tolerant (blue). In contrast, varieties that were more strongly negatively affected by the partial submergence were classified as sensitive (orange). Traits for which no significant differences could be detected between control and treated plants are indicated in grey. SPAD and chl a/b measurements were performed during the partial submergence treatment (indicated by dark purple line underneath), while other traits were monitored during the recovery period (highlighted by green line). Note that for the ‘score’ category, ranking was done at day 0 of the recovery for treatment with 0.1% starch, while for partial submergence for water, the scores at four and 6 weeks of recovery were taken into account
