Fig. 1. Adventitious root weight as a function of aboveground node number for sugarcane cv. CP 72-2086 and CP 80-1743 under flooded and nonflooded treatments in (A) the plant-cane crop and (B) the second-ratoon crop. Note the x and y axes have been reversed to graphically represent the development of adventitious roots on the sugarcane stalk. Error bars represent standard errors of the treatment means.

Fig. 2. Effect of a 3-mo summer flood on sugarcane cv. CP 72-2086 and CP 80-1743: (A) aerenchyma extension, (B) aerenchyma proportional extension, (C) aerenchyma cross-sectional area and (D) aerenchyma proportional area in the plant-cane and second-ratoon crops. Error bars represent standard errors of the treatment means.
