Abstract
When waterlogged over a period of 80 days plants of Eucalyptus robusta Sm. showed symptoms of leaf chlorosis, epinasty and premature abscission, reduction of stem elongation, stem hypertrophy and formation of adventitious shoots; chlorophyll content was reduced and soluble protein content of the upper leaves increased. Waterlogging doubled the rate of release of ethylene from roots and stems within 6 days, but had no effect on the ethylene concentration of leaves.Keywords
