Root growth, yield and stress tolerance of soybean to transient waterlogging under different climatic regimes.

Global warming-induced abiotic stresses, such as waterlogging, significantly threaten crop yields. Increased rainfall intensity in recent years has exacerbated waterlogging severity, especially in lowlands and heavy soils. Its intensity is projected to increase by 14-35% in the future, posing a serious risk to crop production and the achievement of sustainable development goals.
