under waterlogged conditions. Fig. 8 presents the ratio of oxidized
ASA to reduced ASA content in tomato and eggplant
roots. The ratio of oxidized ASA to reduced ASA of EG203
and ASVEG #6 increased after 3 h of flooding, followed
by a decrease at 6 and 12 h of flooding, and then increased
after 24 h. The redox state of ascorbate of EG117 remained
low and stable during 72 h flooding. L4422 showed an increased
ratio of oxidized ASA to reduced ASA until 6 h of
flooding, and fluctuated thereafter. GSSG content showed
the highest level for each entry during the 48 h of waterlog.
Yet, GSSG content declined after 72 h of treatment
(Fig. 9). However, the genotypic response to the GGSG
