Abstract  
The study was conducted to evaluate the germination, physiological  
responses, yield-related traits, and seed yield of three mungbean  
varieties, viz. DXVN7, DXVN5, and DX11, under waterlogging  
coditions in the 2019 Summer. In experiment 1, the seeds of the three  
mungbean varieties were immersed in distilled water in Petri dishes  
for 12, 24, 36, 48, and 72h. Afterwards, water was removed and the  
percentage of germinated seeds was calculated at 84h after sowing.  
In experiment 2, plants were waterlogged at the seedling stage (25  
days after germination) for 3, 6, and 9 days. Waterlogging depth was  
maintained at 3cm above the soil surface. Physiological traits were  
determined at the recovery period after termination of waterlogging  
(45 days after germination). The results showed that waterlogging  
significantly decreased germination percentages, plant height, root  
dry weight, leaf relative water content (RWC), SPAD value, Fv/Fm  
index, leaf photosynthesis, total dry weight, and seed yield of all  
varieties. Germination percentages at 12 and 24h of waterlogging  
were not significantly affected, whereas germination was  
significantly reduced at up to 36h of waterlogging. Seventy-two  
hours of waterlogging caused failure in germination. Nine days of  
waterlogging at the seedling stage adversely affected the  
physiological traits and seed yield of the mungbean varieties with  
31% of yield reduction. Meanwhile, plants grew better at 3 days of  
waterlogging. Among the three varieties, DXVN7 showed the best  
adaptability under waterlogging conditions, attaining the highest seed  
germination and yield.

Vu Tien Binh & Sorgan S. K. Tai (2021)  
important pulse crop in Asia because of its rich  
in digestible protein (approximately 25-28%) by  
N2 fixation machinery and a wide range of  
adaptability.  
Materials and Methods  
Materials and experimental design  
Three mungbean varieties, namely DXVN7,  
DXVN5, and DX11, were used in this study.  
DX11 was developed by the Legumes Research  
and Development Center (LRDC), DXVN5 was  
developed by the Maize Research Institute  
(MRI), and DXVN7 was developed by LRDC  
and MRI, Vietnam. Two experiments were  
conducted at the Faculty of Agronomy, Vietnam  
National University of Agriculture in the 2019  
summer season.  
Climate change is affecting agricultural  
production in various ways, including leading to  
changes in average temperatures, rainfall, and  
climate extremes (i.e., storms, floods, and  
droughts, etc.). Waterlogging is considered one  
of the major factors affecting the growth and  
yield of many crops. Mungbean cannot withstand  
soil waterlogging, particularly during the early  
stages of growth (Singh & Singh, 2011).  
Waterlogging reduces oxygen concentrations  
around the roots of the plants, so the plants show  
wilting of their leaves even when enclosed by  
the excess of water, which affects water and  
nutrient uptake (Sairam et al., 2008) and inhibits  
nodule activity and nitrogen fixation (Kumar et  
al., 2013). Additionally, waterlogging has an  
adverse effect on the growth and development of  
the plant, biomass production, pod setting, and  
seed yield by affecting some physiological  
processes. The main physiological effect of  
waterlogging is the inhibition of photosynthesis  
(Ahmed et al., 2006) that is directly related to the  
stomatal limitation, carbon assimilation, and  
disturbance in plant respiratory metabolism (Dat  
et al., 2004).  
Experiment 1: Effect of waterlogging  
duration on germination of three mungbean  
varieties  
Mungbean seeds were rinsed with distilled  
water three times. After that, the seeds were sown  
in Petri dishes (10 seeds per dish) and immersed  
in distilled water for 12, 24, 36, 48, and 72h  
(waterlogging duration) followed by a standard  
germination test along with the control (non-  
waterlogging) in the dark at 25oC. After that,  
water was removed and the seeds were  
germinated in the same condition as the control  
(in the dark at 25oC and 60% relative humidity).  
The number of germinated seeds (>2mm radicle)  
was counted at 84h after sowing. A two factorial  
experiment was designed in a Completely  
Randomized Design (CRD) using six  
waterlogging treatments (factor A) and three  
mungbean varieties (factor B) with three  
replications, one Petri dish per replication. Ten  
seeds were collected from each replicate for the  
measurement of germination percentage and  
fresh radicle weight.  
Waterlogging in mungbean is not unusual,  
but despite this fact, there is little information on  
the responses of germination, physiological  
characteristics, and yield of mungbean varieties  
to soil waterlogging. Under the field conditions,  
waterlogging duration varies with the intensity  
and duration of rain, and soil types as well (Amin  
et al., 2017). Furthermore, successful selection  
and breeding for varieties with waterlogging  
tolerance can only be attained when the  
mechanisms of waterlogging tolerance in  
mungbean are fully understood. Therefore, the  
aim of this study was to determine the effect of  
Experiment 2: Effect of waterlogging  
duration on physiological characteristics and  
yield of three mungbean varieties  
Seeds of each variety were sown separately  
in pots (18 × 16cm) each containing 2kg of dry  
soil per pot. The potting base contained 0.2 g N  
+ 0.5 g P2O5 + 0.3 g K2O. There were two plants  
in each pot. Twenty-five days after germination,  
waterlogging was imitated by applying water and  
kept at 3cm of water level above the soil surface  
for 3 days, 6 days, and 9 days. After that, the  
standing water was removed. The waterlogging  
treatments included the control (non-  
waterlogging  
duration  
on  
germination,  
physiological characteristics, and yield of some  
selected mungbean varieties, thereby selecting  
mungbean varieties with better waterlogging  
tolerance.

waterlogging) and 3, 6, and 9-day waterlogging  
treatments. A two factorial experiment was  
arranged in a Completely Randomized Design  
(CRD) with four replications, with two pots per  
replication. Waterlogging treatments were  
designated factor A, while the three mungbean  
varieties were designated factor B. A total of 96  
pots were used in this experiment. The average  
of two samples per pot was collected from each  
replicate for the estimation of growth,  
physiology, and yield parameters.  
Statistical analysis  
Mean data for each trait was used for the  
analysis of variance (ANOVA) with two factors  
(waterlogging treatments and varieties) and their  
interactions using IRRISTART version 5.0. The  
mean values were compared using the Least  
Significant Difference (LSD) test.  
Results and Discussion  
Effect of waterlogging duration on  
germination of mungbean  
Measurement items and analytical methods  
Germination percentage and fresh radicle  
weight of the three mungbean varieties at 84h  
after sowing are shown in Table 1 and Figure 1.  
Waterlogging duration decreased the percentage  
of germination compared with the control in all  
mungbean varieties. Twelve and twenty-four  
hours of waterlogging showed a significantly  
higher germination percentage than the others.  
But longer than 24h of waterlogging significantly  
reduced seed germination compared with the  
control, below 77% of germination percentage.  
Notably, waterlogging for 72h caused serious  
damages to the germination of seeds in all  
varieties, with the germination percentage of  
only 10% and 3.3%. Waterlogging treatments  
also led to the decline of fresh radicle weight. At  
24h and more of waterlogging duration, there  
was significant reductions compared with the  
control and 12h of waterlogging. The highest  
reduction of fresh radicle weight was at 48h and  
72h of waterlogging in the three mungbean  
varieties. In all varieties, the germination  
percentage and fresh radicle weight of DXVN7  
were higher than those of DXVN5 and DX11.  
Germination percentage of DX11 variety at 72h  
of waterlogging was the lowest.  
In experiment 1: Germination percentage  
(GP) and fresh radicle weight of mungbean  
varieties were calculated at 84h after sowing.  
GP

(Number

In experiment 2: Growth and physiological  
traits of mungbean varieties were sampled at the  
recovery  
period  
after  
termination  
of  
waterlogging (45 days after germination). The  
height of the plant, root dry matter, and SPAD  
values were measured using a chlorophyll meter  
(Konica Minolta Chlorophyll meter SPAD 502,  
Japan). Fv/Fm values were measured using Opti-  
Sciences Chlorophyll Fluorometer (Hudson,  
USA-model OS-30p). Leaf relative water content  
(RWC) was determined by recording the turgid  
weight of 0.5g fresh leaf samples by keeping it in  
water for 4h, followed by drying samples at 80°C  
for 48h or until constant weight achieved  
(Weatherley, 1950).  
RWC (%) = (Fresh weight  
-
dry  
weight)/(Turgid weight - dry weight) x 100  
Leaf photosynthesis rate (µmol CO2/m2  
leaf/s) was recorded using LICOR-6400 (USA)  
at the youngest fully expanded leaf from 11:00 to  
13:00h, at 30oC, CO2 concentration of 370 ppm,  
light density of 1500 µmol/m2/s, and humidity of  
60%. Total dry weight accumulation was  
determined after drying the samples at 80°C for  
48h or until constant weight.  
Soaking is a method to increase the  
percentage of germination in many crops  
(Chippendale, 2008). However, over-soaking  
(more than 48h) causes a drastic reduction in  
germination (Figure 1). The germination  
decreased significantly as the waterlogging  
duration increased. Maybe, some useful  
biochemical and hormones in seeds filtered out,  
thereby decreasing the vigor of seeds. Our results  
also agreed with the research of Ullah (2006) in  
Data on pods per plant, seeds per pod, 100-  
seed weight, and seed yield were recorded at the  
harvest stage. Seed yield was adjusted at 12%  
moisture content.

The results as can be seen in Table 2 show  
that the waterlogged treatments affected the  
development of all varieties. The longer the  
waterlogging duration at the seedling stage, the  
slower the growth of the height of plant and root  
dry weight. These two parameters showed the  
highest reduction at 9 days of waterlogging in the  
three varieties of mungbean, followed by 6 days  
with significant differences compared with the

waterlogging duration. The lowest values of both  
parameters were obtained at 9 days of

Effects of waterlogging duration on germination, physiological characteristics, and yield of mungbean  
Waterlogging caused some physiological  
disturbances, including reductions in RWC,  
SPAD, Fv/Fm index, photosynthesis, and total dry  
weight of mungbean. Wilting in crops under  
waterlogging has been ascribed to higher  
resistance to the mass flow of water through the  
roots (Jackson & Drew, 1984). Waterlogging-  
tolerant plant varieties develop adaptive  
mechanisms to maintain better water  
relationships using stomatal conductance (Malik  
et al., 2001). In our research, waterlogging  
treatments decreased RWC of all mungbean  
varieties. The same results have also been shown  
in pineapples at the flowering stage (Min &  
Bartholomew, 2005) and in mungbean genotypes  
(Kumar et al., 2013) after 6 days of waterlogging.  
plants to convert light energy into chemical  
energy, thereby suppressing the photosynthetic,  
reducing the total amount of organic synthesis,  
and ultimately leading to a reduction in the  
biomass of plants (Zhang et al., 2015).  
Moreover, Ahmed et al. (2006) showed that a  
reduction in photosynthesis is regulated by  
internal damages to photosystem II (PSII) and  
ultimately limits light interception. Reductions in  
the chlorophyll content (SPAD index),  
photosynthesis, and total dry matter of plants  
under waterlogging stress were also reported by  
Ahmed et al. (2006) and Kumar et al. (2013) in  
mungbean; by Wang et al. (2017) in cotton; and  
by Vu Tien Binh & Nguyen Viet Long (2015) in  
soybean.  
According to our experiment, yellow leaves  
of mungbean plants (a reduction in the  
chlorophyll content through SPAD index)  
(Figure 3) might be due to a decrease in leaf  
nitrogen, nodulation, N fixation, and production  
of toxic substances such as nitrites and sulfides  
which move from the soil through roots to the  
leave if carried upward in large quantities (Ezin  
et al., 2010). In addition, chlorophyll has an  
important role in light absorption during the  
photosynthetic process. The decrease in the  
chlorophyll content could lower the efficiency of

Yield components and seed yield of  
mungbean varieties were affected by the  
waterlogging conditions (Table 5). There were  
significant reductions in the number of pods per  
plant, 100-seed weight, and seed yield between  
the waterlogged and control treatments in all  
mungbean varieties. The highest decreases in  
yield components and seed yield were at 9 days  
of waterlogging that reduced the yield of DX11,

DXVN5, and DXVN7 by 39.1%, 35.3%, and  
31.4%, respectively; followed by 6 days of  
waterlogging. Seed yield also declined at 3 days  
of waterlogging but did not differ significantly  
compared to the control. Among three mungbean  
varieties, the highest values of yield components  
and seed yield were observed in DXVN7 variety  
under waterlogging conditions, followed by  
DXVN5 variety. The lowest values of yield  
components and seed yield were recorded in  
DX11 under waterlogging conditions.

waterlogging (Amin et al., 2017; Amin et al.,  
2016).  
Conclusions  
Waterlogging duration affected the  
germination of mungbean varieties. The  
germination percentages and fresh radicle  
weights of waterlogging treatments were lower  
than those in the control treatment. Seed  
germination at 12 and 24h of waterlogging did  
not decreased significantly; whilst germination  
percentages and fresh radicle weight decreased  
the most significantly at 48 and 72h of  
waterlogging.  
Plant yield was also affected under  
waterlogging stress. In our experiment,  
waterlogging at the seedling stage decreased seed  
yield primarily by reducing the number of pods  
per plant and 100-seed weight. On the other  
hand, the reductions in root growth, leaf water  
potential, and leaf photosynthesis under  
waterlogging in mungbean might have resulted  
in decreasing yield components and seed yield. It  
was reported in mungbean with a waterlogging  
duration of more than 6 days (Kumar et al., 2013;  
Waterlogging treatments also inhibited the  
growth and development of three mungbean  
varieties at the seedling stage. A longer  
waterlogging duration caused a higher decrease  
in the height of plant, root dry weight, RWC,  
SPAD, Fv/Fm index, leaf photosynthesis rate,

waterlogging. Among the three mungbean  
varieties, DXVN7 had the highest figures in the  
above parameters, whereas the lowest figures  
were seen in the DX11 variety.
