摘要： The importance of cortical aerenchyma in flood and drought resistance is well established. However, effects of the combination of the two factors remain unclear. We tested the hypothesis that under conditions of substantial water alteration, enhanced root cortical aerenchymas (RCAs) could not only exert a positive effect on root functions under drought periods but also influence nitrogen capture, soil exploration and compensation growth after rehydration. Three maize varieties, Yurui2 (YR2), Yunrui6 (YR6) and Yunrui167 (YR167), were grown under rainfed field conditions, and a subset was grown initially under well-watered and extreme-drought conditions, followed by the same simulated rainfed field conditions, in order to compare the effects on the RCAs during the growing season. Root morphology and function parameters were measured, and variation in the RCAs was induced by water stress. Under extreme drought, we found substantial variation in the RCAs (from 0% to 37%) and drought tolerance performance. During the rehydration stage, different RCA components exerted different effects on maize, recovery parameters and plant N use efficiency. YR6 showed resilient growth, whereas recovery was inhibited in YR167 and YR2, respectively, which possessed the lowest and highest RCA area percentages. The results support the hypothesis that RCA area percentage under drought periods are important for maize recovery after post-drought rehydration.
