It is known that the expression of anthocyanins depends on internal factors, such as abscisic acid (S-ABA), which induces the MYB1A transcription factor, protein that regulates the transcription of genes that make up the biosynthetic route of anthocyanins(JEONG et al., 2004).

Reduced growth rate is a consequence of diminished leaf stomata aperture due to waterlogging, as it stimulates the production of abscisic acid (ABA) by the roots diminishing gas exchange rate; therefore, as observed in our experiment, no wilting was noticed throughout the time of experiment duration, because the elevated presence of ABA on leaves are related to water maintenance rather than water loss.
