Other claims from this paper (11)
- Method / resource Transcriptome sequencing identified 2201 potential genic repeats.
- Observation The repeats confirmed genetic differentiation between populations.
- Intervention effect Drought reduced photosynthesis, water potential and relative water content in both populations.
- Intervention effect Drought reduced growth in both populations.
- Intervention effect Photosynthesis recovered completely after rewatering in both populations.
- Observation Growth recovered better in PY than IA plants.
- Observation PY accumulated more secondary metabolites than IA during water stress.
- Mechanism The higher de-epoxidation state contributed to protecting the photosynthetic apparatus.
- Observation Moringa showed high genetic variability and phenotypic plasticity.
- Mechanism Authors inferred that high plasticity helps endure brief recurring water stress.
- Mechanism Authors inferred that secondary metabolism investment helps with prolonged drought.
