Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Zinc application had little influence on drought-related decreases in leaf water potential, water content and free water content.
- Intervention effect Drought markedly decreased detached leaf water loss rate.
- Intervention effect Zinc application did not affect detached leaf water loss rate under drought.
- Intervention effect Soil water deficit inhibited stomatal resistance and conductance to water vapor.
- Intervention effect Soil water deficit inhibited photosynthesis and transpiration rates and water use efficiency.
- Intervention effect Zinc supply mitigated adverse physiological effects of soil water deficit.
- Mechanism Zinc enhanced leaf photosynthesis rate, explaining its drought mitigation.
- Intervention effect Zinc promotion of growth and physiology was more marked with adequate soil water.
