Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Dawn malic acid maxima fell during drought and rose after irrigation.
- Intervention effect Glucan increased slightly for about nine drought weeks, then decreased, with further decline on irrigation.
- Intervention effect Mucilage increased slightly for about nine drought weeks, then decreased, with further decline on irrigation.
- Association Glucan and mucilage tissue concentrations were correlated.
- Mechanism The authors hypothesize that glucan and mucilage act as storage carbohydrates.
