- Intervention effect Polyethylene glycol reduced fresh weight of -mtlD calli by 40%.
- Intervention effect Growth of +mtlD calli was unaffected by stress.
- Intervention effect Water stress reduced fresh weight of -mtlD plants by 70%, versus 40% in +mtlD plants.
- Intervention effect Water stress reduced dry weight of -mtlD plants by 56%, versus 8% in +mtlD plants.
- Intervention effect Water stress reduced height of -mtlD plants by 40%, versus 18% in +mtlD plants.
- Intervention effect Water stress reduced flag leaf length of -mtlD plants by 45%, versus 29% in +mtlD plants.
- Intervention effect Salt reduced shoot fresh weight by 77% in -mtlD plants versus 50% in +mtlD plants.
- Intervention effect Salt reduced dry weight by 73% in -mtlD plants versus 30% in +mtlD plants.
- Intervention effect Salt reduced height by 25% in -mtlD plants versus 12% in +mtlD plants.
- Intervention effect Salt reduced flag leaf length by 36% in -mtlD plants versus 20% in +mtlD plants.
- Observation Mannitol accumulated at 1.7-3.7 micromol g(-1) fresh weight in callus.
- Observation Mannitol accumulated at 0.6-2.0 micromol g(-1) fresh weight in mature fifth leaves.
- Mechanism Authors concluded accumulated mannitol was too low to protect by osmotic adjustment.
- Mechanism Authors attributed improved growth to other stress-protective functions of mannitol.
