Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Genotypes differed significantly in taproot and leaf dry matter under stress and non-stress conditions.
- Observation Genotypes differed significantly in taproot sucrose, K, Na and α-amino nitrogen concentrations.
- Observation Genotypic differences were present by mid-June and changed little thereafter.
- Association Genotype did not interact with harvest date.
- Association Genotype by environment interactions generally did not occur.
- Intervention effect Withholding irrigation during drought decreased the percentage of sucrose in dry matter.
- Intervention effect Withholding irrigation during drought caused α-amino N accumulation.
- Association Genotype did not interact with water supply for the studied parameters.
- Association Genotype-specific high α-amino N content did not improve drought adaptation.
- Association Leaf maintenance and taproot-to-leaf ratio during drought did not affect yield response.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that harvest date and regional climate need not guide variety selection.
