Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Water stress produced smaller kernels at maturity.
- Intervention effect Water stress caused earlier stem weight loss.
- Intervention effect Stem fructose increased before stress-associated dry matter loss.
- Intervention effect Stem fructan fell before stress-associated dry matter loss.
- Intervention effect Fructan exohydrolase activity rose in internodes of stressed plants as fructan fell.
- Intervention effect Acid invertase activity rose in internodes of stressed plants as fructan fell.
- Mechanism The authors suggest stress-associated enzyme induction may convert fructans to fructose.
- Mechanism The authors suggest this conversion may be only indirectly related to changing reserve demand.
