Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Water deficit increased leaf and stem dry matter content and SPAD values by 1.2 to 1.4 fold.
- Association Total dry mass and apparent root length density showed accession by treatment interactions.
- Observation DS70622, DS11320 and ILB938/2 had relatively high total dry mass and low stomatal conductance under water deficit.
- Observation DS70622 had finer roots distributed in depth and width in both treatments.
- Observation DS11320 and ILB938/2 produced less densely growing, thicker roots.
- Observation Mélodie/2 was susceptible to drought in the vegetative phase.
- Observation DS70622 explored maximum root volume and maintained dry matter production, especially under water limitation.
