Title
Drought enhances chilling tolerance in a chilling‐sensitive maize (Zea mays) variety
JUAN J. IRIGOYEN; JAVIER PEREZ DE JUAN; MANUEL SANCHEZ‐DIAZ New Phytologist 1996. doi:10.1111/j.1469-8137.1996.tb01145.x
Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Droughted maize seedlings had higher relative growth and net assimilation rates in recovery.
- Intervention effect Pre-drought reduced chilling-induced leaf necrosis.
- Intervention effect Droughted plants had higher leaf water status after chilling.
- Intervention effect Chilling reduced carbon dioxide exchange similarly in droughted and untreated seedlings.
- Intervention effect During recovery, droughted seedlings had higher carbon dioxide fixation.
- Mechanism The authors inferred that stomatal limitation did not cause chilling-induced CER inhibition.
- Intervention effect Droughted maize had better photosynthetic water-use efficiency.
