Title
Triadimefon Protects Bean Plants from Water Stress through its Effects on Abscisic Acid

Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Triadimefon significantly reduced bean shoot weight, shoot length and leaf area.
- Intervention effect Treated bean roots appeared whiter and thicker.
- Intervention effect Triadimefon increased bean leaf chlorophyll and carotenoid levels.
- Intervention effect Triadimefon did not change protein levels in bean leaves or roots.
- Intervention effect Triadimefon reduced transpiration in beans.
- Intervention effect Triadimefon increased bean leaf diffusive resistance, suggesting partial stomatal closure.
- Intervention effect Treated bean plants maintained water potential while control plants declined.
- Intervention effect Bean leaf osmotic potentials fell in both groups, with significantly lower values in controls.
- Intervention effect Three days after triadimefon, treated bean leaves had over twice control abscisic acid levels under both water conditions.
- Mechanism The authors infer that altered ABA levels partly mediate triadimefon protection against water stress.
