Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation The two olive cultivars followed different strategies under water shortage and priming.
- Observation Lefkolia Serron maintained greater photosynthetic function, water use efficiency and antioxidant activity on stress re-exposure.
- Observation Chondrolia Chalkidikis was more susceptible to stress and showed stronger morpho-physiological changes.
- Observation Chondrolia Chalkidikis showed more pronounced metabolic changes under stress.
- Observation Chondrolia Chalkidikis showed more pronounced gene expression changes under stress.
- Intervention effect Drought cycles shifted energy metabolism.
- Mechanism Pre-exposure to drought induced transcriptional memory and more efficient response to repeated stress.
- Recommendation Long-term drought priming may be a genotype-dependent coping strategy.
