M. H. Salim; Glenn W. Todd; C. A. Stutte Agronomy Journal 1969. doi:10.2134/agronj1969.00021962006100020003x
Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Plant age from 10 to 28 days generally did not affect cereal water retention.
- Intervention effect Drought hardening significantly increased water retention in one barley cultivar.
- Intervention effect Sand versus soil culture had no consistent effect on water retention.
- Method / resource Detached-leaf water retention, even with eight replicates, poorly differentiated wheat cultivars.
- Association Intact-plant water retention after low-vapor-pressure exposure correlated with survival.
- Observation At a given tissue water level, survival was greater in barley and wheat than in oats.
- Observation Tetrazolium ratings sharply declined when leaf relative water content fell to 30% or less.
- Association Resaturation values were strongly correlated with relative water content after drying in wheat and rye cultivars.
- Observation The authors infer that drought avoidance is more important than tolerance in these plants.
