- Intervention effect Water stress reduced shoot dry mass of Gadambalia by 43%.
- Intervention effect Water stress reduced shoot dry mass of Arous elRimal by 46%.
- Intervention effect Water stress reduced shoot dry mass of Tabat by 58%.
- Intervention effect Water stress reduced leaf area of Arous elRimal by 54%.
- Intervention effect Water stress reduced leaf area of Tabat by 63%.
- Intervention effect Water stress reduced net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance and transpiration rate least in Gadambalia and most in Tabat.
- Intervention effect Leaf water potential and relative water content of Gadambalia were similar under wet and dry treatments.
- Intervention effect Water stress significantly reduced leaf water potential and relative water content of Tabat.
- Observation Tabat had the lowest and Gadambalia the highest liquid water flow conductance.
- Association Drought tolerance in Gadambalia is associated with smaller leaf area, higher liquid water flow conductance, and maintenance of leaf water status and gas exchange under drought.
