Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Transgenic WXP1 alfalfa showed higher net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, and stomatal conductance than controls under water stress and after rewatering.
- Intervention effect Transgenic WXP1 alfalfa showed higher efficiency of photosystem II, quantum yield of photosystem II, coefficient of photochemical quenching than controls under water stress and after rewatering.
- Intervention effect Transgenic WXP1 alfalfa showed higher apparent electron transport rate than controls under water stress and after rewatering.
- Observation Transgenic lines had higher relative water content under water deficit.
- Observation Transgenic lines had higher leaf water potential under water deficit.
- Observation CER6::WXP1 plants had normal growth and development.
- Observation CER6::WXP1 plants showed enhanced drought tolerance.
- Association Increased wax accumulation did not negatively affect photosynthesis.
- Mechanism WXP1 was implicated in wax biosynthesis and other responses linked to drought tolerance.
