Claim · model-written summary
The authors postulate that the rapid reduction in leaf area growth and stomatal closure may be due to cassava's ability to rapidly synthesize and accumulate ABA early in water deficit.

Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Under water deficit, leaves of all cassava genotypes rapidly accumulated large amounts of ABA in both mature and young leaves.
- Intervention effect Young cassava leaves halted leaf expansion growth under water deficit.
- Intervention effect Transpiration rate of cassava decreased under water deficit.
- Observation Young cassava leaves accumulated more ABA than mature leaves in both control and stressed treatments.
- Intervention effect The high ABA levels under water deficit were completely reversed to control levels after 1 d of rewatering.
- Association The rapid return to control ABA levels corresponded with a rapid recovery of leaf area growth rates in cassava.
