Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Leaf water potential and leaf osmotic potential decreased under drought stress.
- Intervention effect Rate of water loss increased significantly under drought stress.
- Intervention effect Canopy temperature and initial water content did not change significantly under drought stress.
- Observation Under non-stress conditions, leaf osmotic potential at both stages was the best trait.
- Observation Under drought, leaf water potential, leaf osmotic potential at both stages and RWL at grain filling were the most suitable traits.
- Recommendation High yield of sesame under drought could be obtained by selecting breeding materials with the lowest reduction in the listed yield and physiological traits and the highest reduction in RWL.
