Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Sixty percent field capacity decreased morphological and physiological traits.
- Observation Drought-tolerant clones were less affected by stress than other clones.
- Observation Drought-tolerant clones produced more flowers than other clones.
- Observation Clone 12 was the most drought tolerant Impatiens clone.
- Observation Stomatal closure did not significantly reduce fresh and dry weight in tolerant plants.
- Observation Stomatal closure delayed flower initiation.
- Mechanism Assimilate accumulated for plant height and diameter growth but was insufficient for generative initiation.
- Observation Flower numbers did not significantly decrease in tolerant plants.
- Recommendation Drought-tolerant clones can supply genotypes for release as landscape varieties.
