Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Drought increased free amino acids by 100–200% except in mung bean.
- Intervention effect Four days of chilling reduced mung bean leaf water content by almost 50%.
- Intervention effect The same chilling reduced leaf water content by approximately 6–7% in the other three species.
- Intervention effect Chilling reduced leaf soluble protein in all four species, especially mung bean.
- Intervention effect Mung bean protein fell by over 80% after four days of chilling.
- Association Protein loss under chilling coincided with increased amino acids in chill-sensitive species, but the increase could not account for all lost protein.
- Intervention effect At 100% relative humidity, chilling greatly reduced or prevented water loss.
- Intervention effect At 100% relative humidity, chilling caused no significant fall in leaf soluble protein.
- Intervention effect Chilling at 100% humidity increased free amino acids in chill-sensitive species.
- Intervention effect Drought increased leaf free proline 6–20 fold.
- Intervention effect Chilling and hardening caused little change in leaf free proline.
