Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Lower root zone osmotic potential delayed tiller initiation.
- Intervention effect Lower root zone osmotic potential reduced leaf area production and dry matter accumulation.
- Intervention effect Lower root zone osmotic potential reduced tertiary and quarternary tiller numbers.
- Intervention effect PEG did not affect primary and secondary tiller numbers.
- Intervention effect At day 40, treated plant water and osmotic potentials were more negative than controls.
- Intervention effect Treated and control plants had similar pressure potentials.
- Mechanism Plants accumulated solutes to lower osmotic potential and maintain turgor under PEG stress.
- Observation After acclimation, tiller initiation resumed.
- Observation After acclimation, tillers remained small.
