Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect PEG-induced water stress impaired tomato growth.
- Observation Leaf photosynthesis decreased during the experiment.
- Association Decreased photosynthesis was associated with reduced shoot dry weight relative to root dry weight.
- Observation Leaf area expansion decreased.
- Observation Stomatal conductance decreased.
- Observation Transpiration decreased.
- Intervention effect Water stress enhanced transport of 14C-assimilates from source leaves to lower plant parts.
- Observation Assimilates were incorporated in lower stems, leaves below source leaves and roots.
