Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Physiological responses and expression coefficients of variation were relatively similar across experiments despite dissimilar drought gene expression responses.
- Observation Drought gene expression responses were highly dissimilar across experiments.
- Intervention effect Small greenhouse pots elicited nearly identical physiological changes to the field experiment.
- Intervention effect The greenhouse small-pot drought experiment had an order of magnitude more differentially expressed genes than the field experiment.
- Observation Several hundred genes were differentially expressed in all experiments.
- Observation The shared gene list was strongly enriched in photosynthesis, water status and reactive oxygen species responsive genes.
- Mechanism Diverse genetic mechanisms can produce phenotypically similar responses to soil water deficits.
