- Intervention effect Higher nitrate reduced root to leaf weight ratios.
- Intervention effect Higher nitrate reduced soluble carbohydrate and starch in leaves and roots.
- Association Higher nitrate was associated with higher amino nitrogen and insoluble protein, especially in leaves.
- Association Higher nitrate was associated with lower soluble protein.
- Intervention effect Highest nitrate gave lowest survival after two weeks without water.
- Intervention effect Nitrate affected drought survival less when all treatments reached the same final medium moisture.
