Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Three maize lines had chloroplasts that were more drought-sensitive.
- Intervention effect Drought-sensitive lines had thylakoid membrane damage, swelling, disorganization and increased intrathylakoid space.
- Intervention effect Drought increased plastoglobuli number and size in sensitive lines.
- Intervention effect Drought increased intrathylakoid space in sensitive lines.
- Observation Malondialdehyde content increased markedly in sensitive lines.
- Observation Drought-resistant lines maintained stable chloroplast structures and shapes.
- Observation Drought-sensitive lines had a leaf fresh-mass drought index at or below 0.5.
- Association Lower leaf chlorophyll content was associated with drought sensitivity.
- Association Drought tolerance coincided with less growth reduction.
- Association Drought tolerance coincided with a higher leaf fresh-mass drought index.
- Association Drought tolerance coincided with higher leaf chlorophyll content.
