Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Foliar boron significantly increased leaf water relation measures under terminal drought.
- Intervention effect Foliar boron significantly increased turgor pressure under terminal drought.
- Intervention effect Foliar boron improved leaf and seed nitrogen and boron concentrations under terminal drought.
- Intervention effect Foliar boron improved chlorophyll a and b pigments under terminal drought.
- Mechanism Drought-induced proline accumulation was described as preventing drought damage.
- Intervention effect Foliar boron increased proline content.
- Intervention effect Terminal drought reduced leaf area index, crop growth rate, and net assimilation rate versus well-watered conditions.
- Recommendation The authors suggest 30 mg L−1 foliar boron to improve sunflower drought tolerance with reduced growth losses.
