Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Short exposure caused slight decreases in RMR and TRA.
- Mechanism The authors infer that excess water may inhibit aquaporin activity and partially reduce soil solution absorption and TRA.
- Intervention effect Water deficit inhibited growth, more strongly during initial restriction.
- Intervention effect Excess water inhibited growth after longer exposure.
- Observation Jatropha showed isohydric stomatal control and maintained turgidity during water shortage.
- Observation Under excess water, root system and relative water content changes preceded lower stomatal conductance.
- Observation Initial Jatropha growth was not very vulnerable to water excess.
