- Observation Osmotic potential of C8-3 leaves was - 0.93 MPa.
- Observation Osmotic potential of C8-3 roots was - 0.11 MPa.
- Association Clones with higher compatible solutes maintained higher RWC, lower osmotic potential and smaller reductions in leaf water potential.
- Observation C8-3 had poor recovery ability after water withholding.
- Observation Heatmap and PCA analyses categorised the clones into three groups.
- Association Osmotic adjustment is a more critical trait than growth and stomatal parameters in differentiating tolerant from sensitive clones.
