Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect A drop in leaf RWC from 95% to 85% caused intense stomatal closure in wheat.
- Intervention effect The RWC drop caused intense stomatal closure in Ae. bicornis.
- Intervention effect The RWC drop significantly lowered net CO2 fixation in Ae. bicornis.
- Observation Stomatal conductance and CO2 fixation remained significantly high in Ae. tauschii at 90% to 70% RWC.
- Observation Stomatal conductance and CO2 fixation remained significantly high in Ae. speltoides at 90% to 70% RWC.
- Observation Mesophyll limitation dominated CO2 fixation in drought-stressed wheat.
- Observation Mesophyll limitation dominated CO2 fixation in drought-stressed Ae. bicornis.
- Observation Stomatal limitation characterized Ae. tauschii during drought.
- Observation Stomatal limitation characterized Ae. speltoides during drought.
- Recommendation Ae. tauschii was proposed as a source for improving wheat drought tolerance by crossing.
- Recommendation Ae. speltoides was proposed as a source for improving wheat drought tolerance by crossing.
