Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Water stress reduced root weight, leaf number, leaf area and stomatal conductance.
- Intervention effect Stressed plants increased water-use efficiency and leaf soluble sugar concentration.
- Intervention effect Stressed plants decreased shoot-to-root ratio and osmotic potential.
- Intervention effect The photosynthesis light phase remained unaffected under water stress.
- Intervention effect Water stress increased leaf sucrose phosphate synthase activity.
- Intervention effect Water stress did not increase root sucrose phosphate synthase activity.
- Intervention effect Water stress inhibited two fructosyltransferase activities after 19 weeks.
- Intervention effect Water stress slightly increased fructan 1-exohydrolase activity.
- Intervention effect Root inulin concentration and mean inulin chain polymerization were unaffected by water stress.
- Observation Root chicory displayed water stress resistance at the expense of growth.
- Mechanism Reduced growth led to a significant decrease in inulin production.
