Verbatim
e0“A field study was conducted to evaluate the drought tolerance of three sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] cultivars, Gadambalia, Arous elRimal and Tabat”
e4“The leaf water potentials and relative water contents of Gadambalia under wet and dry treatments were similar, while those of Tabat were significantly reduced by water stress”

Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Water stress reduced shoot dry mass of Gadambalia by 43%.
- Intervention effect Water stress reduced shoot dry mass of Arous elRimal by 46%.
- Intervention effect Water stress reduced shoot dry mass of Tabat by 58%.
- Intervention effect Water stress reduced leaf area of Gadambalia by 28%.
- Intervention effect Water stress reduced leaf area of Arous elRimal by 54%.
- Intervention effect Water stress reduced leaf area of Tabat by 63%.
- Intervention effect Water stress reduced net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance and transpiration rate least in Gadambalia and most in Tabat.
- Intervention effect Water stress significantly reduced leaf water potential and relative water content of Tabat.
- Observation Tabat had the lowest and Gadambalia the highest liquid water flow conductance.
- Association Drought tolerance in Gadambalia is associated with smaller leaf area, higher liquid water flow conductance, and maintenance of leaf water status and gas exchange under drought.
