Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Many species shift allocation toward water uptake and transport structures during water deficits.
- Mechanism Greater root allocation may increase accessible soil water.
- Mechanism Osmoprotectant accumulation can increase drought tolerance.
- Mechanism Osmotic adjustment under drought permits normal physiological function.
- Mechanism Xanthophyll cycle thermal dissipation and antioxidants are involved in drought photoprotection.
- Mechanism ABA induces water stress genes and apparently contributes to drought signalling.
