Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Osmotic stress decreased sorghum dry weight.
- Intervention effect Osmotic stress decreased sorghum photosynthetic rate.
- Intervention effect Osmotic stress decreased transpiration rate and stomatal conductance.
- Intervention effect Silicon reduced stress-induced declines in measured growth and physiological traits.
- Intervention effect Silicon did not affect stem water transport capacity.
- Intervention effect Silicon increased whole-plant hydraulic conductance under osmotic stress.
- Intervention effect Silicon increased root hydraulic conductance under osmotic stress.
- Association Transpiration changes were similar to changes in whole-plant and root hydraulic conductance.
- Intervention effect HgCl2 reduced transpiration to the same level in silicon-treated and untreated seedlings.
- Intervention effect After DTT recovery, silicon-treated seedlings had higher transpiration than untreated seedlings.
- Intervention effect Silicon increased transcription of several root aquaporin genes under osmotic stress.
- Mechanism The authors infer aquaporin upregulation contributed to increased root water uptake under osmotic stress.
