e0“Recovery of rates of leaf emergence, leaf extension, tiller number, leaf number, leaf area and shoot dry weight per plant following water deficits lasting for between 10 and 28 days was measured in Bromus catharticus in a controlled environment”
e6“Final shoot dry weight was approximately proportional to the number of 'non- drought' days”

- Intervention effect Leaf extension rate recovered to the control rate within 4-6 days of rewatering after water deficits
- Intervention effect Leaf extension rate exceeded the control rate for up to 28 days after rewatering
- Intervention effect The maximum leaf extension rate of individual leaves during recovery was up to 20% higher than in well watered control plants
- Intervention effect Tiller number increase rate during the initial recovery phase was greater than control by 38%
- Intervention effect Leaf number increase rate during the initial recovery phase was greater than control by 48%
- Intervention effect Leaf area increase rate during the initial recovery phase was greater than control by 51%
- Observation Rates of yield components normalized after the initial recovery phase
- Observation Shoot dry matter accumulation rate showed relatively small differences among treatments
- Association Day-time leaf water potentials were higher than -1400 kPa on non-drought days
