Abstract

Application of CCC to wheat and maize reduced transpiration in both soil and solution cultures. This reduction in transpiration was a result of CCC reducing leaf area and increasing the root/shoot ratio. CCC-treated plants did not show an increased tolerance to internal water deficits induced by osmotic shocks or desiccation. CCC did increase the drought resistance of young wheat and maize plants, but only by delaying the onset of severe internal water deficits, i.e. by drought avoidance.
