Other claims from this paper (4)
- Association Whole-plant WUE increased with ploidy during wheat evolution from 2n to 6n.
- Association WUE was significantly negatively correlated with root weight and root/shoot ratio.
- Mechanism Root growth was interpreted as adverse redundancy for wheat WUE.
- Association Root redundancy decreased as ploidy increased.
