Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Cultivar differences in wheat water retention were differentiated when leaf water content decreased by 11 to 30 percent.
- Observation Wheat excised-leaf water retention capability increased in winter relative to summer.
- Intervention effect Drought-hardened wheat had higher water retention capability.
- Observation Winter wheat progeny water retention distributions showed quantitative inheritance.
- Mechanism Wheat excised-leaf water retention appears to be a quantitative character governed by multiple genes.
