Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Leaf turgor potential had the greatest variation, followed by leaf water potential and RWC.
- Intervention effect Mild water deficits significantly decreased stomatal conductance.
- Association Under daily irrigation and mild stress, conductance had no significant relation to leaf water status measures.
- Association Including severely stressed nonirrigated plants often yielded significant conductance and leaf water status regressions.
- Observation Authors conclude bulk leaf water measurements inadequately describe conductance responses to mild soil dehydration.
