e0“In another experiment in which water was withheld under high relative humidity, when soil water content started to decrease W-1 rapidly closed stomata in the absence of any change in leaf water status and the reduction in conductance was paralleled by a rise in xylem sap ABA concentration”
e1“The response of w-1, a wilty sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) mutant, to water stress is described in comparison with the control line (W-1)”

Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect The w-1 mutant leaves showed no significant change in leaf conductance during detached-leaf dehydration
- Intervention effect Detached w-1 leaves dehydrated strongly during the first 30 min
- Intervention effect W-1 reduced stomatal aperture rapidly in response to water loss
- Intervention effect ABA increased slightly in w-1 leaves after 2 h of stress
- Intervention effect ABA increased 20-fold in W-1 leaves after 2 h of stress
- Intervention effect Potted w-1 plants dehydrated quickly and lost turgor under water withholding
- Intervention effect W-1 maintained positive turgor for a longer period under water withholding
- Intervention effect Wild-type plants accumulated ABA in response to small changes in leaf water potential
- Intervention effect The mutant changed ABA content and stomatal conductance only at very low water potentials
- Association Conductance reduction in W-1 was paralleled by a rise in xylem sap ABA concentration
- Intervention effect The mutant accumulated ABA in xylem sap only when soil and leaf water potential were dramatically reduced
- Mechanism Low endogenous ABA and slow ABA synthesis appear to explain the high sensitivity of w-1 to water stress
