Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Water stress decreased leaf thickness and ground tissue thickness in flag leaves of both wheat cultivars.
- Intervention effect Water stress decreased metaxylem vessel area, xylem vessel area and phloem tissue area in flag leaves of both wheat cultivars.
- Intervention effect Water stress decreased vascular bundle area, number of motor cells and number of opened stomata on both epidermes of flag leaves of both wheat cultivars.
- Intervention effect Water stress increased the number of hairs and closed stomata on both epidermes of flag leaves of the two wheat cultivars.
- Intervention effect Water stress decreased peduncle diameter, tracheids area and metaxylem vessel area in both wheat cultivars.
- Intervention effect Water stress decreased xylem tissue area, phloem tissue area and vascular tissue area of the peduncle in both wheat cultivars.
- Intervention effect Water stress decreased the number of vascular bundles and opened stomata of the peduncle in both wheat cultivars.
- Intervention effect Water stress increased the number of hairs and closed stomata on the peduncle surface of the two wheat cultivars.
- Association The sensitive wheat cultivar was more affected by water stress than the resistant one.
- Intervention effect Application of glycine betaine, salicylic acid or their interaction induced some modifications in the anatomical features of the flag leaf and peduncle of the main shoot.
- Mechanism The authors interpret the GB and SA induced anatomical modifications as an adaptive response to drought stress.
