Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Active osmotic adjustment occurred at the end of water stress.
- Intervention effect The 0.18 MPa osmotic adjustment did not modify leaf water potential at turgor loss.
- Mechanism Active osmotic adjustment maintained turgor.
- Observation Relative apoplastic water content was high.
- Intervention effect Water stress lowered relative apoplastic water content.
- Observation Stomatal reopening was delayed after rewatering.
- Mechanism The authors attribute peach drought resistance to stomatal control, active osmotic adjustment and high apoplastic water content.
