e0“The response of sweet pepper seedlings to different doses of low night temperature (LNT) (1/4/7 nights at 6/18 °C)”
e1“LNT reduced water uptake and relative water content (RWC) of plant tissues probably due to a decrease of hydraulic conductivity but not to an increase of transpiration”

Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Low night temperature did not increase transpiration of sweet pepper
- Intervention effect Low night temperature enhanced the accumulation of sucrose and starch in sweet pepper leaves during the night
- Association Starch accumulation did not affect photosynthesis in sweet pepper, due to feedback inhibition
- Intervention effect Photo-inhibition was observed in sweet pepper after 7 cold nights
- Intervention effect CO2 uptake of sweet pepper was not affected after 7 cold nights
- Intervention effect Total dry weight production of sweet pepper was not affected after 7 cold nights
- Intervention effect Low night temperature decreased specific leaf area of sweet pepper
- Intervention effect Low night temperature led to shorter sweet pepper plants
- Intervention effect Low night temperature led to thicker sweet pepper leaves
- Intervention effect Low night temperature led to smaller sweet pepper leaves
- Mechanism Loss of turgor from reduced relative water content reduced stem elongation and leaf expansion in sweet pepper
- Mechanism The decrease of cell elongation in sweet pepper was due to reduced water uptake capacity
- Intervention effect Low night temperature did not stop the clock that regulates sweet pepper plant processes
