- Observation Roots elongated faster in the Moroccan provenance than the French provenance during imposed water stress.
- Observation Applied water deficits did not inhibit root elongation in either population.
- Observation Root dry weight per unit root length increased as nutrient solution osmotic potential decreased in both provenances.
- Observation Total root dry weight increased as nutrient solution osmotic potential decreased in both provenances.
- Observation Root to shoot dry weight ratio increased as nutrient solution osmotic potential decreased in both provenances.
- Observation Root apex water potential decreased as solution osmotic potential decreased.
- Observation The water potential difference between roots and nutrient solution decreased as solution osmotic potential decreased.
- Observation Root turgor was unaffected by solution osmotic potential.
- Observation Osmotic adjustment was greater in the Moroccan than French provenance.
- Observation Under imposed water stress, the root to nutrient solution water potential difference was greater in the Moroccan than French provenance.
- Observation Seedlings grown in drying sand showed similar changes in plant water relations.
