Hydraulic conductance differences among sorghum genotypes to explain variation in restricted transpiration rates

Choudhary, S., & Sinclair, T. R. (2013, October 11). Functional Plant Biology.

By: S. Choudhary n & T. Sinclair n

author keywords: drought tolerance; soil water conservation; water use
topics (OpenAlex): Plant Water Relations and Carbon Dynamics; Soil and Unsaturated Flow; Plant responses to water stress
TL;DR: Traits identified in many sorghum lines that apparently make them adapted for dryland conditions are restricted transpiration rate both early in the soil drying cycle and under high atmospheric vapour pressure deficit, which is a result of differences in hydraulic conductance of the plants.
