Water relations, stomatal conductance, and abscisic acid content of container-grown apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) plants in response to sorbitol-induced osmotic stress

Creator:

Guak, Sunghee

Abstract:

Sorbitol-induced osmotic stress (SIOS) to the root was found to be effective in reducing transpirational water loss in plants during water stress. Mechanisms of SIOS in stomatal control were investigated in containerized apples (Malus domestica Borkh. 'Gala'/M26) when leaf water potential (Ψw), osmotic potential (Ψs), turgor potential (Ψp), stomatal conductance...
