Key message Two months of drought or waterlogging conditions did not induce carbon
starvation in Castanea sativa. Carbohydrate dynamics in treated plants provide evidence of …

Pepper plants grown to uniform size in a controlled environment were subjected to an
osmotic stress for periods of 1 to 10 days. Polyethylene glycol 400 was used as the osmotic …

In order to address the question of how elevated CO 2 concentration (EC) will affect the
water relations and leaf anatomy of tropical species, plants of Jatropha gossypifolia L. and …

Tree species that close stomata early in response to drought are likely to suffer from an
imbalance between limited carbohydrate supply due to reduced photosynthesis and …

Recovery from desiccation by Tortula ruralis (Hedw.) Gaertn., Meyer and Scherb was
accompanied by an immediate, rapid increase in respiration (measured as oxygen uptake) …

Changes in sugar content during water stress and recovery were examined in leaves of two
varieties of durum wheat (Triticutn durum). The drought‐resistant Mohamed Ben Bachir …

summary Drought‐induced changes in hydraulic conductivity (Lp) and anatomy were
investigated for 1‐, 3‐and 12‐month‐old roots of Ferocactus acanthodes (Lem.) Britton & …

The capacity of apple (Malus pumila Mill. cv. James Grieve and Golden Delicious) pot‐and
orchard‐grown trees to adjust osmotically in response to drought was investigated. Stressed …

The concentrations of sugars, inorganic ions and amino acids were measured at apical and
basal leaf positions within both the new (expanding) leaf flush and previous (mature) flush of …

Relative water content R, water potential ψ and leaf diffusive conductance C 5 were
monitored while five tropical epiphytes were subjected to an extended period of drought …
