| Abstract: | Application of CCC to wheat and maize reduced transpirationin both soil and solution cultures. This reduction in transpirationwas a result of CCC reducing leaf area and increasing the root/shootratio. CCC-treated plants did not show an increased toleranceto internal water deficits induced by osmotic shocks or desiccation.CCC did increase the drought resistance of young wheat and maizeplants, but only by delaying the onset of severe internal waterdeficits, i.e. by drought avoidance. |
