Inhibitory Effects of Water Deficit on Maize Leaf Elongation

Inhibitory effects of water deficit on maize leaf elongation.

The growth rate of maize leaves has been investigated for plants grown in pots in controlled conditions and subjected to slow drying over a period of days. The elongation of leaves experiencing water deficit was inhibited primaily during the afternoon. No decrease in the turgor of the growing cells could be detected at that time. Solute concentration in the growing cells increased in tissue exp...

Kinetics of maize leaf elongation IV. Effects of (+)- and (−)-abscisic acid

Introduction From genes to stomata, (+)-ABA plays an important Abscisic acid (ABA) is involved in many of the responses of plants to environmental stress. This role in stress physiology (Davies and Jones, 1991; Munns and Cramer, 1996). (+)-ABA concentrations usually study focuses on the inhibitory effect of ABA on leaf expansion. In addition, the effects of (+)-ABA, the increase when the plant ...
