Abstract excerpt
When chilling-sensitive plants are chilled, root hydraulic conductance (L(o)) declines precipitously; L(o) also declines in chilling-tolerant plants, but it subsequently recovers, whereas in chilling-sensitive plants it does not. As a result, the chilling-sensitive plants dry out and may die. Using a chilling-sensitive and a chilling-tolerant maize genotype we investigated the effect of chilling on L(o), and its...
