Abstract excerpt
A high throughput drought screen is described for Arabidopsis that is based on a gravimetric method to monitor and control water content of the soil. To screen for plant growth under mild drought conditions, 30% of field capacity can be used, which is equal to 2 g H(2)O/g dry soil. The screen allows the testing of a large number of plants of different sizes to the same level of soil water. Therefore, response to...
