Differential drought tolerance among dichondra (Dichondra repens) genotypes in relation to alterations in chlorophyll metabolism, osmotic adjustment, and accumulation of organic metabolites.

Abstract excerpt

Dichondra (Dichondra repens) is an important ground cover plant for landscaping and establishment of green space, but adaptive mechanism of drought tolerance is not well understood in this species. This study was conducted to compare differential response to drought stress among three genotypes (Dr5, Duliujiang, and Dr29) based on integrated physiological, ultrastructural, and metabolic assays. Results showed...
