Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Plants have evolved various root adaptive traits to enhance their ability to access soil water in stressful conditions. Although root mucilage has been suggested to facilitate root water uptake in drying soils, its impact during combined edaphic and atmospheric stress remains unknown. We hypothesized that mucilage decreases the saturated soil hydraulic conductivity, and consequently, a...
