Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Many mechanisms respond simultaneously when plants are under drought stress. We examined physiological traits across six Zea mays genotypes varying in grain productivity under water limitation to identify plant strategies associated with greater productivity under limited water. METHODS: Data were collected on diurnal stomatal conductance (gs), maximum shoot hydraulic conductivity,...
