Abstract excerpt
Tetraploidization was induced in the drought-tolerant tomato landrace 'de Ramellet' to evaluate its physiological and anatomical response under well-watered (WW) and water-deficient (WD) conditions. Under WW, tetraploid plants exhibited approximately 40% lower stomatal density and approximately 80% larger stomata than diploids. Net photosynthetic rate (P N), intrinsic water-use efficiency, and intercellular CO2...
