Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Shoot growth declined in proportion to water deficit.
- Intervention effect Taproot soluble sugar increased under water deficit.
- Observation After 35 days, taproot protein and amino acid concentrations were similar across watered treatments.
- Intervention effect Water deficit increased the relative concentration of low and middle molecular weight taproot VSP.
- Intervention effect Water deficit reduced the number and mass of green crown buds.
- Observation Both cultivars responded similarly to water deficit for taproot constituents and crown bud development.
