Drought stress inhibited the growth of both genotypes but increased the root/shoot ratio more pronouncedly in M20 than in Y34. Under drought conditions, M20 maintained a higher leaf water status than Y34 due to its denser trichomes and more sensitive stomatal control, which minimized the ...
Additionally, for the disease severity trait, a fixed effect of leaf was also included, along with all resulting interactions with the previously described terms. Terms describing the structure of the experimental material (replicate blocks, pots, plants) were included as random effects in both ...
The growth parameters of pea grown under drought stress conditions were improved by spraying or watering plants with SiO2 NPs (12.5, 25, and 50 ppm). At drought stress, peas treated with SiO2 NPs (50 ppm) increased their relative water content by 29%, specific leaf area by 17%, and ...
