Some responses of the root and the shoot of Vida faba plants to water stress.

Abstract

V. faba plants were grown at 15 degrees or 25 degrees C in alternating wet and dry periods. Drying of the soil promoted deeper root growth. Total root weight was not affected. Shoots grew less with a dry treatment in both the vegetative and the flowering phase.-A.G.G.H. (Abstract retrieved from CAB Abstracts by CABI’s permission)
