Risk-Management Strategies of Wild Barley Case Study
Courtesy of Plant-DiTech Ltd
Test the hypothesis that wild barley ecotypes that have evolved in unstable precipitation environments will display a wider range of patterns of transpiration regulation compared to ecotypes from less variable environments.
Details
Study Results:
Significant differences in transpiration, canopy stomatal conductance (Gsc) and plant weight (measured by Plantarray) were noticed between accessions.
Accessions from stable environments were found to take greater risks in their water-balance regulation than accessions from areas in which rainfall is less predictable. Notably, less risk-taking genotypes recovered more quickly than more risk-taking ones once irrigation was resumed.
