Leaf hydration status under drought is predominantly linked to stomatal regulation and leaf roll but not osmotic adjustment in Canadian hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum) cultivars
G. Sharma, G. S. Brar, T. Knipfer
This study shows that Canadian hard red spring wheat cultivars maintain leaf hydration and yield through early leaf roll and rapid stomatal closure, not osmotic adjustment or isohydric behavior during drought.
