Abstract:Polyploid trees are excellent candidates to reduce crop water footprint and mitigate the increasingly reduced availability of freshwater for irrigation in many regions of the world due to climate change. Yet, the relationships between aerial organ morpho-anatomy of woody polyploids with their functional hydraulics under water stress remain understudied. We evaluated growth-associated traits, aerial organ xylem anatomy, and physiological parameters of diploid, triploid, and tetraploid genotypes of the woody per… Show more
