“…Re-watering often (partially) reversed the changes of many metabolites induced by drought stress. However, notable differences were found between species (Liang et al 2023;Shen et al 2022;Warren et al 2012). For instance, in some Eucalyptus species, further increases of some metabolites such as fructose, glucose and proto-quercitol decrease osmotic potential during re-watering, which are considered as helping plants cope with future water stress (Warren et al 2012).…”
