Root traits in Crambe abyssinica Hochst and Raphanus sativus L. plants are associated with differential tolerance to water deficit and post-stress recovery
Abstract:Background
Previous studies have shown that Crambe abyssinica and Raphanus sativus are physiologically tolerant to water deficits; however, there is a lack of information on the mechanisms responsible for their tolerance regarding root morphological characteristics. This study aimed to characterize morphological changes in the root system of C. abyssinica and R. sativus subjected water deficit, as well as to identify the responses that improve tolerance and post-stress recovery capacity of these plants.
