lecture 8 Flashcards
1
Q
osmotic adjustment
A
- maintains water absorption and cell turgor in drought conditions
- sustains higher photosynthetic rate and expansion under drought
2
Q
elastic adjustment
A
increased cell wall elasticity -> delaying the loss of turgor
3
Q
where are plant resources allocated during drought?
A
roots
4
Q
3 plant survival tactics
A
- stomatal closure
- limit of shoot growth
-energy to storage and biosynthesis of protective compounds
5
Q
3 plant growth tactics (under good conditions)
A
- reprogramming of energy metabolism
- osmotic adjustment
- maintained cell wall flexibility
