Minimum soil volumetric water content (cm³ cm⁻³) of reciprocally grafted wild-type (WT) and flacca (flc) plants in the shoot misting experiment

Graft	Unmisted (UM)	Misted (M)	Number of days
			UM <M	UM=M	UM >M
WT/WT	0.30±0.01 c	0.31±0.00 b	4	10	1
WT/flc	0.32±0.02 b	0.32±0.01 b	2	11	2
flc/WT	0.31±0.01 bc	0.30±0.01 b	1	14	0
flc/flc	0.33±0.01 a	0.33±0.02 a	2	13	0

Field capacity was 0.43 cm³ cm⁻³. Mean soil water content for each graft combination was calculated daily, and data comprise means ±SE of 15 d of measurements. Values followed by different letters within a column are significantly different at the 0.05 level according to Tukey's HSD test. The number of days for which the water content of pots grown under shoot misting exceeded (UM <M), were equivalent to (UM=M), or were less than (UM >M) unmisted pots, for each graft combination, is also given.
