Effects of paclobutrazol on the elasticity of saturated shoots from intermediately drought-tolerant white spruce seedlings 6 weeks after treatment

Treatment	Water Content		ε	J	G	E
	% SW	% TLV	MPa
Untreated	74.1a	66.0a	14.5b	3.3b	80.7b	440b
Paclobutrazol	66.4b	60.2b	19.7a	7.5a	106.5a	575a

Seedlings were saturated for 24 h before measurement of the water content of the SW and TLV of the shoots. ε, Cell-volumetric-elastic coefficient; J, elastic coefficient calculated per unit cell wall material; G, Shear modulus; E, Young's modulus. Means followed by different letters within columns are significantly different at P ≤ 0.05.
