Relative Water Content (RWC) and leaf temperature of durum wheat plants subjected to drought, heat and to a combination of drought and heat stress
Genotype | Stress condition | RWC (%) | Leaf temperature (°C) |
---|---|---|---|
Ofanto | Control | 96.97 ± 1.47 | 21.62 ± 0.16 |
Drought stress | 94.04 ± 1.08 | 21.70 ± 0.07 | |
Heat stress | 85.96 ± 2.02 | 35.42 ± 0.65 | |
Combined stress | 59.34 ± 2.34 | 38.36 ± 0.98 | |
Cappelli | Control | 95.86 ± 1.06 | 22.50 ± 0.55 |
Drought stress | 88.68 ± 0.54 | 22.00 ± 0.10 | |
Heat stress | 82.88 ± 0.45 | 36.50 ± 0.50 | |
Combined stress | 38.53 ± 8.02 | 41.00 ± 0.20 |
RWC and temperature were determined on the leaf below flag leaf that was used for transcriptomic analysis.
