TABLE 1.

Effects of DS on growth, yield and physiological traits of ramie crop.

Effects	References
Drought stress reduced the biomass production, plant height, growth rate, yield and activities of NR, and the activity of sucrose synthase	Longtao et al., 2016
Reduced activity of malondialdehyde	He et al., 2015
DS reduced the photosynthesis, relative water content (RWC), and increased activities of POD and proline contents	An et al., 2015b
Decrease in chlorophyll a and carotenoid contents	Liu et al., 2013a
10.15% reduction in chlorophyll and protein contents	Huang et al., 2012
Reduced plant height and antioxidants activity	Chen et al., 2012
Reduced fiber length, erectness, and leaf surface area	Liu et al., 2005
Reduced nutrients concentration, photosynthetic activity, and nitratase activity in leaves	Liu et al., 2000
