Phenotypic plasticity in Cucurbita maxima and C. moschata seedlings as a measure of drought stress tolerance under pot screening Open
A pot screening approach was used to identify mannitol stress tolerance indicating traits that were reliable and easy to determine, in two Cucurbita species. A population of C. maxima seedlings with trimmed roots were exposed to 0–800 mM m…
