environments through hydraulic related trade-offs in Atriplex
canescens (Chenopodiaceae)
Hao, Guang-You; Lucero, Mary E.; Sanderson, Stewart C.; Zacharias, Elizabeth H.; Holbrook, N. Michele. 2013. Polyploidy enhances the occupation of heterogeneous environments through hydraulic related trade-offs in Atriplex canescens (Chenopodiaceae). New Phytologist. 197: 970-978.
doi: 10.1111/nph.12051
Plant hydraulic characteristics were studied in diploid, tetraploid and hexaploid cytotypes of Atriplex canescens (Chenopodiaceae) to investigate the potential physiological basis underlying the intraspecific habitat differentiation among plants of different ploidy levels.
