From: Exogenous melatonin alleviates PEG-induced short-term water deficiency in maize by increasing hydraulic conductance

Fig. 4

Effects of melatonin (MEL, 1 μM) application and water deficiency stress (PEG) on the whole-plant hydraulic conductance (Kplant) of maize seedlings in hydroponic culture. The Kplant was calculated by the whole-plant transpiration rate divided by the difference between soil and leaf water potential. Values are presented as the means ± SE (n = 8). Different letters indicate statistically significant differences at P < 0.05
