Abstract
The determination of electrolyte leakage from the winter rape hypocotyls subjected to desiccation over CaCl2 under vacuum was found to be the proper and useful method for the estimation of the direct, water stress-induced injuries in the plant tissue. The described procedure of desiccation allows a differentiation between the tissue drought tolerance and the tissue ability to avoid water stress.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
