A potential role of flag leaf potassium in conferring tolerance to drought-induced leaf senescence in barley

A potential role of flag leaf potassium in conferring tolerance to drought-induced leaf senescence in barley

Terminal drought stress decreases crop yields by inducing abscisic acid (ABA) and premature leaf senescence. As potassium (K) is known to interfere with ABA homeostasis we addressed the question whether there is genetic variability regarding the role of K nutrition in ABA homeostasis and drought tol...
