Growth responses of spring barley to varying levels of drought priming
The findings delineate a dynamic recovery response under intermittent drought from a conservative, high-cost strategy under persistent drought. They suggest that applying more severe cyclic drought early (ID2, S1-S4) followed by milder cyclic stress later (ID1, S5-S6) optimizes stomatal function and productivity, enhancing resource-use efficiency under water limitation.
