TL;DR: Aqueous solutions of SA, applied as a spray to the shoots of soybean ( Glycine max (L.) Merr. cv. Cajeme), significantly increased the growth of shoots and roots as measured after seven days of treatment as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The genetic basis for association between heat tolerance and CTD was established by demonstrating a correlation between the two traits in RILs (recombinant inbred lines), and data indicated CTD to be a powerful and robust selection criterion for heat tolerance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the net photosynthetic rate (An), stomatal conductance (gs), chlorophyll content and dark respiration rate on 16 wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.), grown in replicated yield trials in a warm, irrigated, and low relative humidity environment in central Mexico.

TL;DR: In this paper, a concentration response curve of stomatal closure of epidermal strips of Commelina communis L., to ASA is presented and it is found that ASA closes stomata at 10 -2 -10 -3 M concentrations and that this closure takes place within 13 minutes after the treatment has started.

TL;DR: Net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, intercellular CO2 concentration, and chlorophyll concentration estimate all correlated with yield of inbred lines, and An and gs measured on individual F5 plants correlated genetically and phenotypically with An, gs, and yield of the inbreeding lines deriving from the same plants, in both environments where yield was evaluated.
