TL;DR: Cotton plants subjected to a series of water deficits exhibited stress adaptation in the form of osmoregulation when plants were subjected toA subsequent drying cycle, and cells of adapted leaves appeared to have smaller vacuoles and greater nonosmotic cell volume than did control plants.

TL;DR: Stomatal sensitivity to (+/-)-ABA fed through the transpiration stream was enhanced in detached leaves of plants which had experienced repetitive water stresses, apparently the result of ABA synthesized during the stress periods since foliar applications of A BA sensitized stomata in an analogous manner.

TL;DR: The responses of in vitro cultured embryos to ABA is consistent with the normal pattern of ABA accumulation and disappearance that occurs during embryogenesis in situ and a close correlation exists between ABA levels and embryo growth rates in situ in three cultivars of soybeans.

TL;DR: High phosphorus increased leaf sucrose and glucose concentration in both acclimated and nonacclimated plants, but had little effect on osmotic adjustment or the relationship between turgor and water potential.

TL;DR: Diurnal changes in tissue water potential components, photosynthesis, and specific leaf carbohydrates were examined in water stress-adapted and nonadapted cotton plants, implicate starch in the regulation at cellular nonosmotic volume and, thus, osmotic adjustment.
