This study investigates the patterns of changes in leaf water content of triticale (×Triticosecale) under moderate and drought conditions. The main objective was to determine the characteristics of plant water regime and the factors influencing it under different environmental conditions.
Experimental studies were conducted by growing triticale plants under two contrasting conditions: optimal moisture (moderate) and water deficit (drought). A comparative analysis of leaf water content was carried out.
The results showed that under drought conditions, the water content in leaves significantly decreased, leading to a reduction in physiological processes, particularly transpiration and water exchange intensity. In contrast, under moderate conditions, leaf water content remained relatively stable, ensuring normal plant growth and development.
