IEH is grateful to the UK Overseas Development Administration for financial support abstract: In field studies carried out at ICRISAT, India, in 1980 and 1982, stomatal closure at midday in water stressed plants of two genotypes (BJ104 and line 112) prior to flowering was associated with higher leaf ABA levels than those found in flowering plants. Differences in ABA levels between flowering and preflowering plants were small or absent in Serere 39 and B282, which had lower leaf water potentials when sampled than BJ104 and line 112 date: 1983 date_type: published publication: Annals of Botany volume: 52 number: 5 publisher: Oxford University Press pagerange: 641-648 refereed: TRUE issn: 0305-7364 official_url: http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/content/52/5/641.abstract related_url_url: http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_q=An+association+between+flowering+and+reduced+stomatal+sensitivity+to+water+stress+in+pearl+millet+%28Pennisetum+americanum+%28L.%29+Leeke%29.&num=10&btnG=Search+Scholar&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_occt=title&as_sautho related_url_type: author funders: UK Overseas Development Administration citation: Henson, I E and Mahalakshmi, V and Alagarswamy, G and Bidinger, F R (1983) An association between flowering and reduced stomatal sensitivity to water stress in pearl millet (Pennisetum americanum (L.)
