Scientists developing drought tolerant plants can use the knowledge of relative water content as models for predicting how these plants will respond to stress.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Relative water content (RWC) is a measure of the water status of plant tissues, reflecting how hydrated they are under various conditions. It is used as an indicator of plant water stress and can help in understanding and predicting how plants, including those genetically engineered or selected for drought tolerance, will respond to water scarcity. This makes RWC a valuable tool in the development of drought-tolerant plant varieties.
