| Description | This work shows that hop cultivars may differ in some traits that underlie their different responses to low water availability in soil. Cultivars Premiant and Osvalds clone 31 differed namely in stomatal density per leaf area. Lower stomata density of cultivar Premiant most likely contributed to the lower rate of transpiration of these plants. Cultivar Premiant also responded more sensitive to the reduction in soil moisture by reduction in transpiration rate. More detailed analysis of significance of these differences for survival and productivity of hop plants under water shortage may help in selection and breeding of new cultivars for cultivation under conditions of dryer climate. |
