Water stress responses of Saba senegalensis provenances during the seedling stage ; Respuestas al estrés hídrico de la Saba senegalensis durante la fase de plántula según su procedencia ; Réponses au stress hydrique de plantules de Saba senegalensis selon leurs provenances

Saba senegalensis is a multi-purpose liana from sub-Saharan Africa that is under threat from over-exploitation of its fruits and from land degradation and erratic rainfall affecting its regeneration. This research aims to assess survival, growth and dry matter distribution in the responses to water regimes of S. senegalensis seedlings of nine provenances from slightly, moderately and severely dry zones in Burkina Faso. The study parameters were provenance, water regimes and duration of drought stress. A total of 567 seedlings (63 per provenance) were grown using a factorial design. Five months... Mehr ...
