Inter-cultivar variability in the functional and biomass response of garlic (Allium sativum L.) to water availability

Increased water scarcity can seriously threaten crop productivity worldwide. Therefore, the search for better adapted cultivars to water limitation is needed. Extensive sexual sterility of garlic limits traditional breeding programs and the study of physiological traits provides valuable information for crop selection to stressful conditions. Variability in the functional response of garlic to well-watered (WW) and water deficit (WD) conditions...
