Isohydric stomatal behaviour alters fruit vascular flows and minimizes fruit size reductions in drought-stressed ‘Hass’ avocado (Persea americana Mill.)

Plant water status is important for fruit development, because many fleshy fruits contain large amounts of water. However, there is no information on vascular flows of Persea americana 'Hass' avocado. The aims of this research were to explore the impact of drought stress on the water relationships of the 'Hass' avocado plant and its fruit growth.
