Potassium: A Vital Regulator of Plant Responses and Tolerance to Abiotic Stresses (2018, background): “Hibiscus rosa-sinensis Water deficit, 21 days 10 mM • Enhanced root dry matter • Increased root:shoot ratio [111]”
Role of Mineral Nutrition in Alleviation of Drought Stress in Plants (2011, unknown): “cells (Lindhauer, 1995) and regulates the stomatal functioning under water stress conditions (Kant & Kafkafi, 2002), It enhances photosynthetic rate, plant growth and yield under stress conditions (Egila et al., 2001).”
Drought stress influences leaf water content, photosynthesis, and water-use efficiency of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis at three potassium concentrations (2005, methodology): “We reported that during drought treatment, tissue K content within the sufficiency range (15–30 g kg; Mills and Jones 1996), increased growth, leaf K and micronutrient contents, as well as root survivability of Hibiscus plants (Egilla et al. 2001).”
Canopy vs. soil effects of shrubs facilitating tree seedlings in Mediterranean montane ecosystems (2005, background): “Potassium seems to increase plant resistance to drought, mainly due to osmotic adjustments and a reduction in transpiration rates, which in turn involves a higher water-use efficiency (Bradbury & Malcom 1977; van den Driessche 1991; Egilla et al. 2001).”
The Critical Role of Potassium in Plant Stress Response (2013, background): “Adequate amounts of K can enhance the total dry mass accumulation of crop plants under drought stress in comparison to lower K concentrations [28].”
