In this paper, some dehydration-induced responses at whole plant and cellular levels were evaluated in three Vigna genotypes from different origins. Changes in leaf stomatal conductance, membrane lipids composition and abscisic acid (ABA) content were determined under water stress. Membrane integrit...
