Document Summary
Plant height appears to be affected by the form of treatment each pot received. The amount of water the plants receive may be directly related to their height as the pots that received moderate amounts of water did not grow as tall as control #2. However, the height of the control #1 is not significantly greater than the height of the plants that received drought stress. Although water stress affects most of the functions of plant growth, the individual genotypes of plants may also affect the ability of the plant to grow. Substantial genotypic differences in a species are found in morphophysiological characteristics such as phenology, partitioning, photosynthetic parameters, and shoot growth (hide et al. This may also explain why treatment b plants grew taller than treatment a plants. The number of nodes on green bean plants do not appear to be affected by the level of drought stress they receive.
