Influence of Peroxyacetyl Nitrate (PAN) on Water Stress in Bean Plants1

Year: 1981

Type: article

Abstract: Bean plants ( Phaseolus vulgaris L. cvs. Provider and Stringless Black Valentine) were exposed to 395 µg/m 3 (0.08 ppm) peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) for 0.5 hr and subjected to drought stress following exposure. PAN influenced the plant water potential of ΡAN-sensitive ‘Provider’ resulting in visible wilting and reduced soil moisture content. There was no effect of PAN on the water relations of the PAN-tolerant ‘Stringless Black Valentine’.
