Abstract
Transpiration rate, leaf area, the content of nitrogen and saccharides decreased with the decrease in soil moisture content from 90 % to 30 % of full field capacity. Stomatal frequency, fresh and dry matter and the chlorophyll and carotenoid contents of lupine or safflower remained more or less unaffected. After spraying with the antitranspirant (PMA) the saccharide contents were raised. As concern the lipids content and the contents of Ca, Mg and P, treated plants exhibited variable response to both drought stress and spraying with various PMA concentrations.
