Plants gradually dehydrated to ca. 60% RWC displayed less cell death when rapidly dried. (A) Evans blue staining (a) Hydrated shoot without rapid dehydration, (b) 100–80 RWC after rapid dehydration, (c) 70–60 RWC after rapid dehydration, d) 30–20 RWC after rapid dehydration. (B) Cell viability graph. All data was recorded as means. p value < 0.05. RWC is Relative Water Content. Ca is approximately.
