Water-stressed plants accumulate abnormally large amounts of free proline, a protein component. Blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis) was clipped and water-stressed to test whether the degree of proline accumulation might be related to regrowth potential of range grass. Clipping of plants before stress reduced the accumulation of proline in bases of stressed shoots but increased herbage production; clipping after stress speeded the decrease of accumulated proline in shoot bases.Type
