Question
How can plants be grown under limited water supply without compromising on metabolic activities?
✓

Answer

When a plant gets limited water supply, it brings some changes in physiology to conserve water. For example; in xerophytes water loss is prevented by preventing transpiration. Even in normal plants, leaves wilt during summer days in order to prevent excessive transpiration. Thus, plants have learnt to manage with limited supply of water and they can carry on other metabolic activities.
