How plants maintain their water potential lowered as compared to the water potential of soil solution around the roots.
In order to prevent to water loss form the root that could be possible through exosmosis when water potential of root cell gets higher as compared to soil solution, they produce various types of secondary metabolites which in turn lowers the potential and keep the water entry continued through endosmosis.
 
Research On RDI was shared with the Vivek college of Education on 21/5/2020. Various aspects of plant physiology and biochemical attributes were discussed with students through webinar.
Photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance were calculated under moderate, severe and regulated deficit irrigation in addition to adequate supply of water.

Marigold. Tagetes erecta and T. patula were the experimental plants.
GC-MS analysis was also  done to evaluate the effect of water stress on the production of secondary metabolites.
