Which consequence results when abscisic acid inhibits root endodermis aquaporins?

💡 Explanation

Reduced aquaporin functionality increases the resistance across the endodermis due to decreased water permeability. This reduces water flow directly into the xylem, because endodermal transport is inhibited thereby decreasing xylem loading, therefore limiting overall water delivery rather than increased root pressure.
