Leaf water potential measurements using the pressure chamber: Synthetic testing of assumptions towards best practices for precision and accuracy. [PDF]
Leaf water potential (ψ leaf), typically measured using the pressure chamber, is the most important metric of plant water status, providing high theoretical value and information content for multiple applications in quantifying critical physiological ...

Prediction of leaf water potential and relative water content using terahertz radiation spectroscopy. [PDF]
Increases in the frequency and severity of droughts across many regions worldwide necessitate an improved capacity to determine the water status of plants at organ, whole plant, canopy, and regional scales.

Should we delay leaf water potential measurements after excision? Dehydration or equilibration? [PDF]
Background Accurate leaf water potential (Ψw) determination is crucial in studying plant responses to water deficit. After excision, water potential decreases, even under low evaporative demand conditions, which has been recently attributed to the ...

For grasses and other crops in general, soil water potential has been widely studied to determine if there is a deficit or excess of water content in the soil. However, the plant water absorption process is not only modulated by soil water potential but

Response of Leaf Water Potential, Stomatal Resistance, and Leaf Rolling to Water Stress [PDF]
Numerous studies have associated increased stomatal resistance with response to water deficit in cereals. However, consideration of change in leaf form seems to have been neglected. The response of adaxial and abaxial stomatal resistance and leaf rolling in rice to decreasing leaf water potential was investigated.

Physiological responses of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to deficit irrigation and sowing density [PDF]
To evaluate the effect of sowing density (300, 400, 500, 600 and 700 plants/m2) on the growth of wheat under deficit irrigation (100, 75 and 50% crop water requirement, I100, I75 and I50, respectively), an experiment was carried out during 2009 and 2010.
