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.

Acclimation of Photosynthesis to Low Leaf Water Potentials [PDF]
Photosynthesis is reduced at low leaf water potentials (Psi(l)) but repeated water deficits can decrease this reduction, resulting in photosynthetic acclimation. The contribution of the stomata and the chloroplasts to this acclimation is unknown. We evaluated stomatal and chloroplast contributions when soil-grown sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) plants

Leaf Water Potential of Differentially Salinized Plants [PDF]
Water and osmotic potential energies were measured with thermocouple psychrometers, at intervals during a 4-week period, in growing leaves of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris, var. Blue Lake) and barley (Hordeum vulgare, var. Liberty) plants having roots equally split between 2 differentially salinized nutrient solutions.

Influence of Temperature Gradients on Leaf Water Potential [PDF]
Water potential was monitored at nine locations along single maize (Zea mays L.) leaf blades with aluminum block in situ thermocouple hygrometers. Water potential showed a continuous decrease toward the tip, with a 2- to 4-bar difference between leaf base and tip under both moist and dry soil conditions.

Hydraulic trade-off and coordination strategies mediated by leaf functional traits of desert shrubs
Desert shrubs play important roles in desertification control and vegetation restoration, which are particularly affected by droughts caused by climate change. However, the hydraulic strategies associated with hydraulic functional traits of desert shrubs

Leaf water potential and leaf extension in a sudax crop [PDF]
Abstract Leaf water potentials were measured on leaves at three canopy heights in dryland and irrigated sudax plots. Leaf water potentials of basal tillers ranged from -2 to -5 bars and those of upper leaves on the main stem fell to -13 bars during the daytime. Mid-canopy leaf water potential ranged from -4 to -7 bars.

Hydrogen sulfide, potassium phosphite and zinc sulfate as alleviators of drought stress in sunflower plants [PDF]
Drought is the most harmful environmental factor crop productivity. Some chemicals are used in agriculture to mitigate the damage from this stress on plants. Therefore, we examined whether the spraying of zinc sulfate (ZS), potassium phosphite (KPhi) and

Comparisons of Leaf Water Potential and Xylem Water Potential in tomato Plants [PDF]
The rapidity and convenience of the pressure chamber technique for estimating leaf water potentials, especially under field conditions, has been remarked (Boyer 1967; Kaufmann 1968a, 1968b) and demonstrated (Klepper and Ceccato 1969). However, Kaufmann (1968a) showed that it is necessary to exercise caution .in using measurements made with the pressure
