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

A novel, non-invasive, online-monitoring, versatile and easy plant-based probe for measuring leaf water status [PDF]
A high-precision pressure probe is described which allows non-invasive online-monitoring of the water relations of intact leaves. Real-time recording of the leaf water status occurred by data transfer to an Internet server.

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

Midday measurements of leaf water potential and stomatal conductance are highly correlated with daily water use of Thompson Seedless grapevines [PDF]
A study was conducted to determine the relationship between midday measurements of vine water status and daily water use of grapevines measured with a weighing lysimeter. Water applications to the vines were terminated on August 24th for 9 days and again

Strategies of two tropical woody species to tolerate salt stress
This study aimed to evaluate the leaf primary metabolism in two woody species, Sterculia foetida and Bombacopsis glabra. Both species have seeds rich in oil and they are largely found in regions with irregularities in water availability.

The Components of Leaf Water Potential II. Pressure Potential and Water Potential [PDF]
The relation between the relative water content (R) and the pressure potential can be expressed through the coefficient of enlargement (e). The assumption that e does not vary with R is for many leaves a useful first approximation even when R is so low that pressure potential is negative. e is estimated at between 7 and 84 bars for various leaf types.

Retrieval of Leaf Area Index (LAI) and Soil Water Content (WC) Using Hyperspectral Remote Sensing under Controlled Glass House Conditions for Spring Barley and Sugar Beet [PDF]
Leaf area index (LAI) and water content (WC) in the root zone are two major hydro-meteorological parameters that exhibit a dominant control on water, energy and carbon fluxes, and are therefore important for any regional eco-hydrological or ...
