OSMOTIC PRESSURE AND WATER CONTENT OF PRAIRIE PLANTS

Plant Physiology, 1935
Many conflicting ideas have been expressed concerning osmotic pressure in plant cells. The purposes of this investigation were to determine the range of osmotic pressure in prairie plants and to ascertain, if possible, any correlation between osmotic pressure and certain ecological factors. Since the osmotic pressure of a solution is dependent upon the

MRI in soils: determination of water concent changes due to root water uptake by means of a multi-slice-multi-echo sequence (MSME)

, 2010
Root water uptake by ricinus communis (castor bean) in fine sand was investigated using MRI with multiecho sampling. Before starting the experiments the plants germinated and grew for 3 weeks in a cylindrical container with a diameter of 9 cm ...

Using hyperspectral remote sensing data for retrieving canopy water content

, 2009
Canopy water content (CWC) is important for understanding functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. Spectral derivatives at the slopes of the 970 nm and 1200 nm water absorption features offer good potential as estimators for CWC.

Water-repellent soil and its relationship to granularity, surface roughness and hydrophobicity: a materials science view [PDF]

, 2005
Considerable soil water repellency has been observed at a wide range of locations worldwide. The soil exhibiting water repellency is found within the upper part of the soil profile.

Plant water uptake by hard red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes at 2°C and low light intensity

BMC Plant Biology, 2002
Background Hard red winter wheat (HRWW; Triticum aestivm L.) plants from genotypes selected in the Northern Great Plains of the U.S. have less tissue water after exposure to cool autumn temperatures than plants from the Southern Great Plains.

Plants accumulate abscisic acid after Ralstonia solanacearum infection for enhanced dehydration tolerance and plant resistance

Frontiers in Plant Science
Plants will display typical dehydration and wilting symptoms after Ralstonia solanacearum infection. Many studies have shown that abscisic acid (ABA) has been implicated in wilting, but the role of ABA after R.

Effects of drip irrigation system with variation of water source and volume in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.)

Ilmu Pertanian (Agricultural Science), 2021
Water plays the important roles for plants. Besides maintaining the cell turgidity, it also functions as a nutrients solvent for photosythesis process, which affects plant growth.

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...
