Water Content of Plant Tissues: So Simple That Almost Forgotten?
The aim of the present review was to reconsider basic information about various functional aspects related to plant water content and provide evidence that the usefulness of measuring absolute water content in plant sciences is undervalued.

Water status assessment in grapevines using plant electrophysiology
Traditional methods for assessing vine water status, such as the Scholander pressure chamber, are time-consuming, punctual and labour-intensive. The development of alternative methods which are accurate, reliable and can provide real-time information on

Moderate Water Stress Impact on Yield Components of Greenhouse Tomatoes in Relation to Plant Water Status. [PDF]
The scarcity of water resources affects tomato production. Deficit irrigation may optimize water management with only a low reduction in yield. Deficit irrigation scheduling based on applied water presented no clear conclusions.

Stem Diameter in Relation to Plant Water Status [PDF]
An instrument containing a linear variable differential transformer was constructed to obtain continuous, nondestructive measurements of both short term changes in stem diameter and long term growth. In cotton plants, stem diameter, leaf water potential, and leaf relative water content are all closely related to net radiation at the top of the canopy ...

Carotenoid Compounds in Grapes and Their Relationship to Plant Water Status [PDF]
The aim of this work was to study the relationship between carotenoid contents in grapevine berries and plant water status. For this purpose, a black grapevine variety, Vitis vinifera L. cv. Touriga Nacional, was studied. The experiments were carried out in the same Douro vineyards, with plants of the same age, in two different water retention soils. A
