Water Relations of Crocodiles

Nature, 1968
UNTIL recently, it was thought that reptiles possessed an impervious integument. This is now known not to be the case. Cutaneous water loss has been shown to represent two-thirds or more of the total transpiration from a wide variety of reptile species1. Experiments at Khartoum on young Nile crocodiles (Crocodilus niloticus L.) have recently shown that

Water Relations of Water Molds

Annual Review of Phytopathology, 1979
As a plant pathologist my definition of the water molds necessarily includes zoosporic fungi ranging all the way from truly aquatic, nonmycelial forms to completely terrestrial forms with well-developed mycelium (92). In other words, rather than confining the water molds to those Chytridiomycetes, Hypochytridiomycetes"and Oomycetes that occur in fresh ...

Water relations of winter wheat: 2. Soil water relations

The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1978
SummaryVolumetric soil water content and soil water potential were measured beneath a winter wheat crop during the 1975 growing season. Almost no rain fell between mid-May and mid-July and the soil dried continuously until the potential was less than – 20 bars to a depth of 80 cm. Evaporation was separated from drainage by denning an ‘effective rooting

Water relations in single cells

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1977
Abstract The intracellular water content is an important factor affecting the growth and survival of single cells of microorganisms under adverse environmental conditions. Certain types of bacteria, yeasts, filamentous fungi and algae are capable of growth in environments with water activities below 0.9 and even as low as 0.6, and are

Phyllotaxy and water relations in tobacco

Planta, 1973
The relative effectiveness of vascular connections between adjacent leaves of tobacco is demonstrated. It is shown that water movement between adjacent leaves is more difficult than between phyllotactically related leaves. Total and specific resistance ratios between adjacent and phyllotactically related leaves are calculated.

Water Relations

1996
Abstract In organisms in general, but particularly in plants, the movement of water is of special importance. Its movement by diffusion or bulk flow follows the same thermodynamic principles as the movement of other substances, but its prevalence in living systems has provided an impetus for special study and for a special set of terms ...

Water relations of fetal development

Medical Hypotheses, 1979
Normal pregnancy is accompanied by a remarkable increase in total body water, due partly to the growth and development of the conceptus and partly to water retention by the mother. An evaluation of the changes in body water during pregnancy suggests that they could very largely be brought about by the hydrostatic element of osmotic water regulation and

Terminology of Cell-Water Relations

Science, 1966
Use of the term "water potential" in place of "diffusion pressure deficit" would improve communication between botanists and scientists in other fields because the concept of potential is familiar to most scientists. Water potential, expressed as ψ w , is the difference in free energy or ...
