Agronomy, 2023 Grafting techniques have been intricately associated with the optimization of water use efficiency (WUE). In this study, various eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) rootstock–scion combinations were compared under three irrigation regimes (IR): 50% deficit ...

Water uptake by roots: effects of water deficit [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2000 The variable hydraulic conductivity of roots (Lp(r)) is explained in terms of a composite transport model. It is shown how the complex, composite anatomical structure of roots results in a composite transport of both water and solutes. In the model, the parallel apoplastic and cell-to-cell (symplastic and transcellular) pathways play an important role ...

Root development and the expression of aquaporin genes in rice seedlings under osmotic stress
Plant Production Science, 2016 We conducted hydroponic culture experiments to characterize root traits in a rice cultivar ‘Puluik Arang’ that has been identified in a previous study as a cultivar that is adaptable to unflooded conditions.

Water uptake by indoor surface films [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 AbstractIndoor surfaces provide a plentiful and varied substrate on which multiphase reactions can occur which can be important to the chemical makeup of the indoor environment. Here, we attempt to characterise real indoor surface films via water uptake behaviour and ionic composition.

A model for water uptake by plant roots [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2004 We present a model for water uptake by plant roots from unsaturated soil. The model includes the simultaneous flow of water inside the root network and in the soil. It is constructed by considering first the water uptake by a single root, and then using the parameterized results thereby obtained to build a model for water uptake by the developing root ...

Modelling Water and Nutrient Uptake
, 2000 Supplying plants with inorganic nutrients and water is a major function of roots (Nye and Tinker 1977; Nielsen 1983; Barber 1984; Jungk and Claassen 1989; Gahoonia and Nielsen 1991, 1992a,b). It is still a major challenge to agricultural research to quantitatively predict production of a crop as influenced by uptake of nutrients and water.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Enhanced nitrogen (N) and water uptake from deep soil layers may increase resource use efficiency while maintaining yield under stressed conditions. Winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) can develop deep roots and access deep-stored resources such as N

Membranes, 2021 The dependence of the bulk resistance of membranes of ionophore-based ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) on the composition of mixed electrolyte solutions, within the range of the Nernstian potentiometric response, is studied by chronopotentiometric and ...
