Transpiration: Water Use Efficiency
2007The balance between carbon assimilation (net photosynthetic production) and the throughput of water by transpiration (resource use in terms of water) results in a benefit–cost ratio of interest to eco-physiologists and crop physiologists, known as water use efficiency.

QTL for Water Use Efficiency in Alfalfa
2010Alfalfa is the most important forage crop cultivated in semi-arid areas, both in rainfed and irrigated conditions. Water available for crops is a limited resource and improvement of water use efficiency (WUE) is an important goal for plant breeding. The objective of this study was to detect quantitative traits loci (QTL) for WUE in a mapping population

Irrigation and Water Use Efficiency
1976In the preceding decades knowledge regarding water supply, water uptake, transpiration, and plant growth has increased enormously. Various handbooks have been written on this subject from either a physical, ecophysiological, agronomic, or engineering point of view (Slatyer, 1967; Kozlowski, 1972; Kovda et al., 1973; Monteith, 1973). Moreover, field and

The loss of water vapour from aerial tissues of terrestrial plants as they assimilate CO 2 from the atmosphere for photosynthesis is biophysically unavoidable. Photosynthesis and transpiration co-vary with the aperture and density of stomatal pores, and are co-determined by the leaf area, which is involved in light capture and water loss.
