The effects of reduced annual rainfall over a 7-year period on the daily patterns of gas
exchange were analyzed for a wild platyopuntia (Opuntiarobusta) growing in rocky soil. In …

To determine how tissue water relations vary and contribute to turgor maintenance in
species from contrasting ecological zones, seedlings of jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) …

Root hydraulic conductivity (L p) and leaf osmotic potential at full turgor (Ψπ, o) were
measured in young, drought-stressed and nonstressed peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) …

Environmental stress induces modifications and adaptations, a marked characteristic of
epiphytic orchids. The presence of the pseudobulb is associated with carbohydrate reserve …

A link was sought between small water stresses and the larger metabolic changes that
accompany them. A simple infiltration weight method of measuring percentage intercellular …

The role physiological responses in survival of prolonged soil moisture deficit was
investigated in vegetative plants of two Dactylis glomerata populations: KM2 (drought …

Trees typically experience large diurnal depressions in water potential, which may impede
carbon export from leaves during the day because the xylem is the source of water for the …

The major soluble carbohydrate in shoots of the mosses Dicranum majus, Hookeria lucens,
Polytrichum commune, Racomitrium lanuginosum, Thuidium tamariscinum and Tortula …

The growth and development of the cotton plant is sharply curtailed during periods of limited
water supply. During such periods the plant wilts severely but it loses few leaves and again …

Responses of leaf growth and leaf water relations to seasonal drought were monitored
during two successive years in three cultivars (Galhosa, Espargal and Mulata) of Ceratonia …
