Water relations of the photosynthetic tissue (chlorenchyma) and of the water-storage
parenchyma were studied for well watered and droughted Opuntia ficus-indica, a …

Under well-watered conditions, chlorenchyma acidity in cladodes of Opuntia ficus-indica
increased substantially at night, fully accounting for the 0.26-megapascal nocturnal increase …

Nocturnal acid accumulation, water content, osmotic pressure (π), and nonstructural
carbohydrates were determined in the chlorenchyma and the water‐storage parenchyma of …

Opuntia ficus-indica, a Crassulacean acid metabolism plant cultivated for its fruits and
cladodes, was used to examine chemical and physiological events accompanying low …

Background and Aims Hylocereus undatus, a hemiepiphytic cactus cultivated in 20 countries
for its fruit, has fleshy stems whose water storage is crucial for surviving drought. Inter-tissue …

Questions relating to transpired versus retained water for fruits, the xylem versus the phloem
as water supplier to the fruits, and the importance of fruit photosynthesis for fruit dry mass …

Water flow and water storage were investigated for Agave deserti, a desert succulent
showing crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM). The anatomy and water relations of the …

The relationships between the water status of plant organs and their physiological functions
are empirical. Measurements of the thermodynamic status of water in the tissues of …

Thickness, relative water content (RWC), osmotic pressure, water potential isotherms, and
mucopolysaccharide content were measured for the photosynthetic chlorenchyma and the …

Water-relation parameters of leaf mesophyll cells of the CAM plant Kalanchoë
daigremontiana have been determined directly in cells of tissue slices using the pressure …
