Plants are frequently classified as isohydric or anisohydric in an attempt to portray their
water relations strategy or ecological niche. However, despite the popularity of the …

Water is critical for viticulture sustainability since grape production, quality and economic
viability are largely dependent on water availability. The total water consumption of …

Droughts are expected to become more frequent and more intense under climate change.
Plant mortality rates and biomass declines in response to drought depend on stomatal and …

This review considers stomatal conductance as an indicator of genotypic differences in the
growth response to water stress. The benefits of using stomatal conductance are compared …

Drought and salinity are the most significant abiotic stresses to limit the production of the
world's staple food crops. Knowledge about physiological traits, and new molecular tools to …

Serious water deficits are threatening agricultural sustainability in many regions of the South
Asia (SA). While the increase in crop production of irrigated rice–wheat system in SA has …

Soil drying and re-wetting (DRW) occurs at varying frequencies and intensities during crop
production, and is deliberately used in water-saving irrigation techniques that aim to …

Thermal imaging of crop canopies has been proposed more than a decade ago as a
sensitive methodology to determine the water status of different crops. This paper describes …

Stomatal responsiveness to evaporative demand (air vapour pressure deficit (VPD)) ranges
widely between species and cultivars, and mechanisms for stomatal control in response to …

Aims Three grapevine varieties original from different climates: Grenache, from
Mediterranean origin; Syrah, from mesic origin and Chardonnay, from the humid zone of …
