The remote sensing (RS) technique is less cost-and labour-intensive than ground-based
surveys for diverse applications in agriculture. Machine learning (ML), a branch of artificial …

Osmotic adjustment (OA), the accumulation of solutes in higher plant cells in response to
water deficits, was first reported more than four decades ago. Since then, variation in OA …

Plant functional traits are the features (morphological, physiological, phenological) that
represent ecological strategies and determine how plants respond to environmental factors …

Leaf water potential (ψleaf), typically measured using the pressure chamber, is the most
important metric of plant water status, providing high theoretical value and information …

Increasing frequency of extremely dry and hot summers in some regions emphasise the
need for silvicultural approaches to increase the drought tolerance of existing forests in the …

Remote sensing can provide a fast and reliable alternative for traditional in situ water status
measurement in vineyards. Several vegetation indices (VIs) derived from aerial multispectral …

Plant survival during drought requires adequate hydration in living tissues and carbohydrate
reserves for maintenance and recovery. We hypothesized that tree growth and hydraulic …

Background Carbon nanotubes have been shown to improve the germination and growth of
some plant species, extending the applicability of the emerging nano-biotechnology field to …

ABSTRACT A comparative study on stomatal control under water deficit was conducted on
grapevines of the cultivars Grenache, of Mediterranean origin, and Syrah of mesic origin …

Abstract Three-year-old (plug+ 2) containerized Fraser fir (Abies fraseri [Pursh] Poir.)
seedlings were treated to various irrigation and fertilization regimes in a greenhouse …
