The predominant emphasis on harmful effects of environmental stresses on growth of woody
plants has obscured some very beneficial effects of such stresses. Slowly increasing …

The responses of photosynthetic gas exchange and Chi fluorescence to nitrogen nutrition
were studied under well-watered and drought conditions in winter wheat leaves. Nitrogen …

Chinese castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) cultivation has expanded in coastal saline
regions of Yancheng city in Jiangsu province of China (120° 13′ E, 33° 38′ N), where …

Salinity is a significant environmental factor affecting physiological processes in plants. This
study monitors the effect of salt stress induced by the NaCl solution (0–deionized water; 50 …

Three different drought stress levels (water potential of the nutrient solution, Ψs=− 0.6,− 1.2
and− 1.8 MPa, respectively), and a control treatment (Ψs=− 0.1 MPa), were applied during 2 …

叶绿素荧光分析技术是近年来在光合作用机理研究中发展起来的一种新型, 快速, 简便,
精确且整体无损伤检测植物光合作用生理状况的新技术. 叶绿素荧光信号包含了十分丰富的光合 …

The influence of water deprivation on potted apple trees (Malus domestica Borkh.) was
investigated. Biochemical responses including ascorbic acid, glutathione (GSH) …

We develop a novel data-driven robust model predictive control (DDRMPC) approach for
automatic control of irrigation systems. The fundamental idea is to integrate both mechanistic …

Rational irrigation scheduling based on sensing drought stress directly in plants is becoming
more important due to increasing worldwide scarcity of fresh water supplies. In order to …

Water for irrigation will likely be less available in apple-growing regions due to climate
change and competition with human needs other than agriculture. Apple cultivars and …
