Abstract:
... Cuticular waxes play an important role in plant survival in terrestrial environments. They are part of the cuticle and form a hydrophobic barrier associated with a decline in water loss through cuticular transpiration. Data on the chemical and morphological composition of cuticular waxes in Sapindales have been collected for more than 5th years. The present review compiles the data published for t ...

Abstract:
... Precision irrigation is an important component of the water-saving approaches in agriculture and is one of the methods for increasing water-saving efficiency. Detecting water stress in crops accurately is the basis of precision irrigation techniques. In this study, the crop water stress monitoring system was developed to detect the acoustic emission (AE) of plants, associating the three factors of ...
transpiration, etc ; Chlorophytum comosum; air; experimental design; house plants; statistical analysis; Indonesia; Show all 7 Subjects
Abstract:
... Ornamental plants give beauty to the surrounding environment. Fresh air is created around the plant. It is concerned with transpiration which relates to the distribution and extent of stomata. The study measured the distribution and extent of stomata in monocot plants used as houseplants. The experimental design used a complete randomized design (RAL) factorial with five replications. The main fac ...

Abstract:
... The unprecedented setbacks and environmental complications, faced by global agro-farming industry, have led to the advent of nanotechnology in agriculture, which has been recognized as a novel and innovative approach in development of sustainable farming practices. The agricultural regimen is the “head honcho” of the world, however presently certain approaches have been imposing grave danger to th ...
transpiration, etc ; Festuca arundinacea; biomass production; photosynthesis; phytoaccumulation; plant growth; tillering; water stress; Show all 8 Subjects
Abstract:
... Water deficit is a hazardous threat to phytoremediation, while the photosynthetic efficiency of plant leaves can rapidly recover after post-drought irrigation, thereby enhancing the root activity, transpiration rate, and metal accumulation capacity of plants. This study was designed to test whether the phytoextraction effect of drought-stressed Festuca arundinacea could recover to normal levels af ...
transpiration, etc ; climate change; corn; drought; photosynthesis; plant growth; silicon; soil; water stress; Show all 9 Subjects
Abstract:
... Silicon (Si) is a beneficial element for plants, the accumulation of which in plant cell walls prevents water loss through transpiration, which may represent an adaptive strategy for coping with drought stress. Future climate change scenarios predict that drought will become an increasingly important stress factor affecting crop productivity. This problem will be exacerbated by the tendency to irr ...
transpiration, etc ; case studies; evaporation; evapotranspiration; lysimeters; soil water; soybeans; stable isotopes; Austria; Show all 9 Subjects
Abstract:
... Stable isotope techniques can be used to investigate evapotranspiration and its partitioning into evaporation and transpiration. However, verification is often difficult due to missing information about actual evapotranspiration. Therefore, in this study a methodology tested for laboratory conditions was modified for field applications. Evapotranspiration, which was determined by weighing lysimete ...

transpiration, etc ; Saccharum; agronomy; carbon dioxide; chlorophyll; experimental design; photosynthesis; salinity; salt stress; sugarcane; Show all 10 Subjects
Abstract:
... Knowledge of the physiological mechanisms in saline environment may boost sugarcane breeding programmes targeting abiotic stresses. Our hypothesis is that the physiology of Saccharum genotypes responds differently under salt stress. Thus, the objective of the study was to evaluate the physiological performance of Saccharum complex genotypes grown under presence and absence of saline stress. The ex ...
transpiration, etc ; agronomy; chlorophyll; electron transfer; energy; exposure duration; gas exchange; glucose; lettuce; photosynthesis; Show all 10 Subjects
Abstract:
... Recent years have seen numerous studies into how applying pulsed high electric fields (PEF) to living organisms induces various stress reactions. Plants produce glucose through photosynthesis and use this as a source of energy for living, yet there are few studies on the photosynthetic response characteristics when PEF is applied to growing plants. In this study, the photosynthetic response when e ...

Abstract:
... KEY MESSAGE: We identified two poplar clones of the same species as highly comparable, yet clones of two further species of the same genus to be distinctly different regarding multiple morphological and ecophysiological traits. Leaf morphology, wax composition, and residual (cuticular) transpiration of four poplar clones (two clones of the hybrid species P. × canescens, P. trichocarpa, and P. euph ...
transpiration, etc ; basins; biomass; evaporation; evapotranspiration; grasslands; research; rhizosphere; soil depth; soil water; watersheds; Show all 11 Subjects
Abstract:
... Soil water is the dominant factor controlling evapotranspiration (ET) in arid and semi-arid regions. However, the widely used ET simulation models, such as the Shuttleworth-Wallace model (S–W model), are insufficient in simulating the direct influence of soil moisture (SM), especially in the root zone. Based on SM and ET field data, we found that the influence of SM on ET increased with soil depth ...

The study presents the morpho-physiological performance under induced drought condition and molecular marker based genetic variability amongst 13 rice varieties released for cultivation in Uttar Pradesh, India. An attempt was made to identify suitable genotypes for drought affected areas, based on their morpho-physiological characteristics and genetic diversity. The physiological parameters of pho ...

transpiration, etc ; flower morphology; flowering; flowers; gas exchange; phloem; spring; water content; woody plants; xylem; Show all 10 Subjects
Abstract:
... Many woody plants produce large floral displays early in the spring when xylem transport can be variable and often reduced. To determine whether stem hydraulics impact floral water use, we quantified floral transpiration and tested whether it was correlated with stem xylem conductivity in five temperate woody species that flower before producing leaves. We measured inflorescence gas exchange, exam ...

Abstract:
... Biodegradable film mulching (BFM) has been developed as an alternative to conventional plastic film mulching (PFM) to reduce residual plastic film in soil. However, there remains insufficient knowledge of the effect of the disintegrated area of biodegradable film on the crop coefficient (Kc), particularly for different colors of biodegradable film. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate t ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Leaf hairiness (pubescence) is an important plant phenotype which regulates leaf transpiration, affects sunlight penetration, and provides increased resistance or susceptibility against certain insects. Cotton accounts for 80% of global natural fibre production, and in this crop leaf hairiness also affects fibre yield and value. Currently, this key phenotype is measured visually which ...

Abstract:
... Glycophytic plants are susceptible to salinity and their growth is hampered in more than 40 mM of salt. Salinity not only affects crop yield but also limits available land for farming by decreasing its fertility. Presence of distinct traits in response to environmental conditions might result in evolutionary adaptations. A better understanding of salinity tolerance through a comprehensive study of ...

Abstract:
... A novel vacuum cooling system, which mainly consists of a 49-stage thermal transpiration based vacuum pump and a 100 L vacuum vessel, is proposed. The novel system can directly be driven by heat, while its structure and operation are similar to those of traditional mechanical vacuum systems. Then, a mathematic model is established to predict the performance of the novel system. The cooling capacit ...
