3.3 Plant–water relations Plant–water relations are critical aspects of the biology of higher plants that have been widely studied in relation to drought and salinity (Lambers and Oliveira, 2019). Interestingly, there is comparatively little knowledge available on seagrasses, which is surprising cons...

During the 19th century, Germany was the major center for advances in all aspects of botany, not just crop production and nutrition. Major advances were also made in plant anatomy/morphology and many areas ofplant physiologysuch as water relations [Cittadino, 1990]. During this period, German ...
Different characterization techniques are used to evaluate the size, shape, crystal structure, elemental composition, and various other physical properties of nanoparticles. In some cases, more than one technique is used to assess some physical properties of nanoparticles. Different advantages and drawbacks...
AQP serves as a channel for transporting and maintaining cellular water, ion, and neutral solutes, which explains their vital role in regulating some physiological and metabolic processes, such as root/leaf hydraulic conductivity, cell osmoregulation, transpiration, stomatal closure, cell regeneration, an...
plants cannot obtain sufficient water to germinate or grow. Some desert plants growing in saline soils can accumulate salt concentrations of 20–50% dry weight in their leaves without damage, but salt concentrations of only 1–2% can damage the leaves of many species.SeePlant-water relations ...
The arrangement patterns of stomataon the leaf surface influence water loss and CO2uptake via transportation and diffusion between stomata, the sites of photosynthesis, and vasculature. However, the quantification of such patterns remains unclear. Based onthe distance between stomata, we developed three...
FC in the HAL-Ms was not achieved under any circumstances, while the PWP was slightly lower in some cases. However, the starting values of the soil water content were consistent within the LOESS or SAND treatment, with increasing differences over time due to the precipitation levels. Fig. 5...
This idea, sometimes called the soil–plant–atmosphere continuum (SPAC) (Philip, 1966), is useful in emphasizing the necessity of considering all aspects of water relations in studying the water balance of plants. This concept leads to treatment of water movement in the SPAC system as ana...
