plants directly into the atmosphere, a process referred to as transpiration. The amount of water lost via transpiration can be incredibly high; a single irrigated corn plant growing in Kansas can use 200 L of water during a typical summer, while some large rainforest trees can use nearl...
The prospect of future climate change has stimulated research into the physiological responses of plants to stress. Water is a key factor controlling the distribution and abundance of plants in nature and the efficient uptake and subsequent transport of water within the plant is critical in hot, dr...
The addition of sugars to terpene aglycones occurs later in the biosynthetic pathway, and it represents a mechanism to increase their stability, polarity, and water solubility, and to decrease their biological activity and toxicity [80,107]. In the next two paragraphs, we will describe the ...
The optimal water transport system in plants should maximize hydraulic conductance (which is proportional to photosynthesis1,2,3,4,5) for a given investment in transport tissue. To investigate how this optimum may be achieved, we have performed computer
The pattern of water transport in plants is an important part in ecology study and is the theoretical basis of water conservation of plants, which have gotten more attention worldwide. The paper reviews the past studies of the computer simulation of water transport in plants and discusses the si...
Most previous studies of water transport in crops have been based on simplified models of plant anatomy and canopy transpiration. Usually changes in the water potential of a particular leaf have been related to the water loss from the whole canopy. We present a more detailed analysis of plant ...
Measurements of contact angle, contact heat and water vapour adsorption properties of milled wood-lignins and lignins from the Organocell process permit the conclusion that the natural lignin of the vessel walls in the xylem of plants is unwettable. Microscopical investigations of wood samples of sev...
