Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can affect the water balance of both amply watered
and droughted host plants. This review summarizes these effects and possible causal …

Plants are often subjected to periods of soil and atmospheric water deficit during their life
cycle. The frequency of such phenomena is likely to increase in the future even outside …

Stomatal control of species with contrasting stomatal behaviours have been investigated
under natural fluctuations of evaporative demand and soil water status. Sunflower and …

The stomata occupy a central position in the pathways for both the loss of water from plants
and the exchange of CO2. It is commonly assumed that they therefore provide the main short …

We describe here an integration of hydraulic and chemical signals which control stomatal
conductance of plants in drying soil, and suggest that such a system is more likely than …

Maintaining the most cost‐effective balance between vegetative and reproductive growth is
one of the most testing problems in modern viticulture. Grapevines which exhibit excessive …

Remobilization and transfer of the pre‐stored food in vegetative tissues to the grains in
monocarpic plants require the initiation of whole plant senescence. However, mechanisms …

The objectives of the study were to identify the relevant hydraulic parameters associated
with stomatal regulation during water stress and to test the hypothesis of a stomatal control …

Much comparative ecophysiological research has focused on contrasting species-specific
behavior or ecological strategies with regard to regulation of basic physiological processes …
