The increasing world population and expected climate scenarios impel the agricultural
sector towards a more efficient use of water. The scientific community is responding to that …

Compartment specific changes in ascorbate and glutathione contents were studied during
drought stress in Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0 and in ascorbate and glutathione deficient …

The accumulation of ultraviolet (UV)‐absorbing compounds (flavonoids and related
phenylpropanoids) and the resultant decrease in epidermal UV transmittance (TUV) are …

Climate change intensifies the impact of weeds, posing a significant threat to sustainable
crop production and food security on a global scale. Weeds are more adaptable and …

Effective study and management of crops and forests would benefit greatly from useful plant-
based indicators of the biological controls on evapotranspiration, and particularly stomatal …

Salinity is one of the main abiotic stresses, and the stomatal conductance (gs) is an
important physiological index in plants that is used to measure their responses to salt stress …

Background Upward water movement in plants via the xylem is generally attributed to the
cohesion–tension theory, as a response to transpiration. Under certain environmental …

Leaf turgor pressure is a relevant metric for determining plant water content. To diagnose an
apple tree water shortage, it is critical to precisely establish the features of leaf turgor …

We studied the effects of leaf wetting on midday depression of photosynthesis regarding
plant water balance and leaf morphological traits. The plants without leaf wetting showed a …

Plant water relations and their dependence on microclimate and soil moisture were studied
during 45 days in young olive trees cvs Chemlali and Chétoui subjected to a drying period …
