In this review, we address the relationship between stomatal behaviour, water potential
regulation and hydraulic transport in plants, focusing on the implications for the …

In the last decade, our understanding of the processes underlying plant response to drought,
at the molecular and whole-plant levels, has rapidly progressed. Here, we review that …

Climate change is expected to exacerbate drought for many plants, making drought
tolerance a key driver of species and ecosystem responses. Plant drought tolerance is …

The relationship between stomatal conductance (gs) and leaf water potential (Ψl) is key to
the understanding of plant function under changing climate. The variability among tree …

Water saving under drought stress is assured by stomatal closure driven by active (ABA-
mediated) and/or passive (hydraulic-mediated) mechanisms. There is currently no …

Stomata play a key role in plant adaptation to changing environmental conditions as they
control both water losses and CO2 uptake. Particularly, in the context of global change …

Leaf hydraulic supply is crucial to maintaining open stomata for CO2 capture and plant
growth. During drought-induced dehydration, the leaf hydraulic conductance (K leaf) …

We review the photosynthetic responses to drought in field‐grown grapevines and other
species. As in other plant species, the relationship between photosynthesis and leaf water …

Leaves are extraordinarily variable in form, longevity, venation architecture, and capacity for
photosynthetic gas exchange. Much of this diversity is linked with water transport capacity …

The question as to what triggers stomatal closure during leaf desiccation remains
controversial. This paper examines characteristics of the vascular and photosynthetic …
