The precise management of water and fertilizer is necessary to maximize greenhouse
tomato production. Irrigation quantity and fertilizer application rate were experimentally …

Transpiration (T) is a fundamental process in understanding the ecophysiology of plants,
and it is the dominant component of evapotranspiration (ET) in the terrestrial water cycle …

BACKGROUND: Free amino acids in young tea shoots are important chemical constituents,
remarkably influencing the quality of green teas. Nutrient solution, soil pot and field …

Bud break pattern is a key determinant of tree architecture. The mechanisms leading to the
precedence of certain buds over the others are not yet fully explained, but the availability of …

Nitrogen (N) application affects the relationships between tomato transpiration (T), water use
efficiency (WUE) and soil water content (SWC), and is important for practical agricultural …

Ecological restoration of coal mine degraded soils across arid and semi-arid environments
worldwide remains particularly challenging. We used a combination of greenhouse and field …

Salinity, water scarcity, and nitrogen (N) deficiency are the main limiting factors for plant
production. However, over-irrigation and excessive N utilization can also limit the growth …

Nitrogen partially regulates stomatal conductance and crop transpiration. We conducted
greenhouse experiments into the effects of different nitrogen applications on the …

Global climate change is likely to change the timing, frequency and magnitude of
precipitation events, studying the response of sap flow (SF) of plants to rainfall events is thus …

Nitrogen is required for optimal plant growth, especially in young organs such as secondary
axes (axes II) after axillary bud outgrowth. Several studies have shown an increase of …
