GrapevineXL: a model coupling plant water transport and leaf gas exchange
Quantifying the response of plant water status to environmental conditions and its effect on carbon acquisition are essential for simulating plant growth and fruit composition, especially in the context of climate...
Developmental changes in root hydraulics (Research in Context)
A study of barley plants during the early stages of vegetative development (9–28 d old) to determine by what means root water uptake is increased.
Chromosome region for high hydraulic conductance in rice
Chromosome region for high hydraulic conductance in rice The rate of photosynthesis in paddy rice, Oryza sativa, often decreases around noon on sunny days because of water stress even under submerged conditions. Adachi...
