Water stress and water wars

Water stress of sugarbeet as related to leaf and canopy temperatures and to leaf Water content

Abscissic acid and water stress.

Discussion The evidence presented here and previously (Neill et al., 1982a,b) strongly suggests that 1 ‘-deoxyabscisic acid (111) is the immediate precursor of abscisic acid in C. rosicola. Feeding studies have shown that 2-cis-a-ionylidene ethanol (I) and 2-cis-a-ionylidene acetic acid (11) are converted in good yield into 111 and abscisic acid. Thus they can be utilized as biosynthetic precur...

Quantifying water stress in canola (Brassica napus L.) using crop water stress index

The relationship between canopy temperature and soil moisture is particularly important because of using canopy temperature as an indicator of crop water stress. A field experiment was conducted to calculate crop water stress index (CWSI) of two canola cultivars including RGS and Sarigol at College of Agriculture and Natural Resources of Darab, Shiraz University, Iran during 2013-2014 growing s...

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Microbial water stress.

A fellow of my acquaintance, on seeing a colleague drink undiluted water (55.5 molal), has been known to comment in disapproval that water at such a concentration should not be used for that purpose and that its main function is for putting around the outside of boats. He conceded that dilution with a little salt is acceptable for boats but for no other purpose. The proponent of this philosophy...
