Water relations of plants in the field: some comments on the measurement of selected parameters
نویسنده
چکیده
Methods for the analysis of water status and transport in the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum are briefly enumerated, with some personal comments on their reliability when used on plants growing in the field. These methods have provided us with a coherent system of data essentially free from major contradictions to the cohesion theory of water transport. It is shown that recent attempts at replacing the xylem tensions postulated by this theory with hypothetical osmotic transport mechanisms in order to accommodate data from the xylem pressure probe are not consistent with the bulk of results and furthermore are implausible in view of the energetic expenditure required.

Effect of Magnetic Salinated Water on some Morphological and Biochemical Characteristics of Artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) Leaves
Plants for optimal growth requires absorb water and nutrients absorption from the soil. Magnetic Water downward movement of minerals and makes it easy for plants to absorb nutrients and water. This study was designed to investigate the effect of magnetic salt water on some quantity and quality characteristics of artichoke leaves. The experiment was factorial based on completely randomized desig...
متن کاملMeasurement of Vertical Water Percolation Through Different Soil Textures of Paddy Field During Rice Growth Season
The water percolation loss beyond root zone in the soil is one of the important parameters to determine water requirement of rice plant. If the amount of water percolation rate into the soil is estimated more carefully, determination of water requirement will be evaluated better and designing for system of irrigation, drainage and related establishments will be more easily done. The purpose of ...

This research has attempted to measure the parameters of barchan dunes as one of the desert landforms. This has been conducted by a field survey using cartographic techniques. In the field, two barchan dunes have completely been surveyed by total station equipment. Using the sample points a novel method has been devised to measure the barchans parameters. The method is mainly based on geom...
متن کاملThe comparison of growth parameter and pigments content of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) plants inoculated with various Kerman indigenous rhizobacteria
Nitrogen deficit is one of the most limiting nutrients for plant production. Therefore, identifying diazotrophic indigenous inoculants to promote nitrogen fixation have a great importance in agriculture. In the current study, a number of rhizobacteria isolated from nodules of different legumes cultured in Kerman (IRAN) province. Isolates were screened for their ability to grow on N-free media. ...
