Creator:: Barlow, Edward William Ross
Abstract:: Laboratory experiments were used to investigate the mechanism of plant response to water stress by determining the sensitivity of leaf elongation, photosynthesis and transpiration in young corn plants to a decrease in leaf water potential. In initial experiments, 9 day old corn plants were grown at soil water potentials of...

Creator:: Biuk, Abdulmajid Ahmed
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: , the observed turgor maintenance could not overcome the drastic effects of water deficit on plant

Creator:: McCoy, Edward L.
Abstract:: The principles of continuum mechanics provide a consistent framework for the derivation of mathematical statements describing transport of water and solute, and growth in plant tissue. These derivations are based upon the explicit consideration of the tissue as a mathematical continuum composed of a cell wall matrix, water, and solute...

Creator:: Nagpal, Narender Kumar, 1942-
Abstract:: One of many important physical properties that must be known to understand transport phenomena in soils is pore size distribution. Presently the pore size distributions of soils are most commonly obtained from soil water characteristic curves. The soil water characteristic curves are usually obtained by the pressure plate technique. It...

Creator:: Kuo, Tsungmin
Abstract:: The effect of soil water suction and soil temperature on rates of transpiration, photosynthesis, respiration and nitrogen fixation of soybean (Glycine max. Merrill, var. Chippewa 64) seedlings was studied. A special apparatus was developed in which the soil water suction of several cells with soybeans growing in them could be...

Full Text:: . It is obvious that for such a plant, soil water availability, soil temperature and nodule rhyzobium

Creator:: Sanchez, Ramon M.
Abstract:: Rates of germination and emergence of corn were measured as influenced by soil physical parameters using blotter paper and a sandy loam soil as growth media. The corn seeds used were a hybrid of Funk's (DJ7xLH93). Experimental conditions were soil temperature of 20°C, 25°C, 30°C, and 35°C, soil water potential...
