Water relations, stomatal conductance, and abscisic acid content of container-grown apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) plants in response to sorbitol-induced osmotic stress

Creator:

Guak, Sunghee

Abstract:

Sorbitol-induced osmotic stress (SIOS) to the root was found to be effective in reducing transpirational water loss in plants during water stress. Mechanisms of SIOS in stomatal control were investigated in containerized apples (Malus domestica Borkh. 'Gala'/M26) when leaf water potential (Ψw), osmotic potential (Ψs), turgor potential (Ψp), stomatal conductance...

Physiological and cultural conditions affecting postharvest handling of bare-root nursery plants

Creator:

Englert, John M.

Abstract:

Nursery plants are often harvested, stored, and shipped bare-root for easier and more economical handling. Some species of woody and herbaceous perennials are less tolerant of postharvest handling than others. Desiccation stress during the handling of bare-root plants has been identified as a major problem contributing to poor survival and...
