  2. Moisture stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moisture_stress

    Moisture stress is a form of abiotic stress that occurs when the moisture of plant tissues is reduced to suboptimal levels. Water stress occurs in response to atmospheric and soil water availability when the transpiration rate exceeds the rate of water uptake by the roots and cells lose turgor pressure .

  3. Eigenstrain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eigenstrain

    These may be driven by changes in temperature, moisture content, piezoelectric effects, or phase transformations. Particular solutions and approximations to the stress fields taking into account the periodic or statistical character of the composite material's eigenstrain have been developed. [2]

  4. Plant stress measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_stress_measurement

    Plant stress research looks at the response of plants to limitations and excesses of the main abiotic factors (light, temperature, water and nutrients), and of other stress factors that are important in particular situations (e.g. pests, pathogens, or pollutants). Plant stress measurement usually focuses on taking measurements from living plants.

  5. Breeding for drought stress tolerance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breeding_for_drought...

    If plants do not receive adequate rainfall or irrigation, the resulting dehydration stress can reduce growth more than all other environmental stresses combined. Drought can be defined as the absence of rainfall or irrigation for a period of time sufficient to deplete soil moisture and cause dehydration in plant tissues. Dehydration stress ...

  6. Moisture vapor transmission rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moisture_vapor...

    Moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR), also water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), is a measure of the passage of water vapor through a substance. It is a measure of the permeability for vapor barriers. There are many industries where moisture control is critical.
