  2. Transpiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transpiration

    Transpiration of water in xylem Stoma in a tomato leaf shown via colorized scanning electron microscope The clouds in this image of the Amazon Rainforest are a result of evapotranspiration. Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers.

  3. Evapotranspiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evapotranspiration

    Transpiration: the movement of water from root systems, through a plant, and exit into the air as water vapor. This exit occurs through stomata in the plant. Rate of transpiration can be influenced by factors including plant type, soil type, weather conditions and water content, and also cultivation practices. [ 6 ] :

  4. Plant physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_physiology

    Plant physiology is a subdiscipline of botany concerned with the functioning, or physiology, of plants. [1]A germination rate experiment. Plant physiologists study fundamental processes of plants, such as photosynthesis, respiration, plant nutrition, plant hormone functions, tropisms, nastic movements, photoperiodism, photomorphogenesis, circadian rhythms, environmental stress physiology, seed ...

  5. Photorespiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photorespiration

    This ability to avoid photorespiration makes these plants more hardy than other plants in dry and hot environments, wherein stomata are closed and internal carbon dioxide levels are low. Under these conditions, photorespiration does occur in C 4 plants, but at a much lower level compared with C 3 plants in the same conditions.

  6. Transpiration stream - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transpiration_stream

    Overview of transpiration. 1-Water is passively transported into the roots and then into the xylem. 2-The forces of cohesion and adhesion cause the water molecules to form a column in the xylem. 3- Water moves from the xylem into the mesophyll cells, evaporates from their surfaces and leaves the plant by diffusion through the stomata.

  7. Transpirational cooling (biological) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transpirational_cooling...

    Transpirational cooling is the cooling provided as plants transpire water. Excess heat generated from solar radiation is damaging to plant cells and thermal injury occurs during drought or when there is rapid transpiration which produces wilting. [1]

    Over 20 teams can claim they have a path to the College Football Playoff with two weeks to go in the regular season. The first season with the 12-team playoff hasn't lacked for drama.

  9. Photosynthesis system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthesis_System

    Since photosynthesis, transpiration and stomatal conductance are an integral part of basic plant physiology, estimates of these parameters can be used to investigate numerous aspects of plant biology. The plant-scientific community has generally accepted photosynthetic systems as reliable and accurate tools to assist research.
