   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guttation

   Guttation is the exudation of drops of xylem and phloem sap on the tips or edges of leaves of some vascular plants, such as grasses, and also a number of fungi.

3. Lotus effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_effect

   Some plants show contact angles up to 160° and are called ultrahydrophobic, meaning that only 2–3% of the surface of a droplet (of typical size) is in contact. Plants with a double structured surface like the lotus can reach a contact angle of 170°, whereby the droplet's contact area is only 0.6%. All this leads to a self-cleaning effect.

4. Wilting - Wikipedia

   The plants may recover during the night when evaporation is reduced as the stomata closes. [2] In woody plants, reduced water availability leads to cavitation of the xylem. Wilting occurs in plants such as balsam and holy basil，and other types of plants. Wilting is an effect of the plant growth-inhibiting hormone, abscisic acid.

9. 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.
