Abstract

This book is intended to provide an account of uptake, transport and loss of water by the benefit of students of botany, plant physiology, agriculture and horticulture. It begins by explaining the importance of water to plants and describing the efeects of its availability on plant structure. A non-mathematical treatment of the structure and properties of water and the physical phenomena underlying its movement leads on to an examination of the water relations of plant cells. The water potential terminology, advocated in the first edition of this book and now widely accepted by plant physiologists is used throughout. Methods employed in the measurement of the various components of water potential, including solute, pressure, and matric potentials are described and assessed. Other chapters are devoted to the regulation of the turgidity of guard cells, control of transpiration, and the movement of water through plants. Emphasis is placed on the functioning of a plant as an integrated whole in response to varying environmental conditions.

Abstract

The first edition of this book was the first to provide an integrated description of sap ascension from an anatomical and functional point of view. The second edition opens with the three-dimensional aspects of wood anatomy. The cohesion-tension theory and new evidence are introduced in response to recent controversies over the mechanism of sap ascent in plants. The physiology, anatomy and biophysics of xylem dysfunction are discussed and new insights into hydraulic architecture are reviewed with special emphasis on physiological limits on maximum transpiration and how hydraulic architecture limits gas exchange, carbon gain and growth of plants. The text concludes with a description of xylem failure and pathology. The book highlights fascinating areas of current research with the aim to stimulate more work in the future.
