Sentence examples for level of transpiration from inspiring English sources

In M. spinosum, the spiny leaf blades would have a low level of transpiration due to their thick cuticle, and would cast a moderate degree of shade over the lower leaves.

At 33 kPa total pressure, the stomatal conductance increases by a factor of three with the boundary layer conductance increasing by a factor of ∼1.7, since the leaf conductance is a function of both stomatal and the boundary layer conductance, the overall conductance will increase resulting in significantly higher levels of transpiration as the pressure drops.

Generally, reduced stomatal opening is observed when plants are subjected to elevated atmospheric CO2, leading to lower levels of transpiration, i.e. decreased latent heat flux.

Stand-level estimates of transpiration for these woodlands averaged 0.4 mm per day during the summer months.

This conclusion is consolidated by the fact that the size of esk1-5 ost1 double mutant is identical to esk1-5 (Figure 2A) and is, therefore, independent of the level of evapo-transpiration by the plant and only dependant on the amount of water in the plant.

This work involved investigation of plants at two levels: I) plant level for transpiration and growth performance and II) the leaf level for transpiration and net photosynthesis.

Thus, the reduced levels of evapo-transpiration observed in esk1 mutants were not due to permanently closed stomata.

Different levels of stomatal control of transpiration under drought stress are known to affect photosynthetic productivity and plant growth (Medrano et al. 2002; Xu and Zhou 2008).

Yet, keeping a suitable level of stomatal conductance and of transpiration is one of the trade-offs that ensure survival by allowing higher CO2 uptake, but also cause more salt uptake.

Mutants defective in β-carotene hydroxylase (BCH) in Arabidopsis thaliana (bch2) and Oryza sativa (dsm2) have weak control of transpiration and low levels of ABA (Kim et al. 2009; Du et al. 2010; Águila Ruiz-Sola and Rodríguez-Concepción 2012).

Juniperus species growing in dry parts of the USA have similarly resistant xylem and in these species it is thought that an extended period of water extraction from relatively dry soils allows trees to maintain subsistence levels of photosynthesis and transpiration as plant tissues desiccate to extreme water potentials (West et al. 2008).
