Sentence examples for maintaining leaf temperature from inspiring English sources

As the water freezes on the plant leaves, it loses heat that is absorbed by the plant leaves, maintaining leaf temperature at 32° F (0° C).

This cultivar is known to have high transpiration rates among common wine grape cultivars (Rogiers et al. 2009) and this cooling capacity can maintain leaf temperatures several degrees cooler than air temperature (Greer et al. 2010).

Leaf pubescence is reported to be an adaptation to sunnier and hotter environments by reducing transpiration, increasing the probability of water uptake by leaves, maintaining favourable leaf temperature, and protecting against UV-B radiation responsible for photosynthetic inhibition [47], [48].

Small leaf size (specifically narrow leaves) are generally favoured under high exposure and/or low water availability as they help to maintain favourable leaf temperature and improves water use efficiency [42], [44].

Moreover, the upward inclined leaf type also avoided high light stress and maintained leaf gas exchange traits under heat stress.

Moreover, this overexpression delays flowering and maintains leaf greenness.

Small pubescent leaves reduce water loss (lower surface area and fewer stomata) and maintain lower leaf temperatures due to reflection of radiation by leaf hairs.

This high capacity for canopy temperature depression is also evident where the two species grow in close proximity, with L. rigidus maintaining a lower leaf temperature (Fig. 4).

During measurements, relative humidity in leaf chamber was constantly maintained at 45% and leaf temperature was kept at 25 °C.

Leaf temperature was maintained at 30°C with an electric fan or a thermostatically controlled water bath during illumination.

All measurements were made before noon with cuvette conditions maintained at 350 ppm CO2, 60 80% RH and 25 30°C leaf temperature.
