| Abstract/Contents: | "The effects of decreasing water potential of the soil and plant on growth of Lolium perenne were studied. Leaf and root extension growth decreased by 50% when plant water potential decreased from -3 bar to -6 bar and growth stopped at -16 bar. Dry matter accumulation and leaf area also decreased because of slower expansion growth and senescence of the older leaves. Growth cannot be related to water potential with accuracy because of the rapid changes of soil- and plant-water potential but a small decrease in soil-water potential has a large effect on growth because of the more rapid decrease in plant water potential due to a large plant resistance. The importance of turgor in growth is considered. The causes of increased plant resistance and decreased growth are briefly discussed." |
