Physiological studies of in vivo and in vitro water requirements and water relations of Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat
Abstract
dc:descriptionGreenhouse grown Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat. showed a significant reduction in plant water status under both sunny and cloudy conditions in response to depriving them of water. Water potential, osmotic potential, and pressure potential proved appropriate parameters for indicating plant water status. Diurnal changes in water status indicated more variable levels during the day than at night. The most stable and representative water status occurred just before sunrise. The pressure chamber and vapor pressure osmometer appeared to provide valid characterization of tissue water status. Measurements made on midage leaves appeared more representative and more consistent than those on young or older leaves.
