Growth is a widely used term in plant science and ecology, but it can have different
meanings depending on the context and the spatiotemporal scale of analysis. At the …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are universal membrane integrated water channel proteins that
selectively and reversibly facilitate the movement of water, gases, metalloids, and other …

Despite the importance of understanding plant growth, the mechanisms underlying how
plant and fruit growth declines during drought remain poorly understood. Specifically, it …

Carbon and water are two main factors limiting leaf expansion. Restriction of leaf growth by
low availability of carbon or water is among the earliest visible effects of potassium (K) …

Remote-sensing using normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) has the potential of
rapidly detecting the effect of water stress on field crops. However, this detection has …

The dynamics of stem water storage can provide insight on a tree's capacity to face
imbalances between water supply and demand, and thus maintain hydraulic function and …

Premise of research. Across the leaf economics spectrum, leaves with higher specific leaf
area (SLA) have higher transpiration rates, so xylem water transport capacity should be …
