In determining vase life (VL), it is often not considered that the measured VL in a particular
experiment may greatly depend on both the preharvest and evaluation environmental …

High relative air humidity (RH≥ 85%) is frequent in controlled environments, and not
uncommon in nature. In this review, we examine the high RH effects on plants with a special …

Levels of endogenous abscisic acid (ABA) are changed dynamically in response to
environmental conditions. The ABA 8′-hydroxylase is a key enzyme in ABA catabolism and …

To investigate the effects of water withholding on 17 tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)
landraces collected from different climatic zones of Iran and two commercial hybrids, the …

Water is one of the most important substances for both plant and animal survival. Plants
require water for photosynthesis, nutrient uptake and transportation as well as cooling …

Disentangling the relative impacts of precipitation reduction and vapour pressure deficit
(VPD) on plant water dynamics and determining whether acclimation may influence these …

ABSTRACT Plants developed under high (90%) relative air humidity (RH) have previously
been shown to have large, malfunctioning stomata, which results in high water loss during …

Future climate change is expected to increase temperature (T) and atmospheric vapour
pressure deficit (VPD) in many regions, but the effect of persistent warming on plant stomatal …

Stomata formed at high relative air humidity (RH) close less as leaf dries; an effect that
varies depending on the genotype. We here quantified the contribution of each stomatal …

Stomatal responses to closing stimuli are disturbed after long-term exposure of plants to low
vapour pressure deficit (VPD). The mechanism behind this disturbance is not fully …
