Abstract
Water uptake into the ventral epidermis and the other tissues of T. virginiana leaves was recorded when the uptake rate was suddenly increased. Results indicated that there was considerable evaporation, or stomatal transpiration, from the epidermal tissues, and that the water relationships of the epidermis are more affected, at least in the short term, by changes in factors which affect the transpiration rate than are the water relationships of the other leaf tissues.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
