Abstract
Continuous measurements were made on an intact twig or leaf under controlled light and temperature. Transpiration increased smoothly to a new constant rate during illumination and decreased smoothly upon darkening. When a twig or petiole was cut in air, transpiration surged and declined. When the cut was made under water, transpiration usually slowed to a new constant rate and surged briefly when the cut was later exposed to air.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
