Abstract:

<p> Almond water use was investigated at the leaf, plant and canopy level under a range of irrigation conditions in commercial orchards in California. Understanding plant response to water stress, specifically the behavior of plant transpiration and water use during periods of water stress, has important implications for irrigation scheduling in agriculture but also for water resources management and policy making. </p><p> Leaf gas exchange measurements of stomatal conductance and photosynthetic rate were performed at midday on shaded and on sunlit leaves, with midday stem water potential us

The effects of oxygen stress and water stress on cotton seed radicle growth was studied. High vigor Deltapine 90 seed were imbibed in individual test tubes at 28°C for 28 hours. Seed were then subjected for 2 hours at 28°C to either 1) oxygen stress imposed by N₂ gas, 2) water stress imposed by polyethylene glycol 6000 (0.8 gm mL water⁻¹), or 3) a combination of both 1) and 2). Following imposition of either oxygen stress or water stress, radicle growth stopped temporarily; growth resumed while either stress was still imposed but at a greatly reduced rate relative to the unstressed control.

Abiotic and biotic stresses affect tree growth and play a major role in determining the geographic distribution of species. The objective of this study is to elucidate the following questions: (1) are GABA aminoacid and stomatal control good indicators of tolerance to water stress in Eucalyptus clones? In addition, what are the anatomical differences between drought-tolerant and drought-sensitive clones of Eucalyptus?

Abstract:

Mestrado em Biologia Molecular e Celular<br>In Portugal, Eucalyptus, particularly Eucalyptus globulus, occupies more than 800 000 ha and, due to being a major source of biomass for fiberboard, industrial charcoal, fuel wood and paper pulp, has become a key genus, with a considerable economic importance. However, E. globulus productivity faces new pressures, with climate change-driven drought as one of the most hostile ones. Drought can lead to growth impairment and yield reduction: directly; or indirectly, through the increase of plant susceptibility to pathogens by a predisposition mechanism.

Detailed data were collected of CWSI and soil moisture content for several treatments that scheduled irrigations at threshold CWSI values.

Abstract:

A study was conducted in the field to test whether stomatal sensitivity to water stress can be used as a selection criterion for drought tolerance in two pearl millet genotypes. In both cultivars, stomatal aperture was significantly reduced by the water stress. However, the proportion of reduction per 20 mm decrease in applied water was much higher for the hybrid than for the female parent. This is clearly an indication of a higher stomatal sensitivity in the hybrid, which probably explains the superior performance under water stress that was previously observed in this genotype.

Abstract:

Due to rapid urbanisation, people in metropolises spend the majority of their time indoors. Indoor mould contamination, as one of the most pungent biohazards in built environments, can ubiquitously present in humid areas and potentially compromise the health of occupants. Governmental institutions like the World Health Organisation and United States Environmental Protection Agency have put forward guidelines for indoor mould prevention. However, these guidelines normally require occupants to maintain a low indoor humidity (<75% or even 40%), and thus, in tropical and subtropical areas, one of

Abstract:

Lint yield response to varied Management Allowed Depletion Levels (MADL), and consumptive water use rates were determined for four upland cotton varieties (D&PL 5415, D&PL NuCotn 33B, D&PL 5816, and STV 474) at the Maricopa Agricultural Center. Four irrigation treatments based on MADL of 35% (Very Wet), 50% (Wet), 75% (Medium) and 90% (Dry) of available moisture were used to schedule irrigations after May 16. The Very Wet and Wet treatments showed statistically similar yields which were much greater than the Medium and Dry treatments. Irrigation return intervals of six to ten days from early J

Irrigations were scheduled using the Crop Water Stress Index (CWSI) for timing and a neutron probe to determine soil moisture deficits. Irrigations were applied when the CWSI reached 0.1 resulting in minimal seasonal water stress. Yields ranged from 3.14 bales /acre to 2.73 bales/acre from 2 acre plots. Total applied water ranged from 31.3 inches to 32.3. Total se

Abstract:

Understanding the effects of water stress on wheat growth, yield and quality is essential for good irrigation management. In South Africa most of the wheat production areas are vulnerable to drought stress during crop development. That causes substantial reduction in grain yield, depending on the developmental stage at which water stress occurred. Supplemental irrigation is the main strategy for adaptation and stabilisation of yield under water stress. However, agriculture is the leading single water-use sector locally, consuming about 60% of total available water. Therefore, the need to impro
