Water stress of sugarbeet as related to leaf and canopy temperatures and to leaf Water content

Whole - plant gas exchange , not individual - leaf measurements , accurately assesses azalea response to insecticides

A comparison of whole-plant and individual-leaf gas exchange measurements was undertaken among azaleas, Rhododendron spp., treated with insecticides used to control the azalea lace bug, Stephanitis pyrioides (Scott). Azaleas in individual-leaf trials received 3 insecticide treatments during three 21-day trials. The whole-plant study included 2 insecticide treatments and was conducted during a 2...

Effect of grafting on eggplant leaf gas exchanges under mediterranean greenhouse conditions

Grafting is an easier and faster approach than plant breeding to take advantage of both existing resistant plants, especially wild cultivars, and high-bred cultivars. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in leaf photosynthetic capacity of a hybrid eggplant Solanum melongena L., cv. Rima (R), widely used in Greece] when grafted on tomato rootstocks known for their resistance to n...

Scaling Up Stomatal Conductance from Leaf to Canopy Using a Dual-Leaf Model for Estimating Crop Evapotranspiration

The dual-source Shuttleworth-Wallace model has been widely used to estimate and partition crop evapotranspiration (λET). Canopy stomatal conductance (Gsc), an essential parameter of the model, is often calculated by scaling up leaf stomatal conductance, considering the canopy as one single leaf in a so-called "big-leaf" model. However, Gsc can be overestimated or underestimated depending on lea...
