Variable resistance to water transport in leaf tissue of kale

Abstract

The constant values of water potential gradient accompanying various levels of water flow rate were found in kale leaf tissue segments. This constancy might indicate the decrease of resistance to water flow as flow rate increased and this decrease of resistance was confirmed.
