Plant Water Relations

  • Chapter
Progress in Botany

Part of the book series: Progress in Botany ((BOTANY,volume 60))

Abstract

Since the last general overview on plant water relations in Prog Bot 56 (Losch 1995), another nearly 4000 publications on this topic have appeared. Only a small fraction of them can be mentioned in the following. The present report does not cover aspects of water relations of poikilohydric plants and of stomatal patchiness (Prog Bot 59: Hartung et al. 1997; Beyschlag and Eckstein 1997), habitat water relations, and aspects of water relations during germination and growth. A new textbook in German on plant-water relations gives a comprehensive overview of the whole topic (Losch 1998).
