A Report on the Problem of the Water Economy of Oat Plants and of Regulating Transpiration by Treatment with Varying Amounts of Nitrogen

  • Chapter
Water Stress in Plants

Abstract

The water economy of plants, and specially transpiration, have been the subject of numerous investigations. The results obtained by the use of nitrogen and its effect on transpiration are not uniform. It has been found that nitrogen both increases and decreases transpiration (Biebl 1955). The results obtained by studying the influence of the seasonal rhythm of oat plants treated with different concentrations of nutrient solutions of potassium (Arland 1959 and Zwicker 1959) were also of interest In relation to nitrogen. In view of the conflicting reports concerning the effect of nitrogen on transpiration a number of experiments were conducted in an attempt to determine the response and, if possible, elucidate the mechanism by which transpiration is regulated.
