This topic focuses on transpiration, the process by which plants lose water vapor through their leaves. It also covers water use efficiency, which is the ratio of biomass produced to the amount of water transpired, highlighting strategies for improving water use efficiency in crops.
Transpiration & Water‑Use Efficiency (WUE) A concise, study‑ready guide 1. What is Transpiration? Aspect Details Definition The loss of water vapor from plant aerial parts, primarily through stomata on leaves. Purpose • Drives the upward movement of water (cohesion‑tension theory) • Cools the plant (evaporative cooling) • Supplies water to cells for metabolism and growth Main Pat...…
