Abstract:We evaluated the water status of peach, grape, Japanese pear, and satsuma mandarin trees using a 'water-stress indicator sheet'. This sheet indicates the water status of a sample by changing color (from blue to light pink); this is caused by a reaction between the sheet and water evaporating from the leaf onto which it is pressed. Decreases in the evaporation rates of grapes, peaches, and Japanese pear under water-stress conditions can be estimated using the time required for the indicator sheet to change colo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
