“…Leaf water potential is a measure of water energy inside the plant (Negrão et al, 2017). It can be used to evaluate the water status of plants (Oliveira et al, 2016), as a parameter for selection of cultivars (Nichols et al, 2015;Zegaoui et al, 2017), and as a tool to monitor plants under abiotic stresses (water and salt) in areas with a potentially stressful environment for plants (Medrano et al, 2015).…”
