How does water move through plants to get to the top of tall trees? Here we describe the pathways and mechanisms driving water uptake and transport through plants, and causes of flow disruption.

A simple potometer is a piece of capillary tubing to which a plant has been connected. The water uptake is measured by recording the time taken for a bubble in the tube to move a set distance.

Soil properties like water content, pH ... This kind of symbiosis facilitates plant phosphorus uptake from the soil by increasing the root's absorptive surface area. Since plants take up ...

4. Plant water relations- Effects of various abiotic stresses on a) water potential, b) transpiration rate and c) stomatal density in bean plants. 5. Mineral nutrition - Effects of phosphorous ...
