| Abstract/Contents: | "A temperature controlled hydroponic system has been developed for culture of turfgrass for physiological studies. The rate of water stress development is controlled using polyethylene glycol in nutrient solutions. A technique using a combination of pressure-volume and moisture release curves is used to evaluate turfgrass response to water stress. This study is concerned with the fundamental issue of identifying plant factors at the tissue or single plant level rather than those at a turfgrass populate or sward level. For example, is is concerned with stomatal control, cuticular resistance to water loss, and turgor maintenance by osmotic adjustment in response to drought; while shoot density, canopy resistance to water loss and rooting behavior represent plant factors at the sward level. Water use requirement of plants depends on transpiration rates. Although transpiration is the sum total of stomatal and non-stomatal water loss, stomatal closure is generally recognized as the main cause of transpiration decline as water stress develops. Control of stomatal aperature, therefore, is a very important factor in a plant's ability to survive periods of limited moisture." |
