Transpiration can directly reflect the response of the crop growth and development, therefore irrigation design based on a transpiration model is an important factor towards establishing an efficient irrigation strategy. Thus, the purpose of this experiment is to develop and verify a tomato transpiration model by correcting the relationship between the transpiration rate and environmental factors by measuring the actual transpiration rate. The actual crop transpiration rate, which is measured using a load cell, and the weight changes calculated at 10-min intervals, are applied to the development of the transpiration model. The experimental results show that the transpiration rate has no linear relationship with the radiation amount (Rad) or vapor pressure deficit (VPD). The relationship between Rad and VPD with transpiration rate was fitted by the exponential rise to maximum, and gaussian peak curve, respectively. This allowed a transpiration model to be developed by compensating the Rad and VPD based on the existing Penman-Monteith (P-M) equation. The developed transpiration model showed higher regression constant values than the existing one. The developed transpiration model from the experiment can be utilized for precise irrigation control.

A common assumption of plant hydraulic physiology is that high hydraulic efficiency must come at the cost of hydraulic safety, generating a trade-off that raises doubts about the possibility of selecting both productive and drought-tolerant herbaceous crops. Wetland plants typically display high productivity, which requires high hydraulic efficiency to sustain transpiration rates coupled to CO uptake. Previous studies have suggested high vulnerability to xylem embolism of different wetland plants, in line with expected trade-offs.

Water use efficiency (WUE) is a tracer for plants on the trade-off exchange of water and carbon dioxide between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere; therefore, a dynamic investigation of WUE and its driving factors will be of great significance to optimize water and carbon fitness and predict the plants' response to climate change. In our study, a modified water use efficiency model was proposed to improve the quantification of carbon and water processes by adding a photosynthesis-g simulation dependent on CO concentration and soil moisture to the photosynthetic transpiration model (noted as SMPTSB model). Actual measured water use efficiencies were respectively obtained by the gas exchange measurements (WUE) and the δC that defined as the carbon-heavy isotope of the water-soluble compound in leaves (WUE) of three-year tree saplings of Platycladus orientalis (L.

Introduction: The identification of the physiological processes limiting carbon assimilation under water stress is crucial for improving model predictions and selecting drought-tolerant varieties. However, the influence of soil water availability on photosynthesis-limiting processes is still not fully understood. This study aimed to investigate the origins of photosynthesis limitations on potato () during a field drought experiment.

Background: Gossypium raimondii serves as a widely used genomic model cotton species. Its genetic influence to enhance fiber quality and ability to adapt to challenging environments both contribute to increasing cotton production. The formins are a large protein family that predominately consists of FH1 and FH2 domains.

Incorporating data-driven technologies into agriculture presents a promising approach to optimizing crop production, especially in regions dependent on irrigation, where escalating heat waves and droughts driven by climate change pose increasing challenges. Recent advancements in sensor technology have introduced diverse methods for assessing irrigation needs, including meteorological sensors for calculating reference evapotranspiration, belowground sensors for measuring plant available water, and plant sensors for direct water status measurements. Among these, infrared thermometry stands out as a non-destructive remote sensing method for monitoring transpiration, with significant potential for integration into drone- or satellite-based models.
