Fig. 6From: Monitoring of plant water uptake by measuring root dielectric properties on a fine timescale: diurnal changes and response to leaf excisiona Changes in relative root electrical capacitance (CR) during the first eight measurement hours for maize, cucumber and pea in the leaf excision (“LE”) experiment. Relative CR is the ratio of measured CR to the corresponding initial value (t = 0.5 h). b Linear relationships between capacitance loss (ΔCR) and transpiration loss (ΔT) for the three species. Regressions were significant at the p < 0.01 level. See the text for detailsBack to article page
