Phenotypic plasticity of stem water potential correlates with crop load in horticultural trees.
Tree physiology - 1 May 2011

Abstract excerpt
Conceptual models accounting for the influence of source:sink ratio on water relations of trees are theoretically relevant from a physiological perspective and practically important for irrigation scheduling. Midday stem water potential of horticultural trees often declines with increasing crop load but the actual response depends on environmental, management and plant factors. Here we advance a quantitative...
