Increased contribution of wheat nocturnal transpiration to daily water use under drought.

Abstract excerpt

Increasing evidence suggests that in crops, nocturnal water use could represent 30% of daytime water consumption, particularly in semi-arid and arid areas. This raises the questions of whether nocturnal transpiration rates (TRN ) are (1) less influenced by drought than daytime TR (TRD ), (2) increased by higher nocturnal vapor pressure deficit (VPDN ), which prevails in such environments and (3) involved in crop...
