They may also play a role during imbibition by controlling water uptake.

The outer layer, the velamen, takes care of acquiring the nutrients and the water uptake.

The causes of water uptake are photosynthesis and transpiration.

By marking regular gradations on the tube, it is possible to measure water uptake.

The fungus blocks the conductive tissue of the plants and reduces water uptake.

This topic was directly related to his earlier research in the water uptake of plants.

Plants are known to thrive in an environment where there are few bacteria, plenty of food for energy, and water uptake is encouraged.

The exact relation between net water uptake and osmolality is not entirely clear from our findings.

Nutrient and water uptake is interrupted and this will cause the decline of the tree.

The resulting water uptake leads to cell death.
