Experiment on Plant Tissues

Here is an experiment to demonstrate water potential of plant tissues. Theory: The chemical potential of water is referred to as water potential Ψ (psi) and is a property of great impor­tance to an understanding of water movement in the plant-soil-air system. Water potential (Ψ) is usually expressed in terms of pressure (e.g. bars). Absolute values of chemical potential of [...]
