Metabolic responses of mesophytes to plant water deficits

Journal Article · · Annu. Rev. Plant Physiol.; (United States)
The metabolic responses of mesophytic plant to dehydration are surveyed and discussed. Whole-plant water relations, variations in CO/sub 2/, water and solute traffic, photosynthesis, respiration, and nitrogen metabolism are discussed in relation to the experience of water deprivation. The adaptive significance of these metabolic responses is discussed.
