ABSORPTION  AND  TRANSPIRATION 


AS  AFFECTED 
BY 

TEMPERATURE  AND  HUMIDITY 

I 

Introduction. 

External  physical  factors  have  long  been  known  to 
affect  the  rate  of  water  loss  from  the  leaf  surface.  That  light 
influences  the  rate  of  transpiration  has  been  known  since  the 
time  of  Hales  (1738).  Hales  and  Guettard  (1748-49)  knew  that 
the  hygrometric  conditions  of  the  air  had  an  influence  on  tran- 
spiration. Mariotte  (1679),  and  likewise  Hales  (1726)  and 
Guettard  (1749)  knew  that  temperature  changes  influenced  the 
water  loss  through  evaporation.  Wiesner  (1887)  was  the  first 
definitely  to  point  out  that  air  in  motion  affects  the  rate  of 
transpiration.  Later  day  investigators  have  worked  with  all 
of  these  factors  with  more  or  less  success.  Practically  all 
of  the  work  is  open  to  the  objection  that  certain  factors 
either  have  been  neglected  or  not  at  all  controlled.  In  the 
few  cases  where  conditions  have  been  controlled,  the  results 
are  inconclusive  because  of  the  short  period  during  which  the 
plants  were  exposed  to  the  factors.  No  attempt  is  made  to 


2 


present  a complete  history  of  the  varying  and  conflicting  re- 
sults which  different  investigators  have  attained  in  their 
attempt  to  correlate  transpirat ion  with  physical  conditions. 
Essentially  all  of  this  history  is  given  in  the  monographs  of 
Kohl  (1886),  Kosaroff  (1897),  Eherdt  (1889,  1 95 ) , and  Burger- 
stein  (1904).  It  i3  of  interest,  in  this  connection,  to  note 
that  while  earlier  workers  recognized  the  importance  of  main- 
taining all  external  factors  constant  save  the  one  under  ex- 
perimentation, later  workers  have  well-nigh  neglected  so  im- 
portant a principle. 

If,  in  recent  years,  little  attention  has  been  paid 
to  the  control  of  conditions,  still  less  has  been  paid  to  the 
relation  between  the  absorption  of  water  and  transpiration. 
Sachs  (1859),  Kosaroff  (1897),  and  Molisch  (1897)  were  able  to 
produce  wilting  in  plants  by  subjecting  the  root  and  shoot  of 
the  plant  to  unlike  temperatures.  This  wilting  they  attributed 
to  the  excess  of  transpiration  over  absorption.  Kohl  and 
Eberdt  likewise  knew  that  by  raising  the  temperature  of  the 
root  the  rate  of  absorption  of  water  was  increased.  Kohl  also 
carried  on  a series  of  short  experiments  showing  the  relation 
between  absorption  and  transpiration.  Much  later,  Lloyd  (1908, 
*13)  showed  quantitatively  that  wilting  is  associated  with  a 
difference  between  absorption  and  transpiration;  but,  since 
he  worked  with  cut  branches,  his  results  are  not  of  great 
value,  for  Freeman  (1909)  has  shown  that  transpiration  from

cut  shoots  may  be  the  same  as  that  of  the  rooted  plant  or  may 
vary  as  high  as  27.3  percent  from  the  normal  transpiration, 
depending  upon  the  plant  species  and  rate  of  transpiration, 
while  Munscher  (1915)  has  shown  that  such  transpiration  may 
be  20  or  30  percent  less  than  the  amount  lost  by  the  same 
plant  when  rooted.  The  most  valuable  experiments  are  those 
of  Vesque  (l876-»78)  in  which  the  effects  of  the  temperature 
of  the  soil  upon  the  intake  of  water  is  noted  and  absorption 
is  directly  compared  to  transpiration.  In  his  experiments  he 
attempted  to  show  the  effect  of  varying  conditions  upon  these 
processes,  but  his  control  was  not  sufficiently  precise. 

Before  going  into  the  actual  experimental  phase  of 
the  subject,  it  seems  advisable  to  compare  the  curves  of  ab- 
sorption and  transpiration  obtained  from  plants  gro wn  under  the 
normal  conditions  of  the  growing  season. 

From  Plate  I it  may  be  seen  that  while  the  curves 
of  absorption  and  transpiration  take  the  same  general  course, 
their  maxima  are  at  different  points.  Absorption  is  consider- 
ably in  excess  of  transpiration  from  5:16  P,M,  upon  the  first 
day  until  6:16  A.M.  upon  the  second  day.  From  this  latter 
point  on,  however,  transpiration  rises  above  absorption.  At 
3:16  P.M.  of  the  second  day,  the  curve  of  transpiration  cuts 
across  that  of  absorption  and  from  that  time  until  5:30  A.M. 
of  the  third  day  absorption  is  in  excess  of  transpiration. 

At  5:30  A.M,  transpiration  again  rises  slightly  above 


i 

, 


4 


absorption,  falls  slightly  below  it  at  about  6:45  A.M.,  and  at 
8:16  A.M.  rises  abruptly  and  henceforth  transpiration  is 
greatly  in  excess  over  absorption.  The  curves  of  Plates  II 
and  III  show  the  same  thing  with  only  minor  variations. 

Similar  curves  may  be  seen  for  mays  on  Plates  IV  and  V.  In 
the  study  of  Plate  V,  it  should  be  noted  that  the  apices  of 
both  curves  are  much  lower  on  the  first  day  than  upon  the 
second,  and  this  is  to  be  attributed  to  the  cloudy  weather 
which  prevailed  upon  the  first  day. 

These  curves  are  presented  as  tj^pical  examples  of 
numerous  observations  made  during  the  summer  of  1915.  These 
curves  show  that  the  loss  of  water  is  greatest  in  the  morning 
and  begins  very  early.  Absorption,  on  the  other  hand,  exceeds 
transpiration  in  the  afternoon  and  the  plant  stores  water  dur- 
ing this  period.  The  amount  of  water  gained  in  the  afternoon 
may  exceed  that  which  is  retained  at  night,  a fact  which  does 
not  seem  to  have  been  generally  recognized.  It  is  noteworthy 
to  point  out  that  in  the  observations  the  plants  began  to  wilt 
slightly  at  about  9:30  A.M.  and  continued  until  the  greatest 
wilting  was  noticed  at  1:15  and  2:15  P.M.  Prom  2:30  on,  re- 
covery was  rapid.  This  corresponds  nicely  with  the  quantita- 
tive results  expressed  in  the  curves  of  Plates  I and  II.  In 
the  other  cases  conditions  were  not  extreme  enough  to  produce 
wilting.

Apparatus. 

The  apparatus  used  was  designed  for  the  purpose  of 
measuring  the  amount  of  water  taken  up  through  absorption  and 
that  given  off  through  transpiration  by  plants  grown  under  known 
and  constant  conditions  of  temperature,  light,  humidity,  and  air 
circulation.  The  apparatus  necessary  to  meet  these  conditions 
was,  (1)  plant  chambers,  (2)  electro-thermo  regulators  and 
heating  coils,  (3)  a gas  meter  together  with  a device  for 
mixing  water  vapor  and  dry  air  to  a known  humidity,  (4)  nitrogen 
filled  tungsten  lamps,  (5)  a potometer  for  measuring  water  ab- 
sorbed, and  (6)  scales  for  measuring  water  transpired. 

1.  Cases  (77  cm.  high  by  48  cm.  square)  with  glass 
sides  and  tops  were  used  as  experimental  chambers.  Access  was 
had  to  the  chambers  through  a hinged  glass  door  which  completely 
took  up  one  side.  These  chambers  could  be  darkened  by  specially 
provided  covers  suspended  from  the  top.  They  stood  upon  special 
bases  of  wood  (24  cm.  high  by  46.5  cm.  square)  provided  with  a 
small  hinged  door  opening  upon  the  front.  Thirteen  centimeters 
from  the  bottom  of  each  base  was  a glass  stage  with  ample  room 
left  at  back  and  front  for  the  circulation  of  air.  This  stage 
supported  the  scales,  evaporometer , and  other  apparatus.  Beneath 
it  were  the  electric  heating  elements. 

2.  The  heating  elements  consisted  of  nichrome  wire 


I

wound  upon  asbestos  board  and  connected  with  the  electric  circuit 
through  a thermo-regulator  capable  of  controlling  the  temperature 
within  five-tenths  of  a degree  centigrade.  Thermometers  were 
suspended  in  the  cases  to  test  the  temperature  regulation. 

3.  The  humidifying  device  consisted  of  two  large 
calcium  chloride  cylinders  furnished  with  water  and  fused  calcium 
chloride  respectively  and  connected  with  the  compressed  air  sup- 
ply. Rubber  tubes  leading  out  of  these  cylinders  were  joined 
together  by  means  of  a glass  WYH,  and  the  air  was  mixed  to  the 
desired  humidity  by  means  of  stop  cocks  in  each  arm  of  the  ”YM. 
The  resulting  mixture,  which  had  attained  the  same  temperature 
as  the  experimental  chamber  by  passing  through  the  cylinders, 
was  played  against  the  inside  top  of  the  case  in  the  exact 
center,  and  by  thus  displacing  the  air  already  contained  in  the 
case  maintained  a humidity  of  such  constancy  that  little  atten- 
tion was  demanded  of  the  operator.  This  introduction  of  air, 
creating  a slight  current,  gave  an  equal  distribution  to  the 
warm  air  arising  from  the  heating  coils  beneath  the  glass  stage. 
The  current  of  introduced  air  was  of  such  low  velocity  that  it 
could  not  be  detected  by  any  disturbance  to  the  leaf  surface. 
Three  hundred  and  twenty  liters  of  air  were  introduced  every 
hour.  This  was  measured  by  a meter  which  gave  readings  per  hour 
or  minute.  The  accuracy  of  the  humidity  control  was  judged  by 
hair  hygrometers  suspended  at  the  leaf  level  of  the  plants 
tested.  These  hygrometers  were  standardized  in  a saturated

chamber  and  then  re-set  to  coincide  with  the  readings  from  a 
psychrometer  at  each  and  every  humidity  used  for  a given  experi- 
ment. The  humidity  never  varied  more  than  one  percent  above  or 
below  that  required. 

4.  Light  was  kept  constant  by  means  of  five  hundred 
watt  nitrogen  filled  tungsten  lamps.  The  current  passing  through 
the  filaments  of  these  lamps  was  constant,  being  controlled  by 

an  automatic  volt  regulator  at  the  University  lighting  plant. 

The  lamps  were  placed  in  a horizontal  position  in  black  metal 
boxes  (29  cm.  deep,  26  cm.  wide,  and  26  cm.  high)  with  a hinged 
door  opening  at  the  front.  These  boxes  rested  upon  truncated 
pyramids  49  cm.  high,  which  in  turn  sat  upon  the  tops  of  the 
plant  chambers.  The  heat  generated  by  the  lamps  passed  off  in 
the  air  which  had  entrance  at  the  bases  of  the  pyramids  and  had 
exit  through  a four  inch  hole  in  the  top  of  each  metal  box.  The 
pyramids,  as  well  as  plant  chambers,  bases,  and  covers,  were 
painted  white,  inside  and  out.  The  distance  of  the  lamps  from 
the  leaf  surface  was  109  cm.  The  light  was  of  an  intensity  and 
quality  sufficient  for  the  normal  development  of  the  plants 
tested. 

5.  The  potometer  used  was  a modified  type  of  one 
devised  by  Professor  Hottes  and  used  for  years  by  him  in  his 
laboratory.  The  potometer  --  a modified  Mariotte  flask  --  con- 
sists of  an  inverted  burette  fitted  with  a stopper  bearing  two 
holes.  Through  one  of  these  holes  extends  one  end  of  a right-

angle  tube.  Through  the  other  extends  the  free  end  of  a tube  of 
small  bore  which  is  bent  back  upon  itself  in  such  a way  that  the 
opening  of  the  tube  on  the  inside  of  the  burette  is  directed 
downward.  This  tube  is  fitted  with  a stopcock  and  conducts  air 
only.  The  plants  are  grown  in  aspirating  bottles  with  the  tubu- 
lature  at  the  base.  To  set  up,  the  burette  is  filled  wi  th  water, 
the  stopper  with  the  cock  of  air  tube  closed  is  inserted,  the 
burette  is  inverted,  the  right-angle  tube  is  fitted  to  the  tubu- 
lature  of  the  aspirating  bottle,  the  aspirating  bottle  is  filled 
with  water,  then  the  air  tube  (this  tube  is  so  fitted  in  its 
hole  in  the  stopper  that  it  may  be  easily  moved  up  or  down  with 
little  friction)  is  adjusted  until  its  upper  opening  is  on  a 
level  with  the  water  in  the  neck  of  the  bottle,  finally  the  air 
cock  is  opened,  and  the  system  is  in  working  order.  As  the  plant 
uses  water  from  the  bottle,  the  level  falls  below  the  opening  of 
the  air  tube  and  the  pressure  in  the  two  systems  is  equalized  by 
air  entering  the  burette  through  the  air  tube.  The  advantage  of 
such  a potometer  is  that  large  or  small  quantities  of  water  may 
be  measured  without  sealing  the  absorbing  system  from  the  air 
and  without  injecting  water  into  the  plant  because  of  a water 
column  which  extends  above  the  root  or  cut  end  of  the  plant. 

In  other  words,  the  water  pressure  remains  constant  at  the  level 
of  the  absorbing  surface. 

6.  The  scales  employed  to  measure  the  water  of 
transpiration  were  equipped  with  jeweled  bearings  of  agate,  and

thus  error  arising  through  the  accumulation  of  rust  at  high 
relative  humidities  was  eliminated.  These  scales  were  found  to 
be  sensitive  to  one-thirtieth  of  a gram,  but  readings  were  only- 
taken  to  within  one-twentieth  of  a gram.  The  scales  rested  upon 
the  glass  stages  in  the  bases  of  the  experimental  chambers.  The 
potometer,  clamped  to  a ring  stand,  was  carried  upon  the  scales.

Methods. 

1.  Cultural  methods. 

The  variety  of  Phaseolus  vulgaris  known  as  "Extra 
Early  Valentine  Green  Bush  Beans",  supplied  by  J.  M,  Thorburn 
and  Company,  Hew  York,  was  used.  This  seed  had  a very  high 
percentage  of  germination  and  produced  vigorous  seedlings. 

In  culturing  the  plants,  the  seeds  were  soaked  for  twelve  hours 
in  water,  then  placed  between  filter  paper,  and,  when  the  radi- 
cles were  one  inch  long,  were  transferred  to  paraffined  wire 
screens  over  glass  aquaria  containing  tap  water.  When  the 
hypocotyl  was  about  two  inches  in  length,  plants  of  uniform 
size  and  vigor  of  growth  were  selected,  and  three  placed  in 
the  neck  of  each  aspirating  bottle.  These  bottles  had  a capa- 
city of  two  hundred  and  thirty-five  c.c.  and  were  covered  with 
black  paper  to  protect  the  root  system  against  light.  The 
plants  were  grown  in  these  bottles,  and  v/hen  ready  for  experi- 
mentation, the  potometer  was  attached  to  the  tubulature.  This 
eliminated  shock  or  injury  to  the  root  system  which  might  have 
been  caused  by  transferring  seedlings  at  the  beginning  of  an 
experiment.  Two  sets  of  plants  in  different  developmental 
phases  were  used.  One  set  had  completely  developed  two  simple 
leaves;  the  other  had  developed  in  addition  a complete  trifo- 
liate leaf.  All  the  cultural  work  was  carried  on  in  a well 


- 11  - 

lighted  greenhouse  with  temperature  automatically  controlled  at 
20°  centigrade,  and  with  a relative  humidity  which  seldom  varied 
outside  the  limits  of  fifty-five  and  sixty-five  percent. 

The  variety  of  mays  used  was  MReed*s  Yellow  Dent", 
grown  upon  the  agricultural  plots  of  the  University  of  Illinois 
and  selected  from  the  harvest  of  1914.  The  seed  showed  an  al- 
most perfect  percentage  of  germination  and  produced  uniform 
and  vigorous  plants.  The  same  general  methods  of  culture  as 
used  for  Phaseolus  apply  to  mays. 

In  growing  the  cultures  it  was  the  purpose  to  ob- 
tain normally  developed  plants.  For  this  reason  the  plants  were 
grown  in  the  water  from  the  wells  of  the  University  of  Illinois. 
The  water  is  in  effect  a nutrient  solution  in  itself.  Its  an- 
alysis in  milligrams  per  liter  is  as  follows;  - Minerals, 

KU03,  2.3;  KC1 , .8;  K2S04,  2.0;  K2C03,  6.4;  Na2C03,  81.7; 

(NH4)2  C03,  7.5;  MgC03,  105.3;  CaC03,  144.8;  FeC03,  4.4; 

Al203,  .6;  SiOg,  15.8;  Bases  3.4:  Total  375.0.  Albumenoids 

are  less  than  .1  mg.,  nitrites  less  than  .1  mg.,  and  free 
ammonia  about  2.4  mg.  per  liter.  Plants  grown  in  this  solution 
appeared  to  be  in  better  condition  than  those  cultured  in  nutri- 
ent solution,  and  it  was  very  easy  to  grow  green  beans  to  mar- 
ket size.  The  v/ater  used  by  the  plants  was  replaced  daily,  and 
a new  supply,  thoroughly  aerated,  was  given  every  other  day.

2,  Manipulations. 

Upon  beginning  an  experiment,  the  experimental 
chamber  was  brought  into  the  desired  temperature,  humidity, 
and  light  relations.  The  potometer  and  aspirating  bottles 
containing  the  plants  were  filled  with  water  of  the  same  tem- 
perature as  the  air  in  the  case  and  placed  upon  the  scales 
in  the  experimental  chamber.  Bach  case  contained  two  scales, 
and  usually  plants  in  the  developmental  phases  already  des- 
cribed were  simultaneously  treated.  Beginning  with  the  time 
when  the  plants  were  first  placed  in  the  chamber,  hourly 
readings  were  made  of  the  potometers  and  scales.  The  potometer 
was  read  through  the  glass  door,  and  the  weighings  were  made 
by  manipulating  the  rider  upon  the  scale  beam  by  means  of  a 
v/ ire  arm.  After  the  experiment  had  been  completed,  the  plants 
were  returned  to  their  original  environment  and  their  condi- 
tion noted  for  several  days.  Areas  of  the  leaves  were  com- 
puted by  means  of  a Caradi  Roller  Planimeter  from  tracings 
made  at  the  end  of  each  experiment. 

A standardized  porous  cup  evaporimeter , attached 
to  a potometer  of  the  style  devised  by  Professor  Hottes,  was 
placed  in  each  chamber  as  an  aid  in  the  control  of  factors 
affecting  transpiration. 

3.  Precautions. 

All  plants  were  grown  under  uniform  conditions 
previously  to  the  experimental  time,  as  it  was  found  that 


i

13 


experiments  were  not  comparable  unless  the  plants  were  grown 
under  identical  conditions.  Plants  were  shielded  from  direct 
sunlight  at  mid-day. 

All  plants  showing  injury  to  leaf  surface  or  root 
system  were  rejected. 

Since  variations  in  temperature  affect  the  gas  above 

the  water  in  the  potometer  tube  and  consequently  the  reading  of 

the  meniscus,  time  was  allowed  for  this  air  volume  to  reach  the 

# 

temperature  of  the  experimental  chamber  before  a reading  was 
taken.  A few  minutes  at  the  beginning  of  each  experiment  was 
found  sufficient.  If  measurements  were  made  under  fluctuating 
temperature  conditions,  corrections  were  made  in  the  potometer 
readings  to  allow  for  the  expansion  or  contraction  of  the  gas 
enclosed  in  the  burette.

Results  * 

Results  secured  from  the  experiments  are  presented 
under  two  heads,  namely,  -- 

1.  Results  secured  from  experiments  in  which  all 
conditions  were  constant  except  light. 

2.  Results  obtained  from  experiments  in  which  all 
factors  are  uniformly  maintained,  except  that  the  plants  were 
subjected  to  light  (intensity  constant)  and  darkness  period- 
ically. 

1.  Results  Secured  Prom  Experiments  in  Which  All  Conditions 

Were  Constant  Except  Light. 

A glance  at  Table  IX,  and  Plates  VI,  VII,  VIII,  and 
I7C  representing  Tables  VI  and  VII  shows  that  onlir  three  of  the 
cultures  exhibit  a curve  comparable  to  the  curve  obtained  from 
plants  grown  under  normal  growing  conditions  (Plates  I and  II), 
It  is  the  younger  developmental  phase  which  invariably  shows 
this  curve.  In  this  developmental  phase,  the  transpiration 
which  takes  place  at  night  is  only  a small  fraction  of  that 
which  takes  place  during  the  day.  In  this  respect  the  curve 
approaches  that  of  the  older  developmental  phase  grown  under 
normal  growing  conditions.  With  all  conditions  except  light 
controlled,  transpiration  in  plants  of  the  older  developmental

stage  seldom  falls  off  more  than  one-half  during  the  night.  On 
the  other  hand,  plants  in  both  developmental  phases  show  a 
maximum  of  transpiration  and  a wilting  or  lack  of  turgidity  in 
much  the  same  manner  as  plants  grown  in  the  open.  Evidently 
the  periodic  factor  light  produces  far  greater  effects  upon  the 
young  plant  than  upon  the  older  one.  The  factors  of  temperature 
and  humidity,  usually  periodic,  together  with  light  would  prob- 
ably account  for  the  big  dropping  off  of  transpiration  in  plants 
grown  beyond  the  seedling  stage  under  normal  growing  conditions. 
That  falling  temperature  may  account  for  the  drop  in  the  rate 
of  transpiration  at  night  is  shown  on  Plates  X and  XI  (repre- 
senting older  developmental  phases)  where  a drop  of  about  eight 
degrees  resulted  in  a big  depression  in  the  rate  of  transpira- 
tion. Such  a fall  in  temperature,  at  night,  would  have  little 
effect  upon  plants  in  the  young  developmental  phase,  for  trans- 
piration is  already  almost  at  a minimum.  From  these  considera- 
tions, it  must  be  concluded  that  periodic  factors  affect  a 
given  plant  differently  during  its  different  physiological 
stages. 

Tables  X and  XI  show  that  the  same  holds  true  at 
o 

25  with  a relative  humidity  of  45  percent.  Table  XII  shows 
the  course  of  transpiration  with  a temperature  of  20°  and  50 
percent  relative  humidity.  Here,  in  both  phases,  the  differ- 
ence between  the  transpiration  during  the  night  and  during  the 
day  is  slight,  --  a slight  maximum,  only,  occurring  during  the

day.  Evidently  we  must  conclude  that  under  certain  environ- 
mental conditions  periodic  factors  show  little  or  no  periodic 
results . 

However,  a perusal  of  Table  XV  and  the  curves  re- 
presenting Tables  XIII  and  XIV  tells  an  entirely  different 
story.  The  curve  of  transpiration  for  young  plants  represented 
in  Plate  XII  and  Table  XVI  represent  a period  in  the  develop- 
ment of  mays  at  the  time  when  the  leaves  are  unrolling  after 
having  broken  through  the  coleoptile.  The  transpiration  curve, 
in  these  cases,  shows  fluctuating  variations  without  any  peri- 
odicity. However,  during  the  morning  of  the  second  day,  the 
curve  represented  on  Plate  XII  shows  a steady  rise.  This  is 
probably  due  to  the  rapid  development  of  leaf  surface  which  is 
taking  place.  Plates  XIII,  XIV,  and  XV  represent  transpiration 
curves  of  well  developed  mays  plants.  It  is  seen  that  these 
curves  closely  approximate  those  obtained  from  plants  grown 
under  normal  growing  conditions  (Plates  IV  and  V).  Light,  then 
is  the  predominating  factor  in  producing  the  periodic  difference 
between  day  and  night  transpiration  in  mays.  Here  again  a drop 
in  temperature  or  rise  in  humidity  during  the  night  would  have 
little  effect,  as  transpiration  is  already  near  its  minimum. 

We  must  conclude  that  periodic  environmental  factors  affect 
different  plant  species  differently.

2.  Results  Secured  From  Experiments  in  Which  All  Factors  Were 
Uniformly  Maintained,  Except  That  the  Plants  Were 
Subjected  to  Light  (intensity  Constant)  and  Dark- 
ness Periodically. 

A study  of  Tables  XVI,  XVII,  and  XVIII  shows  that 
the  curves  of  absorption  and  transpiration  for  plants  grown  at 
35°C,  30°C,  and  25° C.  and  relative  humidities  of  45  percent, 
follow  the  same  general  course  as  do  the  curves  of  plants  grown 
with  all  conditions  except  light  controlled.  That  is,  the  trans- 
piration of  plants  in  the  older  developmental  phase  does  not 
drop  proportionally  as  far  at  night  as  does  that  of  plants  in 
the  younger  phase.  The  maximum  of  transpiration  is  found  at 
practically  the  same  hour  as  in  the  previous  experiments,  al- 
though the  intensity  of  light  did  not  increase  toward  mid-day. 

It  would  seem  from  this  that  the  increased  transpiration  which 
at  times  results  in  wilting  near  mid-day  is  due  to  exposure  to 
conditions  slightly  above  the  optimum  rather  than  to  increasing 
intensities.  Further  evidence  in  support  of  this  is  found  by 
the  observed  fact  that  at  a temperature  of  35°C.,  and  a relative 
humidity  of  45  percent.,  plants  were  often  observed  to  wilt  at 
or  near  midnight  after  a recovery  from  a mid-day  wilting  (Tables 
VII,  IX,  XVI,  XXI).  At  30°C.and  45  percent,  relat ive  humidity 
plants  in  the  older  developmental  phase  showed  no  wilting  at  all 
upon  the  first  day,  but  only  a slight  flaccidity  in  the  early 
morning  of  the  second  day  of  the  experiment.  This  is  additional

proof  that  increased  transpirat ing  and  wilting  near  noon  is  due 
to  the  duration  of  the  stimulation  rather  than  the  increasing 
intensity.  Table  XIX  shows  that  the  transpiration  of  plants  in 
the  older  developmental  phase  grown  at  20° C.  and  relative  humidity 
of  45  percent,  exhibits  no  periodicity,  while  the  transpiration 
of  plants  in  the  younger  phase  still  shows  this  periodicity. 
However,  at  15°C.  as  pronounced  a periodicity  occurs  in  the 
older  phase  as  in  the  younger  (Table  XX), 

Transpiration  curves  of  plants  grown  at  35°C., 

30°C. , and  25°C.  with  a relative  humidity  of  75  percent  follow 
the  same  general  course  as  do  those  grown  at  a relative  humidity 
of  45  percent .( Tables  XXI,  XXII,  and  XXIII).  At  20°C.  the  trans- 
piration of  plants  in  the  older  developmental  phase  shows  an  un- 
certain periodicity  while  that  of  the  younger  phase  still  retains 
a slight  periodicity.  A marked  difference  appears  between  day 
and  night  transpiration  at  15°C.  and  a relative  humidity  of  75 
percent.  At  the  same  temperature  but  wi th  a relative  humidity 
of  25  percent,  this  difference  is  much  more  pronounced  and  wilting 
may  result.  This  again  would  indicate  that  an  excessive  trans- 
piration is  caused  by  long  continued  exposure  to  a stimulation 
of  constant  intensity,  and  not  necessarily  due  to  the  increasing 
intensity  of  the  periodic  factor  under  observation.  This  is  a 
fact  which  Briggs  and  Shantz  (1916)  have  entirely  overlooked. 

Attention  should  be  called  at  this  point  to  a 
possible  difference  between  absorption  and  transpiration  under 
the  conditions  which  give  rise  to  the  results  above  noted.

Table  XXVII  is  a summary  of  all  tables,  showing  the  total  water 
absorbed  and  transpired  for  24  hour  periods.  The  periods  chosen 
for  this  table  include,  it  will  be  noted,  only  that  part  of  the 
observation  time  that  is  free  from  any  stimulation  due  to  a 
change  of  conditions.  Other  periods,  for  obvious  reasons,  might 
give  different  results.  A reference  to  this  table  shows  that 
at  relative  humidities  of  45  percent,  with  temperature  above 
20°C. , transpiration,  with  only  a few  exceptions,  is  in  excess 
of  absorption.  At  20°C.  and  with  a relative  humidity  of  45  per- 
cent^  transpiration  is  in  excess  in  approximately  50  percent  of 
the  cases.  This  apparently  is  a critical  temperature.  With  a 
temperature  of  15°C.  and  a relative  humidity  of  45  percent.,  the 
transpiration  of  plants  in  the  older  developmental  phase  always 
exceeds  absorption.  The  younger  developmental  phase  retains 
much  the  same  relation  as  at  20°C.  At  relative  humidities  of 
75  percent,  no  constant  relation  holds  between  absorption  and 
transpiration  with  temperatures  of  35°C. , 30°C. , and  25°C. 

At  20°C,  and  relative  humidity  of  75  percent.,  absorption  exceeds 
transpiration  in  all  cases.  With  a temperature  of  15°C.  and  a 
relative  humidity  of  75  percent,,  absorption  exceeds  transpira- 
tion in  all  cases  except  one  where  the  difference  is  so  small 
as  to  be  negligible.  In  the  young  phase,  under  the  same  con- 
ditions, absorption  does  not  vary  by  more  than  .05  of  a gram 
from  transpiration.  These  results  are  in  harmony  with  the 
observations  made  which  showed  that  Phaseolus  showed  the  best 
development  (not  necessarily  increase  in  length)  near  20°C.

In  the  growing  of  beans  in  the  greenhouse  it  was  also  found  that 
this  temperature  resulted  in  good  development.  It  is  difficult 
to  explain  why  periodicity  disappears  at  20°C. , unless  it  is 
assumed  that  the  conditions  under  which  Phaseolus  grows  best 
are  not  intense  enough  to  produce  a marked  difference  between 
day  and  night  transpiration. 

The  above  considerations  might  lead  one  to  put 
more  faith  in  Balias  (1910,  ’ll)  view  that  the  limiting  factor, 
in  the  development  of  Gossypium,  is  the  root  system.  Lloyd’s 
(1913)  objection  to  this  view  is  that  the  increased  intensity  of 
sunlight  upon  days  when  wilting  occurs  may  more  than  balance  any 
resulting  injury  by  the  increased  production  of  photosynthates. 
This  objection  is  not  valid,  for  he  assumes  that  the  increased 
intensity  of  light  is  accompanied  by  increased  temperature.  It 
has  been  pointed  out  by  Blackman  and  Matthaei  (1904)  that  an  in- 
crease in  the  intensity  of  one  factor  without  an  increase  in 
some  other  factor  (limiting  factor)  will  result  in  no  increase 
of  carbon  dioxide  being  fixed  by  plants.  In  this  work  it  was 
found  that  wilting  took  place  at  relative  humidities  of  25  per- 
cent. with  a temperature  of  15°C, , --  a temperature  too  low  for 
the  rapid  fixation  of  carbon.  Lloyd  completely  neglected  the 
fact  that  wilting  may  be  caused  by  factors  other  than  increased 
light  intensities.  A further  point  overlooked  by  Lloyd  is  that 
water  in  itself  is  as  necessary  as  sunlight  and  warmth  in  the 
formation  of  carbohydrates  by  plants.  It  is  not  the  purpose, 
however,  to  attempt  to  apply  this  principle  to  all  plants,  for

it  was  noted  that  mays  often  showed  a striking  development  during 
periods  when  transpiration  exceeded  absorption  (Plate  XII  and 
Table  XV).  Of  course,  in  this  case,  water  stored  by  the  plant 
may  have  been  used  for  metabolic  processes,  for  the  deficit 
between  absorption  and  transpiration  never  resulted  in  wilting. 

It  would  seem,  perhaps,  that  the  lack  of  correlation 
between  the  excess  of  transpiration  (over  absorption)  and  the 
poor  development  of  plants  at  temperatures  above  20°C.  when  the 
humidity  is  75  percent,  negates  the  arguments  which  have  been 
made.  This,  however,  is  not  the  case,  for  at  30°C.  wilting 
(increase  of  transpiration  over  absorption)  seldom  took  place 
until  the  day  following  the  experiment  and  the  return  of  the 
plant  to  its  original  environment.  Likewise  the  yellowing  of  the 
old  leaves  of  plants  in  the  older  developmental  phase  seldom  oc- 
curred at  25°C.  until  after  the  plants  had  been  returned  to  their 
original  environment.  It  is  only  necessary,  in  these  cases,  to 
recognize  the  fact  that  at  low  intensities  effects  may  not  follow 
until  a considerable  time  after  the  withdrawal  of  the  stimulus. 

It  should  further  be  mentioned  that  young  plants  which  had  been 
exposed  to  temperatures  of  25°C.  and  30°C.  and  relative  humidity 
of  75  percent,  showed  no  injurious  after  effects  if  kept  under 
the  constant  conditions  of  the  growing-house;  while  old  plants, 
under  similar  conditions,  showed  a yellowing  of  leaves.  At  35°c. 
and  relative  humidity  45  percent,  plants  in  the  young  phase 
wilted  either  on  or  following  the  day  of  the  experiment.  Young 
plants  grown  at  30°C.  and  at  45  or  75  percent,  relative  humidity, 


22 


and  older  plants  grown  at  30°C,  and  75  percent,  relative  humidity 
showed  no  wilting  on  or  following  the  day  of  the  experiment  un- 
less subjected  to  intense  sunlight.  Old  plants  at  30°C.  and 
relative  humidity  45  percent,  often  became  slightly  flaccid  near 
the  end  of  a given  experiment.  At  a relative  humidity  of  75  per- 
cent. and  a temperature  of  35°C. t young  plants  showed  no  wilting 
during  an  experiment  while  old  ones  wilted  badly.  However,  the 
young  plants  grown  under  these  conditions  wilted  rhythmically 
near  mid-day  for  several  days  under  the  conditions  of  the  growing- 
house.  Untreated  plants  showed  no  such  wilting. 

A comparison  made  between  the  curves  of  transpira- 
tion and  absorption  with  the  observed  physical  effects  of  wilting 
shows  another  marked  difference  between  the  two  developmental 
phases  of  Phaseolus  studied.  In  the  tables  given,  the  point  at 
which  the  plant  was  observed  to  wilt  is  twice  underscored;  the 
point  at  which  it  shows  recovery  is  once  underscored.  All  these 
tables  show  that  the  deficit  between  transpiration  and  absorption 
which  results  in  initial  wilting  is  much  less  in  the  older  devel- 
opmental phases  than  in  the  younger.  The  results  of  the  experi- 
ments, however,  are  not  strictly  comparable  with  each  other  for 
in  some  cases  circumstances  pervented  the  taking  of  a reading 
at  the  exact  moment  when  the  plant  was  placed  in  the  experimental 
chamber,  and,  consequently,  the  plant  may  have  lost  some  water 
before  the  first  reading  was  made.  These  tables  further  show 
that  wilting  may  show  no  direct  relation  to  the  periodic  factor 
involved,  but  may  occur  at  night  after  the  periodic  factor 
(light)  is  no  longer  acting  (Tables  VI,  VII,  IX,  XVI,  XXI ) ,

It  is  also  well,  at  this  point,  to  again  point  out  that  at  some 
temperature  intensities  a flaccidity  of  the  plants  under  obser- 
vation occurred  only  in  the  early  morning  of  the  second  day  of 
the  experiment,  sometimes  before  the  periodic  stimulus  of  light 
had  again  acted.  This  indicates  that  wilting  is  dependent  upon 
internal  as  well  as  external  factors. 

These  observations  emphasize  the  fact  that  wilting 
is  dependent  upon  a complexity  of  factors  - — internal  and  ex- 
ternal. Thus  it  has  been  seen  that  wilting  may  occur  even  when 
an  excess  of  water  is  supplied  to  the  plant;  that  it  may  be 
conditioned  by  the  physiological  state  of  the  plant;  that  it 
may  be  dependent  upon  the  previous  environment  of  the  plant; 
and,  that  it  may  be  more  or  less  affected  by  internal  factors. 
Such  factors  as  these  have  been  entirely  neglected  by  many 
workers  in  this  field  (Briggs  and  Shantz,  1912). 

In  Table  XXVII  is  given  a quantitative  summary  of 
the  effects  of  temperature  and  humidity  upon  the  rate  of  transpir- 
ation. Livingston  (1913)  has  suggested  that  seemingly  pure  phys- 
ical processes  may  follow  the  van’t  Hof f -Arrhenius  law  which, 
broadly  stated,  demands  that  every  increase  of  10°C.  result  in 
a doubling  or  trebling  of  the  rate  of  chemical  reaction.  Living- 
ston states  that  his  reason  for  this  is  that  many  physical  and 
physiological  reactions  depend  for  their  inception  upon  a multi- 
tude of  chemical  processes  going  on  within  the  plant.  That  tem- 
perature changes  do  produce,  within  limits,  differences  in  the 
rate  of  reaction  of  certain  metabolic  processes  and  follow  some-

what  closely  van’t  Hoff's  law  has  been  made  common  knowledge 
through  the  work  of  Blackman  (1905),  Matthaei  (1904),  Clausen 
(1890),  Cohen  (1901),  Price  (1909-10),  Maltaux  (1906),  Snyder 
(1908),  Lehenbauer  (1914),  and  others.  Most  of  this  work  is  well 
summarized  in  articles  by  Livingston  (1913),  Blackman  (1908), 

Loeb  (1908),  and  Snyder. 

The  temperature  coefficients  for  transpiration  for 
each  rise  of  10°C. , calculated  from  Table  XXVII,  are  as  follows 


Relative  Humidity  45  percent. 

Young  Plants. 

15°C. - 25° C. , 1.16 
20°C.-  30°C. , 1.96 
25°C.-  35°C. , 2.44 

Old  Plants. 

15°C. - 25°C. , 1.31 
20° C. - 30® C. , 1.34 
25°C. - 35° C, , 3.10 


Relative  Humidity  75  percent. 

Young  Plants. 

15°C. - 25°C. , 1.47 
20° C. - 30°C. , 1.30 
25°C.-  35°C. , 3.56 

Old  Plants. 

15°C. - 25° C, , 1.15 
20°C. - 30° C. , 1.23 
25°C. - 35°C. , 5.06 


The  coefficients  showing  the  increase  in  pressure  of  water  vapour 

for  10°C.  intervals  are:  - 

15®C. - 25®C. , 1.84 
20  C.-  30  C.,  1.80 
25° C.-  35°C. , 1.77 

From  this  data  it  is  seen  that  between  15°C.  and 
30°C.  the  temperature  coefficients  for  transpiration  of  plants  in 
different  stages  of  development  grown  under  different  conditions 
of  humidity  (45  and  75  percent.)  are  fairly  constant  for  the 
respective  conditions  of  growth,  except  in  the  case  of  young 


- 25  - 

plants  grown  at  a relative  humidity  of  45  percent.  With  this  one 
exception,  the  temperature  coefficients  for  transpiration  lie 
below  the  very  lowest  coefficient  (1.5)  ever  found  to  apply  to 
changes  in  rate  of  chemical  action  under  van’t  Hoff’s  law.  Like- 
wise these  coefficients  are  always  less  than  the  coefficients  of 
increase  for  corresponding  temperature  changes  in  pressure  of 
vapour  tension.  This  lesser  magnitude  of  the  coefficient  may  be 
assigned  to  the  independent  physiological  reaction  of  stomata  to 
stimulation  and  a consequent  slowing  down  in  the  escape  of  water 
vapour.  The  temperature  coefficient  for  transpiration  of  all 
plants,  grown  between  25°C.  and  35°C.  and  at  both  humidities  and 
further,  that  of  young  plants  between  20°C.  and  30° C.  at  a humid- 
ity of  45  percent.,  shows  a very  sudden  increase  as  contrasted 
with  the  coefficient  for  changes  in  pressure  of  vapour  tension 
for  corresponding  temperature  changes.  This  appears,  at  first 
glance,  a seeming  impossibility.  One  might  think  of  an  accumu- 
lation within  the  leaf  of  vapour  under  pressure  and  of  its  sud- 
den release  through  the  opening  of  the  stomata  at  high  tempera- 
tures (30°c.,  35°C,),  This,  however,  while  it  would  account  for 
a sudden  rise  in  the  temperature  coefficient  if  a short  interval 
of  time  only  were  considered,  cannot  be  considered  when  the  co- 
efficient is  derived  from  calculations  based  upon  the  total  amount 
of  water  given  off  in  twenty-four  hours. 

In  seeking  for  an  explanation  of  this  sudden  rise 
in  the  temperature  coefficient  for  transpiration  at  temperatures 
between  25°C.  and  35°C.,  it  is  necessary  once  more  to  recall 


- 


. 


. 


, . 


- 26  - 

the  conditions  of  plants  grown  between  25°C.  and  35°C.  It  will 
be  recalled  that  at  temperatures  above  30°C. , absorption  always 
exceeded  transpiration  and  that  wilting  always  occurred  during 
or  following  the  time  of  experimentation.  Keeping  this  point 
in  mind,  one  should  make  a careful  study  of  Table  XXVII  and  of 
the  coefficients  given  on  page  24.  This  will  show,  with  the 
one  exception  previously  noted  (young  plants  at  30°C.  and  re- 
lative humidity  45  percent.  ) , that  the  sudden  increase  in  magni- 
tude of  the  temperature  coefficient  for  transpiration  between 
25°C.  and  35°C.  occurs  not  at  25°C.  nor  at  30°C. , but  at  some 
temperature  between  30°C.  and  35° C. 

Keeping  the  facts  mentioned  in  the  above  paragraph 
well  in  mind,  one  should  remember  that  at  low  evaporating  inten- 
sities the  leaf  is  partially  or  entirely  injected  with  water. 
Consequently  the  evaporating  surface  may  be  considered  to  vary 
from  the  area  of  the  stomata  on  one  hand,  to  the  area  of  the 
water  surface  within  the  leaf  plus  all  plant  membranes  bordering 
the  intercellular  spaces.  As  long  as  an  increasing  intensity 
does  not  result  in  a big  enough  drop  in  the  water  content  of  the 
leaf  to  expose  much  of  the  internal  membranes,  every  rise  of 
10°C.  will  have  the  same  temperature  coefficient,  but  whenever 
a factor  becomes  intense  enough  to  cause  a great  loss  in  leaf 
water,  more  internal  surface  is  exposed,  and,  consequently,  the 
increase  is  due  not  to  a sudden  increase  in  the  evolution  of 
vapour  from  the  leaf  area  taken  as  a unit,  but  from  an  area  which 
may  be  many  times  larger;  i.e. , the  free  internal  surfaces.

Again,  at  medium  temperatures,  the  evaporating  surface  may  be 
greatly  reduced  because  of  "physiologically  dry"  membranes.  That 
is,  the  cell  membranes  may  hold  water  very  tenaciously  while  in 
a good  "tonic"  condition.  High  temperatures,  however,  influence 
the  general  "tone"  of  the  plant  and  cause  the  membranes  to  become 
more  permeable  (Lepeschh  in,  1908,  '09,  Rysselberge,  1901).  Thus 
through  a change  in  permeability,  water  might  appear  on  the  mem- 
branes which  before  had  been  "physiologically  dry".  Indirect 
evidence  is  good  that  this  is  true  for  the  young  plants  (previous- 
ly noted  as  an  exception)  whose  temperature  coefficient  for  trans- 

o o 

piration  is  1.96  for  temperatures  between  20  C.  and  30  C.  at  45 
percent,  relative  humidity;  for,  at  30°C.  torsions  and  movements 
of  leaves  (having  no  relation  whatsoever  to  the  usual  photeolic 
ones)  occurred,  thus  indicating  changes  in  turgor  relations. 

A further  study  of  the  temperature  coefficients 
for  transpiration,  shows  that  the  sudden  increase  in  magnitude 
at  high  temperatures  is  greatest  in  old  plants.  This  is  in  har- 
mony with  the  observations  previously  made,  namely,  — plants  in 
the  older  developmental  phase  are  more  susceptible  to  injury 
than  are  those  in  the  younger  phase.  The  sudden  increase  in  the 
coefficient  is  also  greater  at  high  relative  humidities  than  at 
low  ones.  This  can  be  explained  by  assuming  that  plants  exposed 
to  temperatures  somewhat  below  the  maximum  are  more  injuriously 
affected  at  high  than  at  medium  relative  humidities,  and  according- 
ly show  increased  permeability.  Indeed,  it  was  an  observed  fact 


11

that  plants  grown  at  350c.  and  45  percent,  relative  humidity  were 
no  more  permanently  injured  than  those  grown  at  75  percent,  rela- 
tive humidity. 

Table  XXVII  should  not  be  passed  by  without  noting 
that  at  relative  humidities  of  75  percent,  transpiration,  from  a 
given  unit  area,  is  always  less  in  old  plants  than  in  younger 
ones  (7  - 10  days  younger).  This  might  be  construed  as  confirma- 
tion of  the  belief  held  since  the  time  of  Hoehnel  (1877)  that 
young  leaves  lose  more  water  than  do  old  ones.  It  must  be  re- 
membered, however,  that  about  one-third  of  the  leaf  surface  of 
the  older  plants  consists  of  young  leaflets.  Further,  no  constant 
relationship  holds  for  the  amount  of  water  lost  per  unit  area  by 
young  and  old  plants  grown  at  45  percent,  relative  humidity. 

This  indicates  that  the  check  in  transpiration  noted  in  old  leaves 
is  as  much  due  to  a physiological  response  to  environment  as  to  the 
thickening  of  epidermal  and  cuticular  walls. 

A further  fact,  which  might  be  of  value  in  making 
interpretations  of  the  results  given  in  Table  XXVII,  is  that  the 
stomata  of  plants  in  the  older  developmental  phase,  especially 
those  grown  at  low  relative  humidities,  showed  very  little  response 
to  temperature  changes  at  25°C.  and  below,  but  at  30°C.  opened 
widely. 

It  may  be  well,  at  this  point,  to  say  that  the 
porous  cup  evaporimeter  v/as  used  in  all  experiments  and  a record 
of  the  readings  kept.  It  was  found,  through  actual  tests,  that 
the  porous  clay  cup,  used  as  an  evaporimeter,  is  not  an  instrument

of  precision.  Such  an  evaporimeter  exposed  to  low  evaporating 
conditions,  then  very  high  ones,  and  again  "brought  back  to  low 
ones,  showed  wide  variations  for  which  it  was  impossible  to  apply 
the  usual  coefficients  of  corrections.  Likewise  it  was  found  im- 
practical to  use  a newly  corrected  instrument  for  each  experiment. 
Growth  of  fungi  occurred  on  the  cups,  even  if  previously  sterilized, 
and  since  the  conditions  of  the  experiment  made  it  impossible  to 
open  the  plant  chambers  to  clean  the  evaporimeters , considerable 
error  was  introduced.  The  evaporimeter  did,  however,  serve  a use- 
ful purpose  as  a fairly  good  indicator  of  the  uniformity  of  condi- 
tions during  a given  experiment.

Summary. 

The  physiological  state  of  the  plant  must  be  con- 
sidered in  experiments  dealing  with  transpiration  and  absorption. 

The  deficit  between  transpiration  and  absorption 
which  results  in  wilting  is  much  less  in  plants  with  two  full 
grown  simple  leaves  and  one  full  grown  trifoliate  leaf  than  in 
plants  having  two  completely  developed  simple  leaves. 

Transpiration  markedly  exceeds  absorption  in  the 
early  forenoon  of  a fairly  hot  summer’s  day  and  falls  below  it  in 
the  early  afternoon.  The  excess  of  w ater  held  by  the  plant  is 
absorbed  at  this  time  rather  than  at  night. 

The  indirect  effect  of  external  factors  upon  in- 
ternal ones  must  always  be  considered  in  experiments  upon  wilting 
and  transpiration. 

A rhythmic  wilting  may  be  induced  in  Phaseolus . 

While  wilting  at  mid-day  may  be  due  to  an  increas- 
ing intensity  of  a combination  of  physical  factors  (light,  tempera- 
ture, humidity,  air  currents),  it  is  more  often  due  to  the  contin- 
ued exposure  to  a supra-normal  factor  which  remains  constant  through' 
out  a considerable  period.  Many  interpretations  of  correlations 
between  periodic  factors  and  transpiration,  such  as  Briggs  and 
Shantz  (1916)  have  made,  are  open  to  serious  objections. 

Similar  periodic  factors  affect  differently  the 
day  and  night  transpiration  of  different  plant  species,  and  the

value  of  these  factors  varies  greatly  in  different  stages  of  plant 
growth. 

The  amount  of  water  lost  through  transpiration  "by 
a given  unit  area  of  an  old  plant  may  fall  or  rise  above  that  of 
a young  plant,  depending  upon  the  environmental  conditions. 

The  temperature  coefficients  expressing  the  rela- 
tion betv/een  rising  temperature  and  rate  of  transpiration  lie  with- 
in well  defined  limits  for  low  and  medium  temperatures,  but  increase 
abruptly  for  higher  temperatures.  They  are  further  modified  by 
humidity. 

The  rate  of  transpiration  at  the  end  of  twenty-four 
hours  is  often  increased  over  the  initial  rate  at  medium  tempera- 
tures, and  reduced  at  high  temperatures. 

Periodicity  in  transpiration  is  determined  by  phy- 
siological states  of  growth  and  external  conditions. 

Periodicity  in  transpiration  may  be  overcome. 

The  stomata  of  plants  grown  for  twenty-four  hours  in 
an  atmosphere  of  75  percent,  relative  humidity  show  no  particular 
response  to  temperature  changes  betv/een  15°C.  and  25°C.  At  tempera- 
tures above  25°C.  an  opening  of  the  stomata  occurs. 

Contrary  to  general  opinion,  relative  humidity  may, 
under  some  conditions  (temperature),  be  the  factor  governing 
stomatal  activity. 

The  sudden  increase  in  transpiration  at  high  tempera- 
tures is  due  to  the  absence  of  water  in  the  intercellular  spaces 
of  the  leaf,  thereby  enlarging  the  evaporating  surface  through  the

Explanation  of  Tables  and  Plates 

In  the  following  tables  the  hour  of  the  day  appears  upon 
the  first  horizontal  line.  The  increments  of  absorption  appear 
upon  the  second,  and  the  increments  of  transpiration  appear  upon 
the  third,  each  placed  under  its  proper  time  interval.  In  case 
the  increments  are  too  many  to  be  placed  on  one  line,  they  are 
carried  below  under  their  proper  time  interval  (of  course  twenty- 
four  hours  removed).  In  those  instances  where  all  conditions 
were  not  controlled,  evaporimet er , temperature,  or  other  records 
appear  on  other  lines,  separated  by  a blank  from  the  rest  of  the 
table.  Each  experiment  is  listed  serially  under  each  table. 

Since  plants  in  both  the  young  and  old  developmental  phases  were 
usually  tested  together  in  a single  experiment,  the  serial  number 
representing  the  number  of  the  experiment  is  followed  by  the 
letter  "aH  or  "b".  The  letter  "aH  always  signifies  that  the  in- 
crements represent  those  of  young  plants,  while  the  letter  "b“ 
represents  increments  of  old  plants.  Thus  Table  XXIV  la,  lb 
would  denote  that  the  first  serial  experiment  of  that  table  con- 
sisted of  tests  made  upon  young  plants  ’'la’'  and  old  plants  Mlb" 
grown  together  in  the  same  plant  chamber. 

The  curves  are  plotted  from  the  increments  given  in  the 
table  referred  to  under  each  plate  heading.  The  time  of  day  is 
designated  at  hourly  intervals  upon  the  abscissa;  the  amount  of 
water  absorbed  and  transpired  is  indicated  in  tenths  of  grams 
upon  the  ordinate.  Curves  of  evaporation,  absorption,  and  trans- 
piration are  indicated  as  follows:  - 


dashed  line v/ater  loss  from  evaporimeter , 

broken  line  transpiration, 

solid  line  absorption.
