Abstract

The growth equation for the rate of water uptake is augmented with a transpiration term. The obtained augmented growth equations are used to develop methodology which employs the pressure probe to measure transpiration rates from single plant cells. Experiments are conducted on the sporangiophores of Phycomyces blakesleeanus to demonstrate this technique.
