Fig. 8. — Changes in (A) vapour pressure deficit (D_a), (B) fruit volume (solid line) and stem water potential (Ψ_stem, dotted line), and (C) pedicel sap flow, for a fruiting Actinidia chinensis ‘Hort16A’ plant temporarily exposed to controlled conditions. Experimental conditions were similar to those described for Fig. 7, except that watering was withheld, resulting in wilting on days 179 and 180, followed by recovery after re-watering (downward-facing arrow). Ψ_stem is the output from a leaf psychrometer installed on a non-transpiring leaf. The psychrometer failed on day 180 as the leaf desiccated, returning a value of 0 MPa after the vapour seal to the leaf was lost.
