Carbon and Water Balance
Storyboard
Crop physiology involves understanding the carbon and water balance of plants, which includes carbon dioxide uptake through photosynthesis and water loss through transpiration.
Stomatal Regulation: Stomata on plant leaves play a crucial role in balancing carbon uptake and water loss. They open and close in response to environmental conditions to optimize gas exchange.
Water Use Efficiency: Crop physiologists aim to improve water use efficiency, ensuring that crop plants produce more biomass with less water consumption.
