The tenth volume of Water-in-Plants Bibl iography includes papers in al
I fields of plant water relations research which appeared during the
year 1984 - from theoreti- cal considerations about the state of water
in cel Is and its membrane transport to drought resistance of plants or
physiological significance of irrigation. In addition to papers devoted
entirely to plant water relations, papers on other topics are in- cluded
if they contain data on plant hydration level, water vapour efflux, rate
of water uptake or water transport, etc., or if they contain valuable
methodological in- formation (measurement of selected microclimatic
factors, soi I moisture etc.). We have tried to cover fully the relevant
papers which have been publ ished in important scientific periodicals
and books. Articles appeared in local journals, mimeographed booklets,
abstracts of thesis and of symposia contributions, etc., were chosen
mostly from reprints received directly from authors. The courtesy of
those is highly appreciated. The manuscript is usually prepared in May
and June of the year fol lowing the year which it covers. Unfortunately
some reprints come later and thus the respective references appear in
the fol lowing volume, with one year delay. To maximize the value of the
bibl iography the references are arranged alphabetic- ally according to
the authors' names, and each volume is provided with three indexes.
