The sixth volume of Water-in-Plants Bibl iography includes papers in all
fields of plant wa-rer relations research which appeared during the year
1980 - from theore- tical considerations about the state of water in
cells and its membl"ane transport to drought resistance of plants or
physiological significance of irrigation. In addition to papers devoted
entirely to plant water I"elations, papers on other topics are included
if they contain data on plant hydration level, water vapour efflux, ra-
te of water uptake or \later transport, etc., or if they contain
valuable methodolo- gical informati-on (measurement of selected microcl
imatic factors, soi I nx: >isture, etc. ). We have tried to cover fully
the relevant papers whi ch have been publ ished in the rTDst important
scienti fie periodicals and books. Articles appeared in local journals,
mirreographed booklets, abstracts of thesis and of symposia
contributions, etc., were chosen rTDstly from reprints received directly
from authors. The courtesy of those authors who have already supplied us
with reprints and lists of their - bl ications is highly appreciated.
The manuscript is usually prepared in 1ay and June of the year 10110l,
ing the year which it covers. Unfortunataly some reprints come later and
thus the respective references appear in the following vol ume, with one
year delay. To maximize the value of the bibliography the references are
alTanged alphabeti- cally according to the authors' names, and each
volume is provided "ith three indexes.
