The ninth volume of Water-in-Plants Bibi iography includes papers in al
I fields of plant water relations research which appeared during the
year 1983. - from theoreti- cal considerations about the state of water
in cel 15 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. l. We have tried to cover ful Iy 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 usual Iy 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 bibi iography the references are arranged
alphabetic- al Iy according to the authors' names, and each volume is
provided with three indexes.
