Theresistanceofstomaticdiffusion, evapotranspirationrateand daily progress of water potential in leavesof the fourkinds ofcropswere determined at the same time in theirheading stages.
The density ofwater molecules within the leaf is typically 60 times greater than the density of carbon dioxide in the air, and the diffusionrateof the water molecule is greater than that of the carbon-dioxide molecule.
