Water-in-Plants Bibliography : Volume 9, 1983

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.
