This video is a valuable resource for students of plant physiology, agriculture, and environmental science, providing insights into the mechanisms that govern water movement in plants. The video also explores the relationship between these factors and how they impact plant water relations.


Water potential is the movement of water from high concentration to low concentration. Solute potential and pressure potential are two key components that influence the movement of water in biological systems, particularly plant cells. They both contribute to the overall water potential, which dictates the direction of water flow.


Vapor pressure deficit (VPD) is a measurement of the dryness of air. It's essentially the difference between the amount of moisture currently in the air and the maximum amount of moisture the air can hold at a specific temperature.


High VPD

  • High transpiration

  • Stomata closing

  • Low CO2 conductance

  • High temperature

  • Low RH


Low VPD

  • Low transpiration

  • Stomata opening

  • High CO2 conductance

  • Low temperature

  • High RH
