Transpiration-The process in which water vapor is lost through the leaves, pulling water up from the roots.
transpiration The process of losing water in the form of vapor through stomata.
transpirational pull The force exerted by transporation from the leaves which draws water up through the plant.
transpiration
Evaporation of water from inside plant leaves.

Transpiration is the process by which a plant loses water through its leaves. This is a necessary process for plant growth. A large tree may lose hundreds of gallons of water a day in the summer.
TRANSPIRATION: The loss of water from plant tissues in the form of vapor.
TRANSPLANTING: The process of digging up a plant and moving it to another location.
TREATED SEEDS: Seeds that have been protected against diseases. They are toxic.
Transpiration of water on the leaf and stem surfaces will cause the stomata's guard cells on the undersides of the leaves to close to protect water resources; if sufficient watering of the tree is not maintained, as a result, the leaves curl, dry up, ...
TRANSPIRATION: a process that carries minerals to leaves where oxygen and water vapor escape through the stomata.
"Every individual alive today, the highest as well as the lowest, is derived in an unbroken line from the first and lowest forms." ...
Transpiration cools the plant (kind of like perspiration). Water vapor can also condense on leaves and enter the plant through the stomata.

Finally, reduce transpiration - the loss of water through the leaves - by placing your plants in shady locations away from wind.
There are certain characteristics that indicate drought tolerance, so keep these in mind when choosing xerophytic plants for containers: Silvery foliage and hairy or fuzzy leaves reflect sunlight, thus reducing water loss via transpiration, ...
Severing the roots of a plant deprives it of its means of transpiration, or siphoning moisture up into its foliage. To minimise transpiration loss, try to move the plant early or late on a cool, still, cloudy day.
In addition, through a process known as evapotranspiration, grass and other plants warmed by the sun give up water which then evaporates to cool not only the plant itself but the surrounding area as well.
Anything that disrupts the balance between water input and water output (transpiration) can cause leaf scorch. The leaves dehydrate and may die if the water intake is less that the amount the plant releases or transpires.
Misting inhibits transpiration and forces the plant to conserve water while it forms new roots. If a mist system is unavailable, one can be imitated in a small propagation tray in the home.
Plants use a process called transpiration to release water into the atmosphere through tiny openings in their leaves. High humidity slows this water loss.
With few exceptions, herbs require excellent drainage, especially during the winter months, when transpiration rates are lowest (that's the rate at which plants release water from their leaves to the atmosphere).
Moisture is also lost through transpiration, the process by which plants draw up water from the soil through their roots and then keep themselves cool by passing it out through their leaves.
Plant windbreaks to reduce evapotranspiration.
Water plants early in the morning to promote deep root growth. Water thoroughly when you water; don't simply wet the surface.
Stomata - small mouth-like or nose-like openings (pores) on leaf underside, responsible for transpiration and many other life functions: The millions of stomata must be kept very dean to function properly.
Sugar - food product of a plant.
Between 80 and 98 percent of this uptake is required for transpiration (loosely compared to perspiration in animals), which allows the plant to produce and somewhat control its immediate microclimate.
Humidity is also a necessity, and hydroponics allows plants to provide some of their own, through evaporation of the water in the nutrient solution and plant transpiration.
In a prolonged drought, cover more sensitive plants with a shade cloth to limit midday transpiration, suggests Cado Daily of the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension.
1. Plant in the early spring or fall when temperatures are cool and evaporation and transpiration rates for plants are low.
Gather the remaining leaves into a bunch and trim them to half their original size. This, too, prevents unnecessary transpiration of water.

Keep compost moist and occasionally spray cuttings to help with loss of water through transpiration.
Conifers take a long time to root and won't be ready to be given their own pots until next autumn.
Check the pots often to make sure they don't dry out and do not let the plants wilt in the sun and wind. Potted transplants outdoors may need frequent watering since the pot won't hold enough water to support heavy transpiration.
When you cut carnations and other flowers, you can keep them alive for a few weeks in water. The carnations draw the water up their stems to supply the leaves and flowers using a process called transpiration. ... Read More ...
Immediately place the cut end into the glass of fresh, tepid water. This will keep an air bubble from blocking it's transpiration passages, which can kill a plant within 24 hours. Leave your cuttings overnight in the water with no light.
Large upper leaves can also be
reduced in size to cut down moisture loss through transpiration. Dip the base of the
cutting into a hormone rooting preparation to encourage root formation and prevent
fungal infection.
(In fact, a Canadian study showed that a 6-inch-thick green roof reduced heat gains by 95 percent and heat losses by 26 percent compared with a conventional one.) By absorbing heat from their surroundings in the process of transpiration, ...
or spruce will require watering for establishment and frequently thereafter due to excessive competition for moisture. Hostas in sunny locations will also need additional water to compensate for hotter conditions and increased transpiration.
