Implication

Methodological study demonstrates rapid tissue saturation in leaf blade disks, indicating a reliable approach to measure plant water deficit with minimal infiltration.

Key Points

To establish an accurate, rapid method for determining water deficit in excised leaf tissue while minimizing infiltration artifacts.
Punched 8 mm diameter disks from leaf blades.
Mounted disks on polyethylene rings placed within the apertures of a water-saturated polyurethane foam plate.
Leaf tissue achieved complete saturation within 3 hours.
The foam plate arrangement provided saturation with minimal opportunity for liquid infiltration into tissue spaces.
