  2. Scientists Say: Guttation

    Scientists Say: Guttation. This is a process that forces water out of a plant's leaves and stem. The droplets on the edges of this strawberry leaf are the result of guttation. This is a process in which water seeps out at the tips or edges of a plant's leaves. The water is from xylem — the main water transport tissue in a plant.

  3. Phenomenon of Guttation in Plants (With Diagram)

    The guttation occurs when there is ample water in the soil and the humidity of air is high. The phenomenon of guttation can be demonstrated by a simple experiment (see Fig. 4.9). Take a small potted plant of Nasturtium and place it over a glass plate. Now cover the plant with a bell-jar; the mouth of the bell-jar is connected through a bent ...

  4. Guttation in Plant Cells (With Diagram)

    The phenomenon of guttation can be demonstrated by a simple experiment (Fig. 5.11 A). A well watered potted plant of garden nasturtium is kept under a bell-jar on a glass sheet. Before this, the pot is covered in a polythene bag to check the evaporation of water from the soil. The apparatus is made air-tight by applying vaseline.

    Introduction. As explained in Chapter 1, guttation is the process of exudation of liquid through permanently open pores called hydathodes located at the tips, edges, and surfaces of uninjured leaves in a wide range of plant species (Singh and Singh 2013; Singh 2013, 2014a,b, 2016a,b). This phenomenon is now known to play a significant role in ...

    Guttation is the process of liquid exudation from hydathodes situated on the tip, along the margins and adaxial and abaxial surfaces of leaves. ... However, further experiments limiting the virus inoculum source to guttation fluid are necessary to prove that this fluid is an inoculum source. 4.6 Plant Defence Against Pathogen Attack

  9. Guttation fundamentals and applications

    The phenomenon of guttation finds applications in a wide range of areas, including plant biology, ecology, agriculture, horticulture, animal husbandry, pharmacology and medicine. This unique text provides a comprehensive review of this process. It explores the genetic, environmental, and edaphic factors that control and regulate guttation; and ...

  10. Guttation: Path, principles and functions

    In exclusion-field experiments, the presence of guttation modified the insect community by increasing the number of predators and parasitic wasps that visited the plants. Overall, our results ...

  11. The Effect of Guttation on the Growth of Bamboo Shoots

    Guttation is the process of exudating droplets from the tips, edges, and adaxial and abaxial surfaces of the undamaged leaves. Guttation is a natural and spontaneous biological phenomenon that occurs in a wide variety of plants. Despite its generally positive effect on plant growth, many aspects of this cryptic process are unknown. In this study, the guttation phenomenon characteristic of ...

  12. Guttation

    Guttation on Equisetum sp.. Guttation is the exudation of drops of xylem and phloem sap on the tips or edges of leaves of some vascular plants, such as grasses, and also a number of fungi.Ancient Latin gutta means "a drop of fluid", whence modern botany formed the word guttation to designate that a plant exudes drops of fluid onto the outer surface of the plant, when the source of the fluid is ...

  13. Plant guttation provides nutrient-rich food for insects

    In exclusion-field experiments, the presence of guttation modified the insect community by increasing the number of predators and parasitic wasps that visited the plants. Overall, our results demonstrate that plant guttation is highly reliable, compared to other plant-derived food sources such as nectar, and that it increases the communities ...

  15. Guttation in highbush blueberries, V. corymbosum. (a) Guttation

    Plant guttation is a fluid from xylem and phloem sap secreted at the margins of leaves from many plant species. All previous studies have considered guttation as a water source for insects.

  16. Root Pressure in Plants (With Experiment)

    This is sometimes referred to as guttation or bleeding. Guttation or bleeding and root pressure are now considered to be merely different aspects of the same phenomenon. ... Experiment on the Development of Root Pressure in Plants: Soil Formed Cut across the stem of a vigorously growing healthy potted plant, a few inches above the ground level ...

  17. Photoperiod-controlling Guttation and Growth of Rice ...

    Guttation has been shown to play a crucial role in controlling plant growth and development by involvement of the transport of water, but how does this water transport in plant from roots to leaves work against pull of gravity is still unknown. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of microgravity on photoperiod-controlling guttation and growth of rice (Oryza sativa L ...

  18. Guttation

    Guttation. In other words, guttation is the phenomenon of secretion of exudates or fluids having dissolved materials therein from uninjured plant organs through special structures called "hydathodes" or sometimes "water stomata" or "water pores" that are always open and located on the periphery and surfaces of leaves (Dixon and Dixon, 1931).

  19. 5.4 Wilting and guttation
