| Abstract: | Leaf area was found to be an almost linear function of absoluteleaf water content (that is fresh weightdry weight) forseveral dicotyledonous genotypes. A closely similar relationshipheld for a given genotype in the same rooting medium despiteincreasing plant size and different treatments which resultedin leaves which were sometimes morphologically dissimilar andoften substantially different in specific leaf water contents(water/dry matter). The usefulness of the linear relationshipfor estimating leaf area in growth studies is noted. |
