Transpiration occurs through young or mature stem is called as Cauline transpiration. Depending upon the plant surface, transpiration is classified into three types: Water vapour diffuses out through minute pore (stomata) present in soft aerial part of plant is known as Stomatal Transpiration Stomatal Transpiration
Transpiration Rates Transpiration depends on concentration gradients in the same way that mass flow does The driving force of transpiration is the "vapor pressure gradient." This is the difference in vapor pressure between the internal spaces in the leaf and the atmosphere around the leaf Factors affecting rate of transpiration
transpiration; thus interception generally precipitates closer to its evaporative source than transpiration, which is particularly pronounced outside the tropics. We conclude that interception mainly works as an intensifier of the local hydrological cycle during wet spells and wet seasons. On the other hand, transpiration remains active
transpiration rate was higher in HP than that in SDJ. Considering higher CO 2 exchange rate together with lower transpiration in SDJ indicated that some other cultivars rice genetic resources could use to enhance rice yield potential and water use efficiency in an irrigated rice system.

Global Reference Evapo-Transpiration (Global-ET0) Potential Evapo-Transpiration (PET) is a measure of the ability of the atmosphere to remove water through Evapo-Transpiration (ET) processes. Among several equations to estimate PET, a FAO application of the Penman-Monteith equation (Allen et al. 1998), here referred as FAO-
transpiration rates increase in response to rainfall events, allowing higher transpiration rates than the level that is expected to be achieved under isohydric stomatal control (Oren et al., 1999). In this study, we monitored the sap flux of P.pallida stands with ample access to shallow groundwater and compared the annual transpiration rate .
schemes such as film and transpiration cooling will have to be utilized. Theoretically transpiration cooling is superior to film cooling as shown in reference 4, provided the oxidation problems described below can be over- come.
