Effects of ammonium nutrition on water stress, water uptake, and root pressure in Lycopersicon esculentum Mill
Ammonium (NH4 +) nutrition inhibits water uptake and root exudation and decreases leaf water potential of tomato plants grown in solution culture. This inhibition is readily reversible by NO3 - for short term exposures to NH4 +; however, recovery is delayed following long term exposures.
