dc.description.abstractStomatal conductance and transpiration and leaf water potential of rubber (Hevea brasiliensis), clone PB 86, subjected to water stress were measured with a steady-state porometer and a pressure bomb, respectively. In well watered plants young leaves showed a higher stomatal conductance than mature leaves. In water stressed plants young leaves always exhibited a lower stomatal conductance than mature leaves. Increase in soil dehydration reduced the leaf water potential, stomatal conductance and the rate of transpiration.en_US
