The solute (or osmotic) potential is always negative, but the pressure potential can be either negative or positive. Give an example of a situation in a plant where water potential is negative and one where it is positive.

The accumulation of compatible solutes (for example proline) is a major acclimation response of plants to water deficit.

Ć¢Ā€Ā¢ Describe how compatible solutes alter the water potential of plant cells.

Ć¢Ā€Ā¢ Develop a time course of response of the major components of water potential during a drydown cycle in the soil and plant root and postulate potential changes in proline concentrations in the cytoplasm, cell Ys and Yp, and the expression of aquaporins.
