Temporal dynamics of stomatal conductance of plants under water deficit: can homeostasis be improved by more complex dynamics?

In this study we hypothesized that chaotic or complex behavior of stomatal conductance could improve plant homeostasis after water deficit. Stomatal conductance of sunflower and sugar beet leaves was measured in plants grown either daily irrigation or under water deficit using an infrared gas analyz...
