Physiological means of minimizing water loss in plants
- Some rise the osmotic pressure of their roots e.g. taking up salts from the soil actively to increase the rate of water uptake to replace water lost
- Some leaves reverse stomata rhythms closing stomata during day and open them at night
- Some concentrate abscisic acid in their leaves to induce stomata closure during hot day.
- Some close the stomata during bright light to reduce transpiration
