Decreases by far. The wilting means there hasn't been much water added to the plant, so without the water the Photosynthesis doesn't exactly keep itself up. So the rate of Photosynthesis is about the same as the rate of being watered.

∙ 13y agoIt depends on the conditions - If the factors causing photosynthesis (temperature, amount of CO2, etc) increase, then so will the rate of photosynthesis (to an extent).

What could happen if transpiration rate is greater than absorption rate?
You will create a soil moisture deficit as more water is being lost from the soil than is entering it. This will increase soil suction, which will make it more difficult for plant roots to take up water (this will reduce transpiration) and can effect plant growth. Plant may respond by closing the stoma on their leaves to reduce transpiration to prevent this. If however the pore water suction continues to increase it may exceed the permanent wilting point of the plant which can ultimately result in the plant dying.
Would a plant still grow at the light compensation point?
Yes, a plant can still grow at the light compensation point. The light compensation point is the level of light intensity at which the rate of photosynthesis equals the rate of respiration in a plant. At this point, the plant is able to produce enough energy through photosynthesis to sustain its growth and metabolic processes.
What happens when a plant receives more light energy than it's composition point?
Plants can store the excess of energy or use it to growth.
What are auxins and why are they important in plants?
Auxins are chemicals exist in plants to stimulate growth. When sunlight hits one side of the stem of a plant, the auxins move away and down from the sunlight. This causes the 'dark' side of the stem to grow faster than the 'lighted' side, which causes the stem to lean towards the source of the light.
Will the amount of water fed to a plant affect plant growth?
Yes, plants with a small supply of water will often grow very slowly. They also tend to have smaller leaves as approximately 90% of the water absorbed by a plant is lost through evaporation through the the leaves. Hydrogen in water is mixed with carbon dioxide in the air to make carbohydrates, food for the plants. Little water means little food so generally, plants with a plentiful supply of water will grow faster and stronger (assuming they have adequate levels of sunlight) it helps plants grow
What do you mean by permanent wilting point?
The permanent wilting point is the minimum point of soil moisture that a plant requires so that it does not wilt.
How to determine PLANT available water?
You take the difference in the water content between field capacity and wilting point
At what point in the growth stage is the plant considered a seedling?
At point of germination
What is the effect of vinegar on plant growth?
Detrimental and fatal are the effects of vinegar on plant growth.Specifically, vinegar is acidic. Acetic acid keeps plants from absorbing available nutrients and water. In sufficient amounts, it also lowers soil pH to the point that available nutrients become inaccessible for intake -- for distribution upwards -- by the plant's roots.

What percentage of water-holding capacity in the soil is best for monst plant growth?
Simple answer is that it depends on the soil, but 70-90% will be ok for most soils. However, don't use % WHC as it is a poorly defined parameter. I will use the example of a loam soil and a clay soil to show why. If I take a loam soil to say 70% WHC, it may have a matric potential (i.e. water stress in the soil) of -50 kPa, which is perfectly fine for plant growth. A clay soil taken to the same %WHC may have a matric potential of -1500 kPa, which is the wilting point for plants.
Would a plant still grow at the light compensation point?
Yes, a plant can still grow at the light compensation point. The light compensation point is the level of light intensity at which the rate of photosynthesis equals the rate of respiration in a plant. At this point, the plant is able to produce enough energy through photosynthesis to sustain its growth and metabolic processes.
How does thunderstorm and lightning effect plant growth?
It can have a number of effects. It can leave trace scars. It can also explode a tree from a central point in the trunk. Sending splinters everywhere. It can leave a scare from the top of the trunk to base of trunk.
What happens when a plant receives more light energy than it's composition point?
Plants can store the excess of energy or use it to growth.
What are effects in power point?
There are large number of effects in power point. These effects provide the animation to the slide.
What is the soil type for timber pile?
A timber pile is not soil, it's a pile of timber.If a substance does not support plant growth or have the capability of supporting plant growth, it is not soil.If the timber pile decomposes to a point where the remaining organic matter can support plant growth, it would be considered an organic soil, provided the layer of organic matter was thick enough. Organic soils are known as Histosols in US Soil Taxonomy.
