Introduction Water potential (Ψ w, psi), which is a measure of the energy state of water is affected by dissolved solutes, pressure and matrix particles. The contribution to water potential by dissolved solutes, termed osmotic potential (Ψ s ), is always negative in sign. In other words, solutes decrease the water potential. The contribution of pressure (Ψ p) may be positive, negative or zero, but is generally positive since most plant cells are turgid (turgor pressure). The contribution due to the binding of water to colloidal particles (matric) and surfaces, termed matric potential (Ψ m), also lowers the water potential. Although it is often small enough to be ignored, matrix potential is important when considering soil water relations. Thus, the water potential of a plant system can be arithmetically represented by the equation: Ψ w = Ψ s + Ψ p + Ψ m In this lab we will use the and techniques to determine the water potential (Ψ w) of a potato tuber cells.

We will determine the solute potential (Ψ s ) by the Method. Pressure in the cells can be arithmetically calculated once Ψ s and Ψ w are known. If time permits, we will also measure the water conductivity of potato tubers, determine the Q10 for water transport into potatoes and prepare a Hofler diagram.
