Abstract

Terahertz spectroscopy makes it possible to investigate the in vivo effects of osmolarity adjustments of Vicia faba due to chloride fertilization with regard to its water balance. We found an increased water throughput, but no change in the maximum rate of water uptake during re-watering.
