摘要
A decrease in steady-state leaf transpiration rate with increased vapour pressure difference between leaf and air, which is reversible and independent of leaf water status, is evidence for feedforward control of stomatal aperture (Cowan 1977), A recent survey of gas exchange data by Monteith (1995), covering 52 sets of measurements on 16 species, reported that evidence for feedforward control was rare and usually reliant on a single point. We conducted gas exchange experiments on an additional 13 species and observed an apparent feedforward response in only two. However, the response was not reversible and depended upon experimental procedure, In view of this we discuss the appropriate use of the term 'feedforward'.
