Wilting
Wilting also serves to reduce water loss, as it makes the leaves expose less surface area.
The process of wilting modifies the leaf angle distribution of the plant (or canopy) towards more erectophile conditions.
Lower water availability may result from: Wilting diminishes the plant's ability to transpireļ¼reproduce and grow.
[2] In woody plants, reduced water availability leads to cavitation of the xylem.
Wilting is an effect of the plant growth-inhibiting hormone, abscisic acid.
