Wilting: The loss of rigidity of the non-woody parts of a plant is known as wilting. The fall in the turgor pressure towards zero is the sign of the occurrence of wilting. Wilting is responsible for the decrease in water loss by providing less surface area to the leaves.
Wilting is the defense of the plant against the absence of the water. When there is less amount of water present the leaves of the plant will wilt or roll themselves so that its surface area decreases and therefore the rate of transpiration which takes place through stomata will also decrease which in turn will also decrease the loss of water that is present in the plant.
Wilting is the apparent symptom of loss of more water from the plant through transpiration. Temporary wilting can be reversed by adding water to the soil and using antitranspirants. Permanent wilting shows permanent damage, which cannot be reversed just by restoring the water supply.
Wilting. Dropping of soft parts of the plants due to loss of turgidity in their cells is called wilting. Wilting is caused due o high rate of transpiration during mid-day or deficiency of water in soil and also in prolonged drought condition. Wilting may be temporary or permanent.
It is generally the evaporation of water from the surface of the leaves. During the process of transpiration, water molecules in the plant tissues are removed from the aerial parts of the plants. Only a small amount of water absorbed by the plants is utilised in growth and development. The rest is eliminated in the form of transpiration.
Wilting is the name of the event when non-woody parts of plants lose their rigidity. It occurs when the rate of loss of water from plants is greater than the absorption of water inside the plant which causes drying of the plant.
Wilting is a condition when the amount of water lost from the plant during transpiration is greater the amount of water absorbed from the soil. It is the loss of rigidity of non-woody parts of the plants. This occurs when the turgor pressure in non-lignified plant cells falls towards zero, as a result of diminished water in the cells.
Leaves of some plants wilt during midday and recover in the evening. In some plants, e.g. Balsam, the leaves of the plants wilt during the midday in spite of the fact that there is plenty of water in the soil.
If there is excess water loss from plant during transpiration, than is available in soil, the leaf cells lose turgidity and leaves droop down. This is called as wilting of plant. Thus, excessive transpiration causes plants to wilt.
There is no definite solution, to be honest. On the safe side, one can assume that if something can reproduce, it can be called alive or a living being. Birds, insects, animals, trees, human beings, are a few examples of living things as they have the same characteristic features, like eating, breathing, reproduction, growth, and development, etc.
