Abstract
The growth potential of a plant is ultimately determined by its genetic make up. The environment, however, plays a major role. firing the extent to which the growth potential is expressed. Water, a major component of the environment, influences virtually all physiological processes, and constitutes one of the most important limiting factors in plant life . Much of the genetic expression for growth of a plant can be determined by the relative abundance of water in the growing medium.
