and diurnal fluctuations in the water contents and water deficits of Bartlett pear leaves. The results indicated that there was a general reduction in the leaf water content, as calculated on a dry-weight basis, during the growing season. The results also indicated, however, that this reduction was caused by an increase in the dry matter content and not by a decrease in the water component. Minimum water contents and maximum water deficits of pear leaves were observed to occur around 2:00 P.M. each day. Maximum water contents and minimum water deficits were observed around 2:00 A.M. each day. The differences between the diurnal extremes of leaf water content were generally larger early in the growing season, particularly when the leaves were young and succulent. These extremes appeared to be due to inverse changes in both the dry matter and water components. Since the actual amount of water in a leaf may or may not accompany changes in calculated leaf water contents, as indicated by the results of this study, the term "water content" or even "water content on a dry-weight basis" may be somewhat misleading unless the weights of the individual components involved are also considered. The results also indicate that only after leaves reach nearly full size can water deficit changes be related to environmental conditions.
