Interrelationships between p-Coumaric Acid, Evapotranspiration, Soil Water Content, and Leaf Expansion 

 -  J. Chem. Ecol., 32, p.1817-1834, 2006 .
<br/><br/> Increasing concentrations of p-coumaric acid applied to (cucumber seedling)-[Cecil Ap soil-sand mixture (or soil)] systems inhibited evapotranspiration (primarily transpiration)and leaf area expansion of cucumber seedlings and increased soil moisture. Higher soil moisture resulting from the inhibition of evapotranspiration lowered soil solution concentrations of pcoumaric acid by 14 - 40
