L'eau absorbée par les racines est conduite aux feuilles d'où, mise à part une petite fraction qui entre dans la composition de la sève élaborée, elle s'évapore dans l'atmosphère. [...] Cette émission d'eau à l'état de vapeur se nomme transpiration. Elle se distingue de la guttation ou émission d'eau sous forme de gouttelettes qui apparaissent le soir au bord de certaines feuilles (blé, tomate, capucine), et qui est d'importance secondaire. 5, record 4, French, - guttation
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
La guttation se produit lorsque l'absorption l'emporte sur la transpiration. Contrairement à la transpiration qui est un phénomène physique passif, la guttation comme l'absorption met en jeu un processus métabolique; elle est donc biologiquement active. 4, record 4, French, - guttation
