Is it possible to block the plants transpiration and what phenomenon would be disturbed?

Question

I cant find any anwers!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Yes, transpiration can be blocked.

This website gives definitions for products that can be used to prevent water loss:

One of the four major theories of upward transport in a stem (specifically in the xylem tissue)  is "transpiration pull/cohesion tension." What this means is that water loss from a leaf by transpiration is replaced by water molecules behind it. Because of transpiration, water is "pulled" up the stem of a plant.

Therefore, blocking transpiration would disturb the rise of water

going up the stem into the leaves.

To a lesser degree, here's another phenomenon that would

be disturbed: EVAPORATION of water from transpiration causes COOLING This is significant in forest areas. A large maple tree losses up to 50 gallons of water due to transpiration on a hot day. Besides shade, this is another reason why forest areas are cooler than areas without trees.
