%X The dry weight and water contents data are considered for the individual laminae and petioles of the first eight leaves of tomatoes subjected to a brief period of wilting after they had developed eight easily manipulable leaves. The aim was to obtain a better understanding of the response previously described for the whole plant, by studying the growth of organs which were at various stages of development when treatments were imposed.
