conductance

(kənˈdʌktəns)
n
(General Physics) the ability of a system to conduct electricity, measured by the ratio of the current flowing through the system to the potential difference across it; the reciprocal of resistance. It is measured in reciprocal ohms, mhos, or siemens. Symbol: G

con•duct•ance

(kənˈdʌk təns)

n.
(esp. in alternating current) the conducting power of a conductor, equal to the real part of the admittance, and, in a circuit with no reactance, equal to the reciprocal of the resistance. Symbol: G

In other hand, under prolonged water deficit condition, plants decrease stomatal conductance (gs) by change in stomatal size and/or stomatal density(SD) (Doheny-Adams et al., 2012; Franks et al., 2012).Stomatal conductance is potentially one of the most significant physiological characters to improve adaptation to drought for selecting a particular pattern of stomatal behavior (Blumet al., 1981; Henzell et al., 1975).Increasing stomatal density improves maximum potential conductance (Franks et al., 2009).
