Various kinds of measurement of tissue water status were madeseveral times during water stress and recovery in Brassica juncea(cv Canadian Black) and B napus (cv Drakkar) Unstressed plantsof the two species had similar leaf water potentials (w), solute(s) and turgor potentials (p) Values of relative water content(RWC) and the slope of the linear relationship between p andRWC (p/RWC) were greater in B napus than in B juncea Statistical correlations of pooled data for the watered andstressed treatments differentiated the relationships among RWC,w and its components in the two species The major statisticaldifference was that p/RWC was related to RWC in B napus andto w and s in B juncea A decline in p/RWC with decreasing sin B juncea may be a mechanism for maintaining p at low soilwater potentials through maintenance of more elastic cell walls.

The pressure-volume technique was employed to compare waterrelations and moisture stress-induced osmotic adjustment ofPeriwinkle (Catharanthus roseus) cv. Pink (PC), Oscillatus (REC)and White (WC). Leaf water potential (w), osmotic potential(s), turgor potential (p), bulk modulus of elasticity (), boundwater (RWCw) and leaf hydration (H), were estimated by exposingthe plants to a drying cycle during which well watered plantswere dehydrated to zero turgor, and then irrigated. Osmoticadjustment (w 100) was calculated by comparing a at full hydration(a 100) in stressed plants after recovery, with a 100 in controlplants. Values of 2100 were 0.76, 0.33 and 0.11 MPa in cv. PC,REC and WC, respectively. Maintenance of p at lower 3 and relativeleaf water content (RWC) in prestressed PC was attributableto a higher alkaloid content and greater leaf cell wall elasticity.RWCW was plotted against p to determine its contribution tohydration maintenance at lower p. Genotype PC showed greaterRWCw at lower p compared with REC and WC. The present studyhas demonstrated that there are cultivar differences in alkaloidaccumulation and water relations in acclimated plants and thatthe relative ranking for drought resistance within periwinkleappeared to correspond with the changes in osmotic properties.

Wilting of leaves of Vicia faba L., which occurs when the pressurepotential (p) is zero, and the leaf-water potential () at wiltingboth depend entirely upon the solute potential at incipientplasmolysis (so) and not on soil-water status. Wilting in V.faba is acropetal; this is consistent with the hypothesis thatthere is a gradient of decreasing so up the plant and that wateris transferred from the lower to the upper leaves, hasteningthe overall water loss from the lower leaves to the point whenp is zero. The gradient in so up the plant is of the order of3–8 bar. It is proposed that wilting when p>0 (i.e. > so) shouldbe ‘apparent wilting’ and that when p0 (i.e. so),‘true wilting’.  相似文献

Water stress was imposed by withholding water at an early vegetativestage from plants of two rice cultivars (IR20 and 63–83)grown in pots. As stress intensified the following sequenceof responses of the leaves was observed: (i) rise in abscisicacid (ABA) content, (ii) closure of stomata, (iii) initiationof leaf rolling. In both cultivars, turgor (p) declined linearly with total waterpotential () of the leaf. Bulk leaf ABA content increased linearlyas p declined, and attained twice the control (unstressed) levelfollowing a reduction in p of about 0.12 MPa. Stomatal conductance exhibited a sigmoidal relationship to p,declining abruptly when a particular ‘critical’p was reached (threshold response). The critical potentialsvaried considerably between experiments, but were closely correlatedwith control potentials and with the potentials at which ABAconcentration doubled relative to controls. Leaf rolling was initiated at s near to zero p. Increases inthe ratio of adaxial to abaxial conductance were associatedwith rolling. Variations in the above responses could be accounted for byvariations in the rate of stress development, which in termsof reduction ranged from 0.38 to 0.86 MPa day–1. Fastdrying rates resulted in: (a) reduced osmotic adjustment, (b)increased amounts of ABA in the leaf at a given level of orp, (c) an increase in the ABA concentration present at 50 percent stomatal closure, and (d) initiation of leaf rolling ata higher .

The water content and osmotic potential (2) of the differentparts of the pea fruit have been measured during developmentof the seed in two lines near-isogenic except for the r locus.During the early development of both genotypes, the testa possesseda more negative 2 than either embryo, endosperm or pod while,at stages when liquid endosperm was present, the embryo alwaysmaintained 2, more negative than the endosperm. A clear effectof the r locus on water content and 2 was only observed in embryotissue — wrinkled (rr) embryos possessing more water andmaintaining a more negative 2 than round (RR) for most of thedevelopmental period studied. The more negative 2 of wrinkledembryos correlated with their greater uptake of water in vivo. When cultured in vitro, the embryos of both genotypes showedmaximum growth (fresh or dry weight) if 10 per cent sucrosewas added to the medium (equivalent to about — 1.2 MPa).Round embryos, however, increased in weight more than wrinkledat all sucrose concentrations examined. Cultured embryos maintaineda similar or more negative 2 than their surrounding medium;wrinkled more negative than round.

Thomas, H. 1987. Physiological responses to drought of Loliumperenne L.: Measurement of, and genetic variation in, waterpotential, solute potential, elasticity and cell hydration.—J.exp. Bot. 38: 115–125. Clonally-replicated genotypes of Loiium perenne L. were grownin a controlled environment. Leaf water potential (w) osmoticpotential (s), turgor potential (p = ws), elasticity(E), leaf hydration (g water per g dry matter, H) and numberof green leaves per tiller (NGL) were measured before and duringa 42 d drought treatment. A simplified method of estimating E (at w < 1?0 MPa) usingonly six measurements was developed to permit a measurementrate of 8 leaves per hour. Measurement errors in all characterswere 3% or less. During drought, w and s (at w = 0?5 MPa) decreased significantly,p and E increased significantly, and H decreased slightly. Plantsize during drought was negatively correlated with s, and Hand positively correlated with p, osmotic adjustment, E andNGL. Measurements made on the genotypes before draughting didnot give a reliable indication of their physiological conditionafter adaptation to drought. Genetically controlled variation (‘broad sense heritability’)of drought-adapted plants for E was 15%, w 23%, s, 34%, p, 35%,H 34% and NGL 64%. The possibilities for, and effectivenessof, divergent selection of genotypes with high and low expressionof the characters are discussed.

Water relations characteristics of potato (Solanum tuberosumL. cv. Bintje) leaves were determined from pressure—volumeanalysis using a pressure chamber. Turgor was 077 MPa and thebulk volumetric modulus of elasticity 81 MPa at full turgidity;turgor loss occurred when water potential () had declined to–087 MPa at a relative water content (RWC) of 0912;the apoplastic water fraction (A) was 0235. As is usually found,there was a linear relation between 1/ and RWC beyond turgorloss. This finding supports the assumptions of the constancyof A during leaf dehydration. Beyond turgor loss the difference between and [measured afterfreezing and thawing (d)] was about 01 MPa. This differencedid not increase as the leaf water content decreased. This resultcontradicts the constancy of A. It was concluded from calculations with a simple model of leafdehydration that analysis of the relation between and d providesmore insight in the changes in the apoplastic fraction thanthe relation between 1/ and RWC. Research on the size of theapoplastic fraction and its changes with water potential wouldcomplement current understanding of leaf water relations.

Sitka spruce[Picea sitchensis(Bong.) Carr] seedlings were subjectedto varying degrees of root damage in a growth room, rangingfrom careful transplanting to exposure of the root system toair for up to 3 h. After replanting, transpiration (E), leafwater potential (1) and growth of the shoot and root were measuredand observations made on plant survival. Some plants in the root exposure treatments died 20–85days after planting. In plants which eventually died, E wasdepressed directly after treatment, but 1 showed a variableresponse. In some plants 1 decreased from —8·0x 105 to —30 x 105 Pa after only 10 days but in othersthere was little change in 1 for 50 days. In spite of the maintenanceof a high water potential in some of the latter plants for longperiods, no root or shoot growth occurred. In plants which lived, the root damage reduced root and shootgrowth relative to untreated controls, and most treatments stronglydepressed E but had little or no effect on 1. The changes of E and 1 in treated plants suggest that the suppressionof E was often independent of 1 although water stress eventuallydeveloped in some of the severely treated plants.

Water-relations parameters were measured on sections of secondaryphloem from red oak (Quercus borealis michx. f.) and white ash(Fraxinus americana var. biltmoreana [Beadle] J. Wright) usinga linear displacement transducer. Changes in tissue thicknessin response to changes in the osmotic pressure of the bathingsolution were used to calculate the volumetric elastic modulusplus osmotic pressure (v + ) of the tissue, and an applied forcemethod was used to estimate the time constant for water equilibration(T). The hydraulic conductivity of the cell membranes (Lp) wascalculated utilizing v + and r values. The time-dependent behaviour of the tissue was much more complexthan originally expected. A correction for a time-dependentprocess that we call ‘drift’ was required to obtainnumbers for v + . Furthermore, v + was calculated on two assumptionsin order to relate changes in tissue dimensions to sieve elementparameters. In the first case, a lower limit for v + of thesieve elements was determined by attributing all changes intissue dimensions to these cells. For red oak the average v+ on this assumption is 72 bars. Assuming that all cell typeswere equally responsible for the changes in tissue dimensionsresulted in an v + value of 192 bars for oak. If v + and rare the same for all cells in the tissue, Lp for the sieve elementsof oak is 9.6 x 10–8 cm s–1 bar–1. Exudationfrom the sieve elements of white ash during excision of thephloem led to artificially high values of v + for that species.

Winter wheat and winter barley were tested for their photochemicaland osmotic potentials during the course of one growth cyclein the field. Prolonged winter conditions induced an absolutehigh in potential net photosynthesis (PN) of winter wheat. Barleyexhibited relatively low PN rates, which may explain the inferiorfrost hardiness of this species. Osmotic potentials () in bothspecies were quite similar, followed rather uniform trends andwere never extreme. There are doubts, however, whether the assessments truly reflected the osmotic stress on cell membranesin frost-hardened leaves. Increased deposition of cryoprotective assimilates in wheatas the cause of continued frost hardiness is discussed.

Seed germination rates (GR =inverse of time to germination)are sensitive to genetic, environmental, and physiological factors.We have compared the GR of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.)seeds of cultivar T5 to those of rapidly germinating L. esculentumgenotypes PI 341988 and PI 120256 over a range of water potential(). The influence of seed priming treatments and removal ofthe endosperm/testa cap enclosing the radicle tip on germinationat reduced were also assessed. Germination time-courses atdifferent 's were analysed according to a model that identifieda base, or minimum, allowing germination of a specific percentage(g) of the seed population (b(g)), and a ‘hydrotime constant’(H) indicating the rate of progress toward germination per MPa.h.The distribution of b(g) determined by probit analysis was characterizedby a mean base (b) and the standard deviation in b among seeds(b). The three derived parameters, b, b) and H, were sufficientto predict the time-courses of germination of intact seeds atany . A normalized time-scale for comparing germination responsesto reduced is introduced. The time to germination at any (tg())can be normalized to be equivalent to that observed in water(tg(0)) according to the equation tg(0)=[l–(/b(g))]tg().PI 341988 seeds were more tolerant of reduced and had a morerapid GR than T5 seeds due to both a lower b and a smaller H.The rapid germination of PI 120256, on the other hand, couldbe attributed entirely to a smaller H. Seed priming (6 d in–1.2 MPa polyethylene glycol 8000 solution at 20 ?C followedby drying) increased GR at all >b(g), but did not lower theminimum allowing germination; i.e. priming reduced H withoutlowering b. Removing the endosperm/testa cap (cut seeds) markedlyincreased GR and lowered the mean required to inhibit germinationby 0.7 to 0.9 MPa. However, this resulted primarily from downwardadjustment in b during the incubation of cut seeds at low inthe test solutions. The difference in b between intact and cutseeds incubated at high was much less (0.l MPa), indicatingthat at the time of radicle protrusion, the endosperm had weakenedto the point where it constituted only a small mechanical barrier.In the intact seed, endosperm weakening and the downward adjustmentin embryo b ceased at < –0.6 MPa, while the reductionin H associated with priming proceeded down to at least –1.2MPa. Based on these data and on the pressure required to pushthe embryos from the seeds at various times after imbibition,it appears that the primary effect of priming was to shortenthe time required for final endosperm weakening to occur. However,as priming increased GR even in cut seeds, priming effects onthe embryo may control the rate of endosperm weakening.

Land plants encountering low water potentials (low w) closetheir stomata, restricting CO2 entry and potentially photosynthesis.To determine the impact of stomatal closure, photosyntheticO2 evolution was investigated in leaf discs from sunflower (Helianthusannuus L.) plants after removing the lower epidermis at loww. Wounding was minimal as evidenced by O2 evolution nearlyas rapid as that in intact discs. O2 evolution was maximal in1 % CO2 in the peeled discs and was markedly inhibited whenw was below –1·1 MPa. CO2 entered readily at allw, as demonstrated by varying the CO2 concentration. Resultswere the same whether the epidermis was removed before or afterlow w was imposed. Due to the lack of an epidermis and readymovement of CO2 through the mesophyll, the loss in O2 evolvingactivity was attributed entirely to photosynthetic metabolism.Intact leaf discs showed a similar loss in activity when measuredat a CO2 concentration of 5 %, which supported maximum O2 evolutionat low w. In 1 % CO2, however, O2 evolution at low w was belowthe maximum, presumably because stomatal closure restrictedCO2 uptake. The inhibition was larger than in peeled discs atw between –1 and –1·5 MPa but became thesame as in peeled discs at lower w. Therefore, as photosynthesisbegan to be inhibited by metabolism at low w, stomatal closureadded to the inhibition. As w became more negative, the inhibitionbecame entirely metabolic.  相似文献

Plants derived from Lolium perenne L. cv. ‘Melle’were selected on the basis of extreme high or low lamina solutepotential (s) and pair-crossed to produce divergent G2 lines.The high and low lines had mean lamina s values significantlydifferent from each other and from ‘Melle’, andshowed an enhanced range of phenotypic expression of s duringdrought. Both mature lamina s and meristem s values of droughtedplants were highly heritable. Extreme G2 genotypes were selectedand clonally replicated for further study. During drought mean 2 values fell from –1·21 to–1·80 MPa. Fructans of large molecular weight,and total free amino acids, especially proline, all accumulatedwhen estimated on a dry-matter (DM) or plant-water (PW) basis.Oligosaccharide content was largely unchanged. Minerals declinedwhen estimated on a DM basis but accumulated on a PW basis becausehydration (g water in turgid tissue per g DM) declined morerapidly. In comparison with genotypes having high constitutive s, low-sgenotypes (a) were larger, had faster leaf extension rate, hadfewer tillers, and were proportionally more affected by drought,(b) showed greater osmotic adjustment, (c) contained and accumulatedmuch more fructan (but not oligosaccharides), and amino acids,especially proline, and (d) accumulated more mineral ions ona PW basis, but less on a DM basis. The relatively high repeatabilitiesfor organic solutes in particular show that further divergentselection for individual solutes would not be difficult. Solutes accumulated, probably because they were not consumedin growth. There was no evidence of ‘competition’between growth and osmotic adjustment for metabolites, or thatplants which accumulated more solutes were better able to recoverwhen water deficits were relieved.

The effects of a period of water stress (drought conditioning)on responses to a second (challenge) stress were examined inyoung vegetative rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants. Drought conditioningdid not affect the rate of subsequent stress development, nor,in a first experiment, did it influence relations between turgor(p) and total () leaf water potential. However, conditioningdid extend the range of p over which stomata remained open andsignificantly reduced the amount of ABA which accumulated inthe leaf at a given p. The change in stomatal behaviour (stomataladjustment) was quantitatively accounted for by the change inleaf ABA accumulation. The reduction in ABA accumulation due to conditioning did notinvolve a change in the potential capacity to produce ABA, asABA accumulation in partially dehydrated detached leaves wasnot reduced by conditioning. It is suggested that effects ofconditioning on leaf ABA content in the intact plant involvechanges in the rate of ABA export from the leaf.

Legge, N. J. 1985. Water movement from soil to root investigatedthrough simultaneous measurement of soil and stem water potentialin potted trees.—J. exp. Bot. 36: 1583–1589. Osmotic tensiometers implanted in the stems of three mountainash (Eucalyptus regnans F. Muell.) saplings growing in largeplastic bins recorded stem water potential, w, while soil waterpotential, w, was simultaneously recorded by instruments nearthe trees' roots and in the surrounding root-free soil Earlyin a drying cycle, with the soil still wet, the diurnal variationin 1, was often slight, despite diurnal variations in u approaching2.0 M Pa. Late in a drying cycle the diurnal fluctuations in1, and u were very similar although changes in 1, still laggedup to 1.5 h behind changes in u. 1values at this time occasionallyreached –3.0 MPa with no apparent damage to the treesWatering the bins in daytime led to a response in 1, valueswithin about 5 min, whereas u, values did not respond for afurther 20 min. u values then rose rapidly but after only 1h began to decline again, while 1, values remained at or nearsaturation for the rest of the day.

An equation is derived expressing average turgor pressure ofa leaf (p) as a function of relative water content (RWC). Basedon this derivation, the relationships of the bulk elastic modulus(v) and both RWC and p, are formulated and discussed. The bulkelastic modulus (v) becomes zero for p = 0, that is at the turgorloss point for the leaf. At full water saturation the valueof ev is proportional to the water saturation turgor potentialp(max). The factor relating P and v (structure coefficient ,Burstrom, Uhrstr?m and Olausson, 1970) changes only very littlefor values of p, which are not too close to zero. An exampleis given for the calculation from experimental data of the turgorpressure function, the structure coefficient function, and thev function.

Changes in components of leaf water potential during soil waterdeficits influence many physiological processes. Research resultsfocusing on these changes during desiccation of peanut (Arachishypogeae L.) leaves are apparently not available. The presentstudy was conducted to examine the relationships of leaf waterl, solute s and turgor p potentials, and percent relative watercontent (RWC) of peanut leaves during desiccation of detachedleaves and also during naturally occurring soil moisture deficitsin the field. The relationship of p to l and RWC was evaluated by calculatingp from differences in l and s determined by thermocouple psychrometryand by constructing pressure-volume (P-V) curves from the land RWC measurements. Turgor potentials of ‘Early Bunch’and ‘Florunner’ leaves decreased to zero at l of–1.2 to –1.3 MPa and RWC of 87%. There were no cultivardifferences in the l at which p became zero. P-V curves indicatedthat the error of measuring s after freezing due to dilutionof the cellular constituents was small but resulted in artefactualnegative p values. Random measurements on two dates of l, s, and calculation ofp from well-watered and water-stressed field plots consistingof several genotypes indicated that zero p occurred at l of–1.6 MPa. It was concluded that the relationships of p,l, s, and RWC of peanut leaves were similar to leaves of othercrops and that these relationships conferred no unique droughtresistance mechanism to peanut.  相似文献

Data from pressure-volume (PV) analysis may be submitted totransformation I [i.e. leaf water potential (1) versus inverserelative water content (1/R)] or to transformation II (i.e.1/1 versus R). This may cause an essential distortion of theerror structure especially in transformation II due to the relativelylarge range which is to be covered by the 1/1 ratio. Similarly,logarithmic transformation of leaf turgor potential (P) whenderiving the sensitivity factor of elasticity (ß)by linear regression from values of In p and 1/R may distortthe error structure. In order to investigate the magnitude ofthe distortion effect on parameters derived from PV analysisby regression a non-linear regression procedure was comparedwith the common linear procedure when calculating p from ßin the turgid region and leaf osmotic potential (P) in boththe turgid and non-turgid region. As test plants we used fieldgrown species of spring barley (Hordeum distichum L., cvs Gunnarand Alis). The results show that transformations and applicationof linear regression procedures distort the error structureof p more than the error structure of ', which was only slightlyaffected. However, we recommend the use of the non-linear procedurein both cases. Furthermore, from PV analysis, obtained by thermocouple hygrometryon living and killed leaf tissue, respectively, we derived themathematical basis for calculating the apoplastic water fraction(Ra). Ra was 0.15 at R= 1 and decreased with dehydration. The equations describing the relation between and R and betweenp and R were extended to take into account the apoplastic waterfraction.

Attached 2-month-old roots of the succulent plant, Opuntia ficus-indica,shrank 0.4% radially during periods of maximal transpirationunder wet conditions. In contrast, reversible decreases in diameterof nearly 20% occurred for these roots as their ambient waterpotential () in the vapour phase decreased from –0.01to –10 MPa over 8 d, the changes being slightly more rapidat 40 °C than at 10 °C. Such substantial diameter changesbecame progressively less with root age, from a 43% decreasein diameter at 3 weeks to a 6% decrease at 12 months Root shrinkagewas slight when was decreased from –0.01 to –0.3MPa, the latter being similar to the root water potential.As was further decreased from –0.3 to –10 MPa,water movement out of cortical cells caused considerable rootshrinkage. The root hydraulic conductivity (Lp) decreased only30 to 60% for a change in from –0.01 to –10 MPacompared with a decrease of over 106-fold for the soil hydraulicconductivity over this range. The overall conductivity of thesoil, the root-soil air gap, and the root was predicted to bedominated by Lp for soil above –0.3 MPa. As simulatedsoil decreased below –0.3 MPa, the root-soil air gap initiallybecame the primary limiter of water loss from the roots. Below–5 MPa for 1-month-old roots and below –2 MPa for12-month-old roots, the soil became the main limiter of waterloss. Thus, water uptake from wet soils apparently was mainlycontrolled by root properties Water loss to drying soils wascontrolled by the development of a root-soil air gap aroundshrinking roots during the initial phase of soil drying andby the reduction of the soil hydraulic conductivity at evenlower soil.
