Leaf Water Potential Response to Transpiration by Citrus 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
This paper reports on further studies of a model for interpreting leaf water potential data for Citrus. Experimental data confirmed the assumption that the ratio of vapor pressure deficit to leaf diffusion resistance adequately estimates transpiration when leaf-to-air temperature differences are small. Data collected diurnally indicated that the relationship between leaf water potential and transpiration followed a sequence of steady states without hysteresis. No difference in water transport characteristics was found for Valencia orange on three rootstocks in well-watered soil, but the two rootstocks Cleopatra mandarin and Rangpur gave slightly greater leaf water stress in Valencia orange leaves than‘Troyer’ citrange rootstock at high transpiration rates under mild soil water deficits. In laboratory studies, previously unstressed seedlings had higher leaf water potentials than field trees at equivalent transpiration rates. After several drying cycles, however, leaf water potentials were similar to those observed in the field. 相似文献

Responses of Soybean Leaf Angle, Photosynthesis and Stomatal Conductance to Leaf and Soil Water Potential 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The hypothesis that soil water potential (s) is better correlatedto heliotropic leaf orientation, photosaturated photosyntheticCO2 assimilation and stomatal conductance during periods oflimited water availability than is bulk leaf water potential(1) was examined in greenhouse-grown soybean (Glycine max) plants,submitted to a progressive drought. Paired plants were exposedto either 1000 or 100 µmol m2 s1 photonflux densities (PFD) for 4560 mins. The higher irradianceinduced short-term decreases in 1, due to increased transpiration,while l in the plant exposed to low PFD did not decrease. Thesechanges in 1 occurred independently of changes in soil waterstatus. Concurrent to the light treatments, a single attachedleaf from each of the two plants was isolated from the restof the plant by shading, and the pulvinus of its terminal leafletwas exposed to a perpendicular PFD of 500 µmol m2S1. Leaf movement of this leaflet was recorded in responseto this light, until a stable leaflet angle was achieved. Valuesof s and l (before and after light treatment), and photosaturatedrates of photosynthesis and stomatal conductance, were thenmeasured on these leaves. Leaflet angle and gas exchange werebetter correlated with s (r2 = 0.50, 0.50 and 0.57 for angle,photosynthesis and conductance, respectively) than with l especiallywhen l was the result of short-term, high-light induced changesin leaf water status (r2 = 0.36, 0.32 and 0.49, for the sameparameters). Leaflet angle was also correlated with stomatalconductance (r2 = 0.61) and photosynthetic rate (r2 = 0.60),suggesting a close association between leaf orientation, leafmetabolism and soil water availability.

Changes in photosynthesis (A) and carbohydrate partitioning were studied for Encelia farinosa, a common C3 desert shrub in the southwestern United States, after a 3-month exposure to the current or a doubled CO2 concentration (750 [mu]L L-1). A remained unchanged under the current CO2 concentration but decreased during the day under the doubled CO2 concentration, resulting in a 46% enhancement in the early morning, 26% at midday, and 15% in the late afternoon by the elevated CO2. The decrease during the day under the doubled CO2 concentration may represent end-product inhibition, because the sucrose and the starch contents increased during the day proportionally more than under the current CO2 concentration. The 14CO2 activity in sink leaves was maximal 3 h after labeling under the doubled and at 5 h under the current CO2 concentration, indicating faster movement of photosynthate out of source leaves and into sink tissues under the doubled CO2 concentration, which may have been responsible for the sustained enhancement in A under the doubled CO2 concentration. 相似文献

Summary The effects of leaf hairs (pubescence) on leaf spectral characteristics were measured for the drought-deciduous desert shrub Encelia farinosa. Leaf absorptance to solar radiation is diminished by the presence of pubescence. The pubescence appears to be reflective only after the hairs have dried out. There are seasonal changes in leaf absorptance; leaves produced at the beginning of a growing season have high absorptances, whereas leaves produced during the growing season are more pubescent and have lower absorptances. The decrease in leaf absorptance is the result of an increase in pubescence density and thickness. Between 400 and 700 nm (visible wavelengths), pubescence serves as a blanket reflector. However, over the entire solar spectrum (400–3000 nm), the pubescence preferentially reflects near infrared radiation (700–3000 nm) over photosynthetically useful solar radiation (400–700 nm). Leaf absorptance to solar radiation (400–3000 nm) varies between 46 and 16%, depending on pubescence; whereas leaf absorptance to photosynthetically useful radiation (400–700 nm) may vary from 81 to 29%.C.I.W.-D.P.B.

Leaf Elongation in Relation to Leaf Water Potential in Soybean 总被引:13,自引:2,他引:11
Leaf water potential, turgor pressure, and leaf elongation ratewere measured in soybeans growing in controlled environmentchambers, greenhouses, and outdoors. Plants in chambers hadthe highest water potentials and turgor pressures, and plantsoutdoors the lowest. In all three environments there was a linearrelationship between elongation rate and turgor pressure. Leavesof plants in drier environments required less turgor for elongation,and showed a greater increase in elongation rate per unit increasein turgor. Elongation rates over a 72 h period were equal inthe three environments. Leaves reached the largest final sizein the greenhouse (intermediate in water potential). Epidermalcells were larger in chamber- and greenhouse-grown leaves thanin leaves of plants grown outdoors. The number of epidermalcells per leaf was greater in the greenhouse and outdoors thanin the chamber. Leaf elongation characteristics of greenhouseplants were duplicated by mildly stressing chamber plants, andleaf elongation characteristics of field plants were duplicatedby more severely stressing chamber plants. Leaves of mildlystressed chamber plants also reached a larger final size thanleaves of more severely stressed chamber plants, or leaves ofcontrol plants in the chamber. Water stress in the chamber increasedthe number of epidermal cells per leaf. More severe water stressin the chamber reduced epidermal cell size. Based on the waterstress experiments it is concluded that the differences in plantwater status in the chamber, greenhouse, and field caused differencesin elongation characteristics, and were responsible for thedifferences in leaf size. 相似文献

Soybeans [Glycine max (L.) Merrill cv. Wayne] plants were subjected to an extended drying cycle in the field to investigate the leaf sensitivity to water deficits. Soybeans in irrigated plots were superior to those in non-irrigated plots in the average size and number of leaflets per plant. Apparent differences in the leaf area distributions in the canopy seemed to be mediated by moisture stress effects associated with leaf senescence and light penetration in the lower depths of the canopy. A major decrease in leaf enlargement occurred near a leaf-water potential of -8 bars, and at - 12 bars, the growth was completely halted. Similar decreases were observed at a stomatal conductance of 0.4 cm/s and at 0.2 cm/s no enlargement was observed. 相似文献

Summary An experiment was conducted to assess the importance of intraspecific competition on water relations, growth and reproductive output in Encelia farinosa, a common deciduous-leaved shrub of the Sonoran Desert. Nearest neighbor analyses in monospecific stands indicated that plants exhibited a clumped distribution. Plant size and nearest neighbor distance were positively correlated, inferring intraspecific competition. Removal experiments monitored for two years indicated that plants now without neighbors had higher leaf water potentials, higher leaf conductances, and a greater leaf area than control plants. As a consequence, growth rates and reproductive output were significantly higher in plants without neighbors. These data strongly support the notion that warm desert plants with a contagious spatial distribution compete for water. 相似文献

Electron transport in chloroplasts isolated from desiccated sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. cv. Russian Mammoth) leaves was compared with electron transport in sunflower chloroplasts in sorbitol-containing media having various osmotic potentials. In media having low osmotic potentials and dichloroindophenol as electron acceptor, the activity for electron transport was inhibited, but the inhibition was much less than that due to comparable desiccation in vivo. The inhibition at low osmotic potentials was rapidly reversed by returning the chloroplasts to media having high osmotic potentials, but the activity of chloroplasts from desiccated tissue showed no reversal when the chloroplasts were placed in media having high osmotic potentials. Nevertheless, the inhibition of chloroplast activity due to desiccation in vivo was basically reversible, because chloroplasts recovered quickly when they were rehydrated in vivo. The large differences between desiccation in vivo and exposure to low osmotic potential in vivo indicate that osmotic solutions did not reproduce the effects of tissue desiccation. It is concluded that decreases in the Gibbs free energy of water due to decreased osmotic potentials probably have only a small effect on electron transport in chloroplasts from desiccated tissue and do not account for the major effects of leaf desiccation on electron transport. 相似文献

Plants of Sedum rubrotinctum R. T. Clausen were studied in a green-house over a 2-year period without watering. Only the apical leaves survived and were turgid at the end of the experiment. The midday leaf water potential of these apical leaves was −1.20 megapascals, while the leaf water potential of comparable leaves on well-watered control plants was −0.20 megapascals. The unwatered plants appear to have maintained turgor by means of an osmotic adjustment. After 2 years without water the plants no longer exhibited a nocturnal accumulation of titratable acidity. However, the daytime levels of titratable acidity of the unwatered plants were more than 2-fold greater than the levels in well-watered control plants. Well-watered plants of S. rubrotinctum exhibited seasonal shifts in biomass stble carbon isotope ratios, indicating a greater proportion of day versus night CO2 uptake in the winter than in the summer. The imposition of water stress prevented the expression of this seasonal rhythm and restricted the plants to dark CO2 uptake. 相似文献

Wilting of the leaves occurred in acropetal succession at leafwater potentials between 0.9 and 1.1 MPa. Onlysevere water stress caused the discoloration and abscissionof the basal leaves. Leaf resistance was independent of leafwater potential above 0.5 MPa but increased as the potentialdropped below this value. When the stressed plants were rewatered,leaf water potentials recovered rapidly within the first h.Subsequently, the rate of recovery declined gradually. The maximumvalue of leaf water potential after rewatering was dependenton the severity of the water stress. 相似文献

Diurnal and Seasonal Changes in Leaf Water Potential Components and Elastic Properties in Response to Water Stress in Apple Trees 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Apple trees are very drought tolerant, having the capability to grow and carry on photosynthesis even at low water potentials. Much of the tolerance is due to the ability of apple leaves to maintain turgor potentials at levels conducive to growth and stomatal opening. Diurnally, leaf turgor is maintained through decreases in osmotic potentials (due to active solute accumulation), osmotic adjustment, or to concentration of solutes via tissue water loss. These two processes combined may decrease osmotic potentials by as much as 1.65 MPn during the day. Seasonally, osmotic potentials remain fairly constant, but leaf elasticity increases, allowing growth to continue and stomata to remain open us water and turgor potentials become progressively lower. Release of stored water from plant tissues to the transpiration stream is another means of preventing water potentials from reaching critical values for stomatal closure. A combination of a number of these physiological adaptations may account for much of the drought tolerance in apple trees. 相似文献

Encelia farinosa is one of the most abundant and highly studied species of the Sonoran Desert, yet characteristics of its leaf development and long-term photosynthetic capacity are relatively unknown. The net CO2 uptake rate and the Rubisco activity per unit leaf area for E. farinosa in a glasshouse increased in parallel for about 18 days after leaf emergence (leaf area was then 5 cm2), after which both were constant, suggesting that Rubisco levels controlled net CO2 uptake. Instantaneous net CO2 uptake rates at noon for well-watered E. farinosa in the glasshouse at different temperatures and light levels correctly predicted differences in daily net CO2 uptake at four seasonally diverse times for transplanted plants under irrigated conditions in the field but overpredicted the daily means by 13%. After this correction, seasonally adjusted net CO2 uptake per unit leaf area multiplied by the estimated monthly leaf area predicted that 42% of the net carbon gain was incorporated into plant dry weight over a 17-month period. The ecological success of E. farinosa apparently reflects an inherently high daily net CO2 uptake and retention of a substantial fraction of its leaf carbon gain. 相似文献

This study reports the effect of rate of development of leaf water deficits in soil-grown sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) on the relationship of net photosynthesis, leaf conductance, and water use efficiency to leaf water potential, and on the degree of solute accumulation (osmotic adjustment). Recovery of these processes on rewatering, and responses during a second stress cycle were also studied. The most rapid rate of stress (1.2 MPa day?1) resulted in no solute accumulation and the lowest rate of net photosynthesis and leaf conductance for any given leaf water potential during stress. Stress at 0.7 and 0.15 MPa day?1 led to equal solute accumulations of approximately 0.6 MPa, but net photosynthesis, leaf conductance, and water use efficiency at a given leaf water potential were lower with the faster rate of stress (0.7 MPa day?1). Additionally, leaf conductance at a given leaf turgor potential was lowest at the 1.2 MPa day?1 stress rate, slightly higher at the intermediate rate of stress, and clearly highest at the slowest rate of stress. Recovery of both net photosynthesis and leaf conductance upon rewatering was rapid, taking less than 3 days, but full recovery of osmotic potential took between 6 and 11 days. One slow stress cycle had no influence on relationships during a second cycle. The concept of a threshold leaf water potential for stomatal closure is discussed and the conclusion reached that stomatal closure occurs slowly over a wide range of leaf water potential (> 1.0 MPa), the range being greater for slower rates of stress. 相似文献

甘草叶片形态结构和光合作用对干旱胁迫的响应 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
叶片结构在植物防御生物和非生物胁迫方面起着重要的作用,可通过合成、储存和分泌次生代谢产物提高植物抗性。以甘草幼苗为试材,采用盆栽控水自然干旱法,探讨叶片光合作用、气孔微形态和腺体形态对干旱胁迫的响应。结果表明:①随着干旱胁迫程度的加剧,叶片净光合速率(Pn)、气孔导度(Gs)和蒸腾速率(Tr)均呈先升高后降低的趋势;其中胞间CO2浓度(Ci)在重度干旱胁迫(severe stress,SS)时迅速增高。②随着干旱胁迫程度的加剧,叶片总气孔密度和气孔开张比呈先增大后减小的趋势;而气孔开张宽度呈逐渐减小的趋势。③随着干旱胁迫程度的加剧,叶片上表皮和下表皮腺体密度总数整体上呈增大的趋势,腺体颜色随着干旱胁迫程度的加剧逐渐加深,形状出现不规则褶皱和内陷。总之,甘草叶片表面的腺体特征参与抗旱逆境调节,从而避免干旱胁迫对甘草植株的伤害;在SS下,胁迫程度加速了气孔细胞的程序性死亡(PCD),甘草幼苗失去抗旱能力。 相似文献

Diurnal changes in leaf water potential and leaf thickness ofwell-watered citrus trees were found to be highly correlated.Midday decreases in leaf thickness of about 3035 µm reflected midday decreases in leaf water potential of about1.11.3 MPa from predawn values. Leaf water potentialwas also correlated with changes in leaf-to-air temperaturedifference and ambient vapour pressure deficit. Leaf thicknessas well as leaf to air temperature difference could possiblybe used to monitor leaf water status continuously as an indicatorof citrus tree water stress. 相似文献

A series of experiments were conducted to characterize the water stress-induced changes in the activities of RuBP carboxylase (RuBPCO) and sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS), photosystem 2 activity, and contents of chlorophylls, carotenoids, starch, sucrose, amino acids, free proline, proteins and nucleic acids in mulberry (Morus alba L. cv. K-2) leaves. Water stress progressively reduced the activities of RuBPCO and SPS in the leaf extracts, the chlorophyll content, and PS2 activity in isolated chloroplasts. Plants exposed to drought showed lower content of starch and sucrose but higher total sugar content than control plants. While the soluble protein content decreased under water stress, the amino acid content increased. Proline accumulation (2.5-fold) was noticed in stressed leaves. A reduction in the contents of DNA and RNA was observed. Reduced nitrogen content was associated with the reduction in nitrate reductase activity. SDS-PAGE protein profile showed few additional proteins (78 and 92 kDa) in the water stressed plants compared to control plants. 相似文献

The study on the changes of stomatal sensitivity in relation to xylem ABA during periodical soil drying and the effect of leaf water status on the stomatal sensitivity has confirmed that xylem ABA concentration is a good indicator of soil water status around roots and the relation between xylem ABA concentration and predawn leaf water potential remained constant during the three consecutive soil drying cycles based on the slopes of the fitted lines. The sensitivity of stomata to xylem ABA increased substantially as the soil drying cycles progressed, and the xylem ABA concentration needed to cause a 50% decrease of stomatal conductance was as low as 550 mnoL/L in the next two soil drying cycle, as compared with the 750 nmol/L ABA in the first cycle of soil drying. The results using the split-root system showed that leaf water deficit significantly enhanced the stomatal response to xylem ABA and the xylem ABA concentration needed to cause a 50% decrease in stomatal conductance was 2 to 4 times smaller in the whole-root-drying treatment than those in the semi-root- drying treatment. These results suggested that the sensitivity of stomata to xylem ABA concentration is not a fixed characteristic. 相似文献
