Periods of limited soil water availability are a feature of many temperate
pasture systems and these have the potential to modify pasture plant and
community responses to elevated atmospheric CO2. Using large pasture
turves, previously exposed to elevated CO2 concentrations of 350 or 700
mol mol-1 for 324 d
under well-watered conditions the morphological and physiological responses
of pasture species growing at these CO2 concentrations were compared when
subjected to a soil moisture deficit-and to recovery from the deficit-with
those that continued to be well watered.Net leaf photosynthesis of
Trifolium repens (C3 legume), Plantago
lanceolata (C3) and Paspalum dilatatum (C4)
was increased by exposure to elevated CO2, but there was no consistent
effect of CO2 on stomatal conductance. At low soil moistures, net
photosynthesis declined and stomatal conductance increased in these three
species. There was a strong CO2 x water interaction in respect of net
photosynthesis; in Trifolium repens, for example,
elevated CO2 increased net photosynthesis by approximately 50% under
well-watered conditions and this increased to over 300% when soil moisture
levels reached their minimum values. Similar values were recorded for both
Paspalum dilatatum and Plantago
lanceolata. Potential water use efficiency (net
photosynthesis/stomatal conductance) was increased by both exposure to
elevated CO2 and drought.Leaf water status was measured in three species:
Trifolium repens, Paspalum dilatatum and Holcus
lanatus (C3). Total leaf water potential (t) and osmotic
potential () were decreased by drought, but CO2
concentration had no consistent effect. t and
were highest in the C4 species Paspalum dilatatum and
lowest in the legume Trifolium repens.In the wet
turves, rates of leaf extension of the C3 grasses Holcus
lanatus and Lolium perenne at elevated CO2
were frequently higher than those at ambient CO2, but there was no effect
of CO2 concentration on the rate recorded in the C4 grass
Paspalum dilatatum or the rate of leaf appearance in
the legume Trifolium repens. Drought reduced leaf
extension rate irrespective of CO2 in all species, but in Holcus
lanatus the reduction was less severe at elevated CO2.
Immediately after the dry turves were rewatered the leaf extension rate on
tillers of Holcus lanatus and Lolium
perenne were higher than on tillers in the wet turves, but only
at ambient CO2. Consequently, despite the greater leaf extension rate
during the soil moisture deficit at elevated CO2, because of the
overcompensation after rewatering at ambient CO2, total leaf extension over
both the drying and rewetting period did not differ between CO2
concentrations for these C3 grass species. Further investigation of this
difference in response between CO2 treatments is warranted given the
frequent drying and wetting cycles experienced by many temperate
grasslands. 相似文献

Plantago lanceolata with or without the mycorrhizal
fungus Glomus mosseae were grown over a 100 d period
under ambient (38050 mol mol-1) and elevated
(600150 mol
mol-1) atmospheric CO2 conditions. To achieve
similar growth, non-mycorrhizal plants received phosphorus in solution
whereas mycorrhizal plants were supplied with bonemeal. Measures of plant
growth, photosynthesis and carbon input to the soil were obtained. Elevated
CO2 stimulated plant growth to the same extent in mycorrhizal and
non0mycorrhizal plants, but had no effect on the partitioning of carbon
between shoots and roots or on shoot tissue phosphorus concentration.
Mycorrhizal colonization was low, but unaffected by CO2 treatment. Net
photosynthesis was stimulated both by mycorrhizal colonization and elevated
CO2, and there was a more than additive effect of the two treatments on net
photosynthesis. Colonization by mycorrhizal fungi inhibited acclimation, in
terms of net carbon assimilation, or plants to elevated CO2.
13C natural abundance techniques were used to
measure carbon input into the soil, although the results were not
conclusive. Direct measurements of below-ground root biomass showed that
elevated CO2 did stimulate carbon flow below-ground and this was higher in
mycorrhizal than non-mycorrhizal plants. For the four treatment
combinations, the observed relative differences in amount of below-ground
carbon were compared with those expected from the differences in net
photosynthesis. A considerable amount of the extra carbon fixed both as a
result of mycorrhizal colonization and growth in elevated CO2 did not
reveal itself as increased plant biomass. As there was no evidence for a
substantial increase in soil organic matter, most of this extra carbon must
have been respired by the mycorrhizal fungus and the roots or by the plants
as dark-respiration. The need for detailed studies in this area is
emphasized. 相似文献

The effect of rhizosphere dissolved inorganic carbon on gas exchange characteristics and growth rates of tomato seedlings 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The possibility that an enhanced supply of dissolved inorganic carbon
(DIC=CO2+HCO3-) to the root solution could increase
the growth of Lycopersicon esculentum (L.) Mill. cv.
F144 was investigated under both saline and non-saline root medium
conditions. Tomato seedlings were grown in hydroponic culture with and
without NaCl and the root solution was aerated with CO2 concentrations in
the range between 0 and 5000 mol
mol-1. The biomass of both control and
salinity-stressed plants grown at high temperatures (daily maximum of
37C) and an irradiance of 1500 mol m-2
s-1 was increased by up to 200% by enriched
rhizosphere DIC. The growth rates of plants grown with irradiances of less
than 100 mol m-2 s-1
were increased by elevated rhizosphere DIC concentrations only when grown
at high shoot temperatures (35C) or with
salinity 28°C). At high light intensities, the photosynthetic rate,
the CO2 and light-saturated photosynthetic rate (jmax)
and the stomatal conductance of plants grown at high light intensity were
lower in plants supplied with enriched compared to ambient DIC. This was
interpreted as 'down-regulation' of the photosynthetic system in plants
supplied with elevated DIC. Labelled organic carbon in the xylem sap
derived from root DI14C incorporation was found to
be sufficient to deliver carbon to the shoot at rates equivalent to 1% and
10% of the photosynthetic rate of the plants supplied with ambient- and
enriched-DIC, respectively. It was concluded that organic carbon derived
from DIC incorporation and translocated in the xylem from the root to the
shoot may provide a source of carbon for the shoots, especially under
conditions where low stomatal conductance may be advantageous, such as
salinity stress, high shoot temperatures and high light
intensities. 相似文献

In a companion paper several methods of calculating the marginal unit water
cost of plant carbon gain (E/A) were tested to determine
whether stomata were behaving optimally in relation to regulating leaf gas
exchange. In this paper one method is applied to several tropical tree
species when leaf-to-air vapour pressure difference (D), photosynthetic
photon flux density, leaf temperature, and atmospheric soil water
availability were manipulated. The response of leaves that had expanded
during the dry season were also compared to that of leaves that had
expanded in the wet season. Few differences in absolute value of
E/A, or the form of the relationship, were observed
between species or between seasons. In the majority of species,
E/A increased significantly as either leaf-to-air vapour
pressure difference increased, at a leaf temperature of either 33C or 38C, or as in
photosynthetic photon flux density increased. In contrast, as leaf
temperature increased at constant D, E/A was generally
constant. As pre-dawn water potential declined, E/A
declined. The relationship between E/A and D did not
differ whether internal or ambient carbon dioxide concentration were kept
constant. It is concluded that stomata are only behaving optimally over a
very small range of D. If a larger range of D is used, to incorporate
values that more closely reflect those experienced by tropical trees in a
savanna environment optimization is incomplete.Key
words: Stomatal optimization theory, marginal unit water cost.

A karyopherin (LeKAP1) cDNA was isolated from tomato
plants. The deduced LeKAP1 protein sequence of 527 amino acids
showed similarity to other plant karyopherin proteins. When
LeKAP1 was expressed in a yeast two-hybrid
system together with the gene coding for the capsid protein (CP) of the
tomato yellow curl leaf virus (TYLCV), it interacted directly with CP.
Thus, LeKAP1 may be involved in the nuclear import of TYLCV CP
and, potentially, the TYLCV genomes during viral infection of the host
tomato cells. 相似文献

The objective was to determine whether the protein of
rolB affects shoot formation and whether this
potential relationship depends on the developmental stages of the plant
and/or on the culture conditions. Thin cell layers (TCL) and leaf explants
were excised from tobacco plants in the vegetative and flowering stages and
cultured under various hormonal conditions. In TCLs of vegetative-stage
plants, the expression of rolB enhanced the formation
of the shoot buds under hormone-free conditions and with specific
concentrations of auxin and/or cytokinin. Histological examination showed
that the induction of the shoot meristemoids was particularly enhanced by
rolB protein and that meristemoid growth was
accelerated. In leaf explants from vegetative-stage plants, the expression
of rolB increased the formation of shoot buds in the
presence of 1 M IAA plus 1 or 10 M cytokinin. With BA alone, at a 0.1 M concentration, shoot formation occurred in the
transgenic explants only, whereas with concentrations ranging from 0.5 to
10 M, it was higher in these explants than in
controls.RolB protein enhanced the formation of shoot
buds in TCLs from flowering plants under all hormonal conditions. In the
presence of 1 M IAA and kinetin, the protein also increased the
flowering response. In leaf explants from flowering plants, the expression
of rolB increased the number of shoot buds in the
presence of 1 M IAA with 10 M BA.In conclusion,
rolB protein promotes shoot formation; it seems to
have a positive interaction with cytokinin and an effect on the induction
of the meristematic condition. 相似文献

Mastoparan analogues stimulate phospholipase C- and phospholipase D-activity in Chlamydomonas: a comparative study 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The G-protein activator mastoparan and its analogues are becoming popular
tools for studying signalling in plants. Therefore the abilities of
mastoparan, mas7, mas8, and mas17 to activate phospholipase C (PLC), PLD
and to induce the deflagellation response in Chlamydomonas
moewusii Gerloff were compared. The aim was to test whether
their relative potencies in a plant system resemble those reported for
bovine brain Go and Gi, as is generally assumed, and to determine at which
concentrations cells become permeabilized, a known effect of higher
concentrations. The concentrations at which 50% deflagellation was induced,
were 2.0 M mastoparan, 3.0 M mas8, 3.6 M mas7, and 5.8 M
mas17. Similar activities were found for the production of phosphatidic
acid, which is the result of the combined activities of PLD and PLC
(together with diacylglycerol kinase). PLD activity alone was measured
in vivo by its ability to phosphatidylate
n-butanol. Surprisingly, the concentrations that
stimulated maximum activity were about 10-fold lower (1
M) than those that stimulated maximum PLC activity (10
M). Mas17 was an exception with both maxima above 10 M.
All the compounds except mas17 permeabilized C.
moewusii cells. The concentrations at which 50% of the cells
were permeabilized to Evan's blue were 7.4 M mas8, 16.0 M
mas7 and 22.4 M mastoparan. In conclusion, only mastoparan itself
and the least active analogue mas17 induced maximum deflagellation, PLC and
PLD activities without permeabilizing the cells.Keywords:

Photorespiratory glycine enhances glutathione accumulation in both the chloroplastic and cytosolic compartments 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Transformed poplars overexpressing -glutamylcysteine synthetase (-ECS) in the chloroplast (Lggs) were used to
investigate chloroplastic biosynthesis of glutathione (GSH). In Lggs
leaves, GSH contents were enhanced by up to 3.7 fold. In general, the
highest GSH contents were observed in lines with highest
-glutamylcysteine (-EC) contents. These lines had
relatively low glycine. In darkness, foliar GSH decreased and -EC
increased. Illumination of pre-darkened Lggs in air resulted in a 5-fold
decrease in the -EC : GSH ratio. This light-induced decrease was
largely abolished if leaves were illuminated at high CO2. Consequently, the
-EC : GSH ratio of illuminated leaves was much higher at high CO2
than in air. At high CO2 total foliar amino acids were
higher, but glycine and serine were lower, than in air. These results
suggest that photorespiratory glycine is used in chloroplastic GSH
synthesis. Despite this net CO2 fixation was similar in Lggs to
untransformed poplars. Pre-illuminated leaf discs from Lggs, and poplars
overexpression -ECS in the cytosol (ggs), were incubated in
darkness with a range of metabolites. After 15 h, discs for both types of
transformant incubated on water had accumulated high levels of -EC
and showed marked increases in the -EC : GSH ratio. Feeding
glycine, serine, glycollate or phosphoserine, attenuated the dark-induced
changes in the -EC : GSH ratio, whereas 3-phosphoglycerate (PGA),
phosphoenolpyruvate, glycerate, and hydroxypyruvate did not. Glycine
produced from glycollate was therefore required for maximal GSH
accumulation in both the chloroplastic and cytosolic compartment.
Production of glycine from PGA failed to meet the demand of increased GSH
synthetic capacity. 相似文献

Nitrogen deficiency reduces the photosynthetic capacity of both C3 and C4
plants. The regulation of photosynthetic gas exchange in eight clones of
the C4 grass, sugarcane (Saccharum spp.), grown at
three levels of N availability was studied to determine whether N stress
diminishes the efficiency of the C4 CO2 concentrating system in addition to
reducing overall rates of photosynthesis. The quantum yield for CO2 uptake
decreased linearly with decreasing leaf N content. Genetic variation in
quantum yield at a given level of N supply was also observed. Leaf tissue
carbon isotope discrimination () increased linearly with
decreasing quantum yield. Concurrent determinations of the prevailing ratio
of intercellular to ambient partial pressure of CO 2
(pi/pa) during leaf gas exchange
suggested that the observed variation in was almost entirely
attributable to variation in bundle sheath leakiness to CO2 ()
rather than pi/pa. Taken
together, these results point to substantial environmental and genetic
variation in the efficiency of the CO2 concentrating system in sugarcane.
Reduced partitioning of carboxylase activity to ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate
carboxylase relative to phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase in N-deficient
plants suggested that the associated increase in and decline in
quantum yield may have been attributable largely to a decline in C3 cycle
activity in the bundle sheath relative to C4 cycle activity in the
mesophyll. Quantum yield and intrinsic water use efficiency (WUE) were
negatively correlated. In contrast with the trade-off between intrinsic
light- and water use efficiency, photosynthetic nitrogen-use efficiency and
intrinsic WUE were positively correlated. 相似文献

Influence of UV-B radiation and Cd2+ on chlorophyll fluorescence, growth and nutrient content in Brassica napus 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
The possible interaction of two stresses, UV-B radiation and cadmium,
applied simultaneously, was investigated in Brassica
napus L. cv. Paroll with respect of chlorophyll fluorescence,
growth and uptake of selected elements. Plants were grown in nutrient
solution containing CdCl2, (0, 0.5, 2 or 5 M)
and irradiated with photosynthetically active radiation
(PAR, 400-700 nm, 800 mol m-2
s-1) with or without supplemental ultraviolet-B
radiation (UV-B, 280-320 nm, 15 kJ m-2
d-1, weighted irradiance). After 14 d of treatment,
the most pronounced effects were found at 2 and 5 M CdCl2 with and
without supplemental UV-B radiation. Exposure to cadmium significantly
increased the amount of Cd in both roots and shoots. In addition, increases
occurred in the concentrations of Fe, Zn, Cu, and P in roots, while K was
reduced. In shoots the S content rose significantly both in the presence
and absence of UV-B radiation, while significant increases in Mg, Ca, P,
Cu, and K occurred only in plants exposed to Cd and UV-B radiation.
Manganese decreased significantly under the combined exposure treatment.
The rise in S content may have been due to stimulated glutathione and
phytochelatin synthesis. Cadmium exposure significantly decreased root dry
weight, leaf area, total chlorophyll content, carotenoid content, and the
photochemical quantum yield of photosynthesis. As an estimation of energy
dissipation processes in photosynthesis, non-photochemical quenching
(qNPQ) was measured using a pulse amplitude modulated
fluorometer. The qNPQ increased with increasing Cd,
while the combination of cadmium and UV-B reduced the
qNPQ compared to that in plants exposed only to
cadmium or UV-B radiation. The chlorophyll a:b ratio
showed a reduction with UV-B at no or low Cd concentrations (0 M,
0.5 M CdCl2), but not at the higher Cd concentrations used (2
M, 5 M CdCl2). Thus in some instances there appeared to
be a UV-B and Cd interaction, while in other plants response could be
attributed to either treatment alone.Keywords:

The euryhaline charophyte Lamprothamnium papulosum (Wallr.)J. Gr. was adapted to media with decreasing salinities rangingfrom 550 to 0 mosmol kg1. Vegetative plants grown inmedia with osmotic pressures (0) in the range of 550 to 130mosmol kg1 maintained a constant turgor pressure () at309 + 7 mosmol kg1. The ions K+, Na+ and Cl, werethe predominant solutes in the vacuole. Changes in their concentrationsaccount for the variation in internal osmotic pressure (1) with,0. The divalent ions Mg2+, Ca2+ and were also present in significant amounts, but their concentrationsdid not alter with changes in, 0. In cells subjected to hypo-osmotic shock the regulation of was incomplete. The turgor pressure increased from 302 to 383mosmol kg1. The first rapid response to the sudden decreasein 0 was a loss of K+ and Cl. In contrast to the decreasein ionic concentrations an accumulation of sucrose occurredwhich could account for the increase of . The increase in sucroseconcentration started 24 to 48 h after the downshock and reachedits highest value after 3 to 4 weeks. The sucrose concentrationin the vacuole was up to 320 mol m3. During this timethe ionic content continued to decrease but did not counterbalancethe sucrose concentration sufficiently to regain the original. High sucrose levels accompanied by an enhanced were also observedduring the period of fructification (sexual reproduction: formationof antheridia and oogonia) in Lamprothamnium kept under conditionsof constant salinity. It is concluded that high sucrose content and elevated arecharacteristic of sexual reproduction in this charophyte.

The effect of decreased or increased
phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) activity on the
CO2 compensation point, respiration in the light or dark as well as the
partitioning of carbon into starch, soluble sugars, organic acids, and
amino acids was investigated using transgenic potato plants. Engineered
PEPC activity ranged form 0.5-fold wild-type level in antisense plants to
5-fold wild-type levels in lines overexpressing the
ccpc gene of Corynebacterium
glutamicum encoding for a PEPC not modulated by protein
phosphorylation. The CO2 compensation point determined according to Brooks
and Farquhar (1985) was lower in PEPC overexpressors (32 l l-1 CO2) compared to control
potato lines (38 l l-1
CO2), but was increased in antisense PEPC plants (42
l-1 CO2). 3-fold overexpression of PEPC gave a
minimum CO2 compensation point of 32 l l-1
CO2. Increased PEPC activity resulted in enhanced respiration in the light
and dark. Altered PEPC activity had no effect on the pattern of
14CO2 incorporation into leaf discs in the light.
14C pulse-chase experiments in the dark,
demonstrated that substantially more total label was lost in the leaf discs
from PEPC overexpressors. Metabolite levels were determined in 21 PEPC
overexpressing lines after 8 h in the light. A 5-fold increase in PEPC over
the wild-type increased malate (61%), starch (75%) and significantly
increased sucrose contents 9150%). Total amino acid contents were only
marginally increased. From gas exchange characteristics and labeling
experiments it was concluded that PEP carboxylation, followed by an
increased rate of respiratory CO2 release, might work as a
HCO3-/CO2 pump. This might result in elevated CO2/O2
ratios in the mesophyll, concomitant with a more favoured
carboxylation/oxygenation ratio of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate
carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco). 相似文献

The water potential () at which stomata completed closure (8Lmin)was determined for pearl millet (Pennisetum americanum [L.]Leeke) at two growth stages by monitoring changes in leaf conductance(gL) and following shoot detachment. Leaf water status wasevaluated concurrently using a pressure-volume (P-V) technique. In a pot experiment with young vegetative plants, 8Lmin closelyapproximated to the estimated at zero turgor (u) both for controland for drought-conditioned plants which had osmotically adjusted.However, for penultimate leaves of field-grown flowering plants,8Lmin was found to be 0.61 (irrigated plants) and 0.87 (droughtedplants) MPa below u. In drought-stressed field-grown plants,osmotic adjustment (characterized by a decrease in solute (osmotic)potential (s ) at both full hydration and zero turgor) was insufficientto maintain a positive bulk leaf turgor potential (p) once had declined to below about -1.5 MPa. It is suggested that localizedadjustment by the stomatal complex in response to environmentaldifferences, leaf ageing and/or ontogenetic change, is responsiblefor the uncoupling of stomatal from bulk leaf water status.

By analysing the relationship between inverse water potential(1), and relative water content (RWC) measured on leavesof roses (Rosa hybrida cv. Sonia), grown soilless, it was foundthat a non-linear (NL) model was better suited than a linearmodel to reproduce values observed in the non-turgid region.To explain this apparent curvature, it is assumed that a reductionof the non-osmotic water fraction (Ap) takes place when decreases.Osmotic potentials () measured on fresh and frozen leaf discstend to support this hypothesis. A method for exploiting PVcurves, which takes into account the variation of Ap, is described.It delivers values for the turgor pressure (p), the relativeosmotic water content, and the mean bulk volumetric elasticitycoefficient, lower than those given by the linear model. Onthe other hand, it gives higher estimates for Ap and for . Whenapplying the traditional model to obtain estimates for waterrelations characteristics of rose leaves, and comparing resultsfrom two distinct salinity treatments (electrical conductivitiesof 1·8 mS cm1 and 3·8 mS cm1, respectively),one deduces a significant reduction of at turgor-loss in thehigh salinity treatment. The NL method is, in addition, ablesimultaneously to reveal a reduction of and a significant increasein p at RWC=100% this proves that soillessgrown roseplants are able to osmoregulate when subjected to a constantand relatively high degree of salinity.

The Meaning of Matric Potential 总被引:6,自引:1,他引:5
The commonly used equation, = P - + , which describes thepartitioning of plant water potential, , into components ofhydrostatic pressure, P, osmotic pressure, , and matric potential,, is misleading. The term , which is supposed to show the influenceof a solid phase on , is zero if a consistent definition ofpressure is used in the standard thermodynamic derivation. However,it can be usefully defined by = + D, where D is the osmoticpressure of the equilibrium dialysate of the system. The practicaland theoretical significance of this definition is discussed. 相似文献

Phytosulphokine- (PSK-) is the first chemically characterized peptide
that acts as a plant growth factor. It stimulates the proliferation of
asparagus and rice cells, but no information is yet available on its
effects on plant morphogenesis. The effects of PSK- on somatic
embryogenesis in carrot (Daucus carota L.) were
examined. PSK-, when added to the induction medium for somatic
embryogenesis, increased the number of somatic embryos. The chemical
analogues [2-5]PSK- and tyrosine sulphate ester (Tyr-SO3 H), which
have been used as negative controls in other systems, had no effect.
Moreover the proliferation of cells during somatic embryogenesis was also
enhanced by PSK- these results indicate that PSK-
enhanced cell division and, as a consequence, stimulated carrot somatic
embryogenesis. PSK- also stimulated the proliferation of
embryogenic cells in medium that contained 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid
(2,4-D), in which somatic embryos did not form, as well as the
proliferation of non-embryogenic cells (cells that had lost the ability to
form somatic embryos) in medium without 2,4-D. These results indicate that
PSK- has a stimulatory effect on cell division generally in carrot
cell cultures.Key words: Daucus carota, plant growth
factor, somatic embryogenesis, sulphated peptide.

The role of solute accumulation, osmotic adjustment and changes in cell wall elasticity in drought tolerance in Ziziphus mauritiana (Lamk.) 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Ber (Ziziphus mauritiana Lamk.) is a major fruit tree
crop of the north-west Indian arid zone. In a study of the physiological
basis of drought tolerance in this species, two glasshouse experiments were
conducted in which trees were droughted during single stress-cycles. In the
first experiment, during a 13 d drying cycle, pre-dawn leaf water
(leaf) and osmotic () potentials in droughted
trees declined from -0.5 and -1.4 MPa to -1.7 and -2.2 MPa, respectively,
for a decrease in relative water content () of 14%. During
drought stress, changes in sugar metabolism were associated with
significant increases in concentrations of hexose sugars (3.8-fold),
cyclitol (scyllo-inositol; 1.5-fold), and proline (35-fold; expressed per
unit dry weight), suggesting that altered solute partitioning may be an
important factor in drought tolerance of Ziziphus. On
rewatering pre-dawn leaf and recovered fully, but
remained depressed by 0.4 MPa relative to control
values, indicating that solute concentration per unit water content had
changed during the drought cycle.Evidence for osmotic adjustment was
provided from a second study during which a gradual drought was imposed.
Pressure-volume analysis revealed a 0.7 MPa reduction in osmotic potential
at full turgor, with leaf at turgor loss depressed by 1 MPa in
drought-stressed leaves. Coupled with osmotic adjustment, during gradual
drought, was a 65% increase in bulk tissue elastic modulus (wall rigidity)
which resulted in turgor loss at the same in both stressed and
unstressed leaves. The possible ecological significance of maintenance of
turgor potential and cell volume at low water potentials for drought
tolerance in Ziziphus is discussed.Keywords:
Ziziphus mauritiana, drought, solute
accumulation, osmotic adjustment, proline.
