New evidence for a role of vessel-associated cells and phloem in the rapid xylem refilling of cavitated stems of Laurus nobilis L. 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:2
Xylem recovery from embolism was studied in Laurus nobilis L. stems that were induced to cavitate by combining negative xylem pressure potentials (PX = ?1.1 MPa) with positive air pressures (PC) applied using a pressure collar. Xylem refilling was measured by recording the percentage loss of hydraulic conductance (PLC) with respect to the maximum 2 min, 20 min and 15 h after pressure release. Sodium orthovanadate (an inhibitor of many ATP‐ases) strongly inhibited xylem refilling while fusicoccin (a stimulator of the plasma membrane H+‐ATPase) promoted complete embolism reversal. So, the refilling process was interpreted to result from energy‐dependent mechanisms. Stem girdling induced progressively larger inhibition to refilling the nearer to the embolized stem segment phloem was removed. The starch content of wood parenchyma was estimated as percentages of ray and vasicentric cells with high starch content with respect to the total, before and after stem embolism was induced. A closely linear positive relationship was found to exist between recovery from PLC and starch hydrolysis. This, was especially evident in vasicentric cells. A mechanism for xylem refilling based upon starch to sugar conversion and transport into embolized conduits, assisted by phloem pressure‐driven radial mass flow is proposed. 相似文献

Leaf hydraulics of Aesculus hippocastanum L. were measured over the growing season and during extensive leaf mining by the larvae of an invasive moth (Cameraria ohridella Deschka et Dimic) that specifically destroy the palisade tissue. Leaves showed seasonal changes in hydraulic resistance (Rlamina) which were related to ontogeny. After leaf expansion was complete, the hydraulic resistance of leaves and the partitioning of resistances between vascular and extra‐vascular compartments remained unchanged despite extensive disruption of the palisade by leafminers (up to 50%). This finding suggests that water flow from the petiole to the evaporation sites might not directly involve the palisade cells. The analysis of the temperature dependence of Rlamina in terms of Q10 revealed that at least one transmembrane step was involved in water transport outside the leaf vasculature. Anatomical analysis suggested that this symplastic step may be located at the bundle sheath where the apoplast is interrupted by hydrophobic thickening of cell walls. Our findings offer some support to the view of a compartmentalization of leaves into well‐organized water pools so that the transpiration stream would involve veins, bundle sheath and spongy parenchyma, while the palisade tissue would be largely by‐passed with the possible advantage of protecting cells from short‐term fluctuations in water status. 相似文献

The yellow carnation Dianthus guliae Janka is a rare endemic of the Italian peninsula. As numerous extinctions have occurred in the past, very few populations are still present. Two years of field surveys revealed high mortality and an absence of recruitment in the southernmost populations of this species. Work in a botanical garden, under semi-natural conditions, revealed the occurrence of proterandrous hermaphroditism and self-compatibility. The durable flower lifespan, the competitive effects among flowers and the different outcomes from spontaneous and hand-performed pollinations (with both self- and cross-pollen) suggested low pollination rates in the experimental stand. Pollinator exclusion experiments revealed a low frequency of delayed autonomous selfing, suggesting that self-fertilization in D. guliae relies mainly on facilitated selfing and geitonogamy. Studies of inbreeding depression during the early life-history stages revealed significant differences between selfed and crossed progenies in terms of seed mass, germination rates, developmental vigour and mortality rates. Therefore, when pollen delivery is scarce, the plant may fail reproductive assurance via autonomous selfing. The influence of inbreeding depression contributes to a further reduction in recruitment chances in very small D. guliae populations. Experimental reintroductions are urgent to avoid local extinction at the southern periphery of its range. 相似文献

We report measurements of hydraulic conductivity of Vitis oinifera,Oleo europaea and Populus deltoides 1-year-old twigs. Singleserial internodes were tested for the volume flow rate whichwas related to: (a) the xylem tissue cross-sectional area, (b)the vessel lumina cross-sectional area and (c) the leaf surfacearea supplied by a given stem section. From this, whole xylemhydraulic conductivity (Lx), vessel lumina hydraulic conductivity(Lxv) and leaf specific conductivity (LSC) were calculated.All the three parameters turned out to be linearly related toeach other. This is kcause: (a) the leaf surface area (A1) waslinearly related to xylem cross-sectional area (Ax and (b) theratio of the vessel lumina cross-sectional area (Axv) to xylemcross-sectional area (Ax) was approximately constant along thetwigs. Moreover, the hydraulic conductivity of twig segmentswhere buds grow most actively (distal internodes in V. viniferaand proximal ones in O. europaea) was much lower than in therest of the twigs. A possible role played by these constrictedtwig regions is discussed. Key words: Changes, Hydraulic conductivity, Stem 相似文献

While drying, detached leaves produced ultrasound acoustic emissions (UAE) comparable to emissions from stem and twig wood. Experiments on Ilex aquifolium L. showed that the main source of these signals was cavitation in the veins, to which conduits and fibres probably both contributed. Regions of the leaf blade with abundant mesophyll and only small veins emitted few signals. More signals were counted on the adaxial side of the midrib than on the abaxial one and on the proximal third than on the distal one, in accordance with the anatomical structure. Sound attenuation was pronounced. Eight species were compared with respect to cavitation behaviour, field water relations and pressure–volume curves, and the data showed differences in cumulative number of events and resistance of leaves to cavitation. Data were generally in good agreement with anatomical structure and habitat preferences. The number of signals per conduit counted on cross-sections was in some leaves much higher than unity, which suggests short xylem elements or an acoustic activity of cells other than conduits. There was no correlation between cavitation threshold or cumulative number of signals and the degree of sclerophylly; unexpectedly, there was a correlation between the cumulative number of signals at a water potential of -1.3 MPa and the bulk modulus of elasticity. 相似文献

The Water Relations of Young Olive Trees in a Mediterranean Winter: Measurements of Evaporation from Leaves and Water Conduction in Wood 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We report measurements of evaporation rate, leaf resistanceto evaporation and water conduction in the stems of young olivetrees (Olea europea L.) growing in Messina, Italy, during thewinter and early spring. We have measured what Zimmermann callsleaf specific conductivity (LSC) of stem segmentsexcised from olive trees. The LSC is a measure of the specifichydraulic conductivity of stem segments normalized per unitarea of leaves supplied by the stem segment rather than perunit area of sapwood cross-sectional area. We find that theLSC's of primary stems were the largest followed in magnitudeby the LSC's of secondary stems and tertiary stems. Under winterand early spring conditions the maximum evaporative flux fromCoratina and Nocellara varieties of olive trees is about 2.6x 105 kg 81 m2. From this and the LSC measurementswe calculate that the pressure gradients needed to maintainthis rate of evaporation in the steady state is 65 kPa m1in primary stems, 170 kPa m1 in secondary stems and 560kPa m1 in tertiary stems.

A pressure collar, assembled around 25cm sections of 4-year-old willow twigs, was used to examine cavitation events under field conditions. When the air pressure inside the collar was raised to between 1–8 and 2–8MPa, ultrasound acoustic emission signals were triggered which indicated the breaking of water columns in the xylem. The hydraulic conductivity of the twig portion inside the chamber decreased markedly. As a result, water potentials and conductances in leaves at the end of the twig decreased. Similar changes were induced at comparable pressures in detached twigs. The equipment used is described in detail, and evidence is presented that the mechanism of this artificial production of emboli follows the air-seeding principle hypothesized for natural cavitation events. 相似文献

Measurements of cavitation occurring in xylem conduits of differentstem parts in whole Chorisia insignis H.B. et. K. plants subjectedto water stress are reported. Pre-stressed plants were shownto undergo cavitation over 10 times greater than watered ones.The most vulnerable parts of plants were one-year-old twigswhere cavitation reached a peak of over 50 acoustic emissions(AE) min1 while in two-year-old twigs AE min1were about one half this value. Stem zones were found wherecavitation was typically very low even during water stress:these were one-year-old nodes and junctions where branches meet.Measurements of the inside diameters of xylem conduits and distributionof conduit ends in stem parts where AE were detected, showedthat nodes have a significantly larger percentage of narrowxylem conduits than internodes. Similar constricted zoneswere found injunctions with respect to two-year-old twigs. Hereabout 50 per cent of the xylem conduits were as narrow as 20to 50 µm in diameter. The distribution of xylem conduitends show about 3 per cent of them ending in the nodes and 1per cent in the internodes of one-year-old twigs. About 11.6per cent of xylem conduits end in the junctions and about ahalf in two-year-old internodes. Our data would give furtherexperimental evidence to the functional concept of plantsegmentation into zones (internodes) more efficient inwater conduction, i.e. with wider xylem conduits but more vulnerableto cavitation and others (nodes and junctions) with oppositecharacteristics.
