Abstract:

Abstract Xylem and phloem sap flows in an intact, young Japanese zelkova tree (Zelkova serrata (Thunb.) Makino) growing outdoors were measured using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Two propagator-based sequences were developed for q-space imaging: pulse field gradient (PFG) with spin echo (PFG-SE) and stimulated echo (PFG-STE), which were used for xylem and phloem flow measurements, respectively. The data evaluation methods were improved to image fast xylem flow and slow phloem flow. Measurements were taken every 2–3 h for several consecutive days in August 2016, and diurnal changes in xylem

Abstract:

Xylem vessels are essential pivotal organs in bulk hydraulic flow through the whole woody plant. However, environmental constraints generate disagreements in xylem structures, which are characterized by air emboli and occlusions formations, compromising water conductivity in grapevines. The aim of this work was to explore xylem morphology dynamics through the xylem sap flow of five Tunisian grapevine cultivars during the natural bleeding sap periods of 2019, 2021, and 2022. In fact, Sakasly, Khamri, Hencha, Razegui1, and Razegui2 rain-fed grapevine cultivars revealed differential responses tow

Abstract:

Neck shrivel is a quality disorder of European plum (Prunus × domestica L.). It has been suggested that backflow in the xylem (from fruit to tree) could contribute to the incidence of neck shrivel in plum. The objective was to quantify rates of xylem, phloem and of transpiration flow in developing plum fruit. Using linear variable displacement transducers, changes in fruit volume were recorded 1) in un-treated control fruit, 2) in fruit that had their pedicels steam-girdled (phloem interrupted, xylem still functional) and 3) in detached fruit, left in the canopy (xylem and phloem interrupted).

Abstract:

Xylem failure via gas embolism (cavitation) was investigated in Rhapis excelsa (Palmae). Embolism was detected using measurements of xylem flow resistance in excised stems and petioles: a decrease in resistance after the removal of flow-impeding embolisms by a pressure treatment indicated their previous presence in the axis. Results suggested that Rhapis avoids serious damage from embolism in at least four ways. 1) Xylem pressure potentials reached embolism-inducing levels (c. -2.90 MPa) only during prolonged drought. 2) When embolism did occur, it was confined to leaf xylem; stem xylem, most

The decline in xylem flow during the late growth stage in most fruits may be due either to a decrease in the water potential gradient between the stem bearing the fruit and the fruit tissues or to a decrease in the hydraulic conductivity of xylem vessels, or both.

The variations in xylem and transpiration flows were estimated at several stage

The effects of spur leaf removal on xylem sap flows and calcium accumulation in fruit of apple (Malus ×domestica Borkh. `Royal Gala') were determined 56 to 61 days after full bloom. Fruit calcium concentrations were reduced but fruit size was not influenced by partial spur defoliation at bloom. Apples exchanged xylem sap with the tree in daily cycles of flow reversal. The presence of local spur leaves promoted this exchange by accentuating the xylem sap drawn out of the fruit during the day, requiring more to flow back into the fruit at night to replace it.

Abstract:

AbstractMaintaining xylem water transport under drought is vital for plants, but xylem failure does occur when drought-induced embolisms form and progressively spread through the xylem. The hydraulic method is widely considered the gold standard to quantify drought-induced xylem embolism. The method determines hydraulic conductivity (Kh) in cut branch samples, dehydrated to specific drought levels, by pushing water through them. The technique is widely considered for its reliable Kh measurements, but there is some uncertainty in the literature over how to define stable Kh and how that relates

Fluid flow through the outermost ring was quantified by removing that ring, calculating gravity flow rates (hydraulic conductivity at 10.13 kPa m-1 ), and by tracing the

Abstract:

‘Münch water’ is pushed from the phloem to the xylem at locations of phloem sugar unloading. Consequently, an internal radial water potential imbalance is developed in the plant at these sugar-unloading sites. The phloem is at a higher water potential than the xylem. The magnitude of this radial water potential imbalance is determined by the magnitude of the radial water flux and the hydraulic resistance along the phloem-to-xylem pathway. If, as a result, the water potential in the ray parenchyma cells adjacent to xylem conduits is higher than that in the embolised xylem conduits, then a propo

Subsequent estimation of the volumetric sap flow rate by this method requires no calibration since empirical coefficients are available form the literature. The improved device was tested for estimating the hourly and daily transpiration rate of a birch tree in a fi

Abstract:

Two-year-old seedlings of green ash, Fraxinus pennsylvanica Marsh., representing five native populations from an east to west precipitation gradient, were grown under contrasting moisture regimes in the greenhouse. At midsummer and the end of the growing season, leaf areas, earlywood and latewood transverse areas, and several structural attributes of the xylem hydraulic system were compared between well-watered and drought-stressed seedlings. Xylem hydraulic capacity was essentially fixed by midsummer. Drought significantly reduced both earlywood and latewood production but had no significant

Abstract:

The multiple structures of xylem vessels in Magnolia provide stable and efficient water transport channels. The structural parameters of xylem vessels were studied in wood sections and in macerated materials. The results showed that the xylem vessels of Magnolia contained a helical thickening structure and a pit structure of a secondary wall, and the end walls had a scalariform perforation plate. The helical thickening and scalariform perforation plate increased the flow resistance of the vessel, and the pit structure decreased the flow resistance of the vessel. There was a close positive corr

Abstract:

Percent loss of conductivity of sweet cherry (Prunus avium `Emperor Frances') under dry conditions was determined by measuring hydraulic conductivity before and after high pressure perfusion removal of xylem embolisms. Cut stems were allowed to dry for 0 to 8 hours, recut underwater and the rate of flow of solution through the stems measured under positive pressure (∼8.0 kPa). Hydraulic conductivity (Kh)was then calculated, and typical values for well hydrated stems were 6 × 10-9 m4MPa-1s-1. Embolisms were then dissolved by high pressure perfusion (125kPa) and the subsequent flow rate measured

Abstract:

The rms2 and rms4 pea (Pisum sativum L.) branching mutants have higher and lower xylem-cytokinin concentration, respectively, relative to wild type (WT) plants. These genotypes were grown at two levels of nitrogen (N) supply for 18–20 d to determine whether or not xylem-cytokinin concentration (X-CK) or delivery altered the transpiration and leaf growth responses to N deprivation. Xylem sap was collected by pressurising de-topped root systems. As sap-flow rate increased, X-CK declined in WT and rms2, but did not change in rms4. When grown at 5.0 mm N, X-CKs of rms2 and rms4 were 36% higher and

Abstract:

Mercury (Hg) is one of the most toxic heavy metals and has multiple impacts on plant growth and physiology, including disturbances of plant water status. The impact of Hg on water relations was assessed by exposing the unique Hg-sensitive pea (Pisum sativum L.) mutant SGECdt and its wild-type (WT) line SGE in hydroponic culture. When the plants were grown in the presence of 1 or 2 µM HgCl2 for 11 days, the SGECdt mutant had lower whole plant transpiration rate and increased leaf temperature, indicating stomatal closure.

Abstract:

The maintenance of an intact water column in the xylem lumen several meters above the ground is essential for woody plant viability. In fact, abiotic and biotic factors can lead to the formation of emboli in the xylem, interrupting sap flow and causing consequences on the health status of the plant. Anyway, the tendency of plants to develop emboli depends on the intrinsic features of the xylem, while the cyto-histological structure of the xylem plays a role in resistance to vascular pathogens, as in the case of the pathogenic bacterium Xylella fastidiosa.

Trees in the 36- to 45-year-old age-class had a significantly faster initial resin flow rate and greater total flow than trees from the other age-classes. No significant differences in initial flow rate, total flow, and relative viscosity were observed between sample heights. Unexpected differences in monoterpene composition occurred b

Abstract:

Alternate bearing (AB) by individual trees is a major biological problem faced by pecan [Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch] nut producers. The linkage between flowering and subsequent cropload with xylem sap characteristics at the time of floral bud swelling and expansion is unknown. Multiyear field studies of mature ‘Cheyenne’ and ‘Moneymaker’ trees, in “on” or “off” phases of AB, were evaluated regarding this linkage. Xylem sap flowing from trunks of ‘Cheyenne’ trees just before, and at the time of, budbreak (i.e., “late winter/early spring”) consisted of a variety of simple sugars. The

Abstract. In 1978, Landsberg and Fowkes presented a solution of the water flow equation inside a root with uniform hydraulic properties. These properties are root radial conductivity and axial conductance, which control, respectively, the radial water flow between the root surface and xylem and the axial flow within the xylem. From the solution for the xylem water potential, functions that describe the radial and axial flow along the root axis were derived. These solutions can also be used to derive root macroscopic parameters that are potential input parameters of hydrological and crop models

To understand water flow in tracheary elements, hydraulic conductances per unit length were measured and then compared with theoretical values calculated from xylem anatomical measurements using the Hagen -Poiseuille relation for nine species of pteridophytes, including Psilotum and eight species of ferns. In ferns the water potential gradients were essentially constant from the root tips to the distal portion of the leaf rachises, although somewhat larger gradients were found from the petiolule onward. Although tracheid number and diameter apparently controlled water flow in xylem, estimates
