The relationships between carbon isotope discrimination and photosynthesis and rice yield under shading
The measurement of carbon isotope discrimination (∆) provides an integrated insight into theresponse of plants to environmental change. To investigate the potential use of ∆ for identifyingshade tolerance in rice, five rice varieties were selected and artificially shaded (53% lightreduction) during the grain-filling period in 2010 and 2011, in Sichuan, China. Shadingtreatment had a significant ...
متن کاملWood anatomy and carbon-isotope discrimination support long-term hydraulic deterioration as a major cause of drought-induced dieback.
Hydraulic impairment due to xylem embolism and carbon starvation are the two proposed mechanisms explaining drought-induced forest dieback and tree death. Here, we evaluate the relative role played by these two mechanisms in the long-term by quantifying wood-anatomical traits (tracheid size and area of parenchyma rays) and estimating the intrinsic water-use efficiency (iWUE) from carbon isotopi...
متن کاملAssociations between partitioning of carboxylase activity and bundle sheath leakiness to C02, carbon isotope discrimination, photosynthesis, and growth in sugarcane
Genetic and environmental variation in carbon isotope discrimination (A), photosynthetic gas exchange, growth and activities of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (Rubisco) were studied in four sugarcane clones grown under three different irrigation regimes for 65 d in a greenhouse. A of the uppermost fully expanded leaf increased with decreasing ir...

متن کاملA 20-Year Overview of Quercus robur L. Mortality and Crown Conditions in Slovenia
Pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) forests in Slovenia are experiencing widespread mortality. Changes in lowlands are reflected in decline of complete forest complexes, high mortality, uneven stand structure and associated forest regeneration problems. Prediction of the present-tree response in disturbed forest ecosystems may significantly contribute to better guideline policies for the silvicu...
