Kinetics of l-Alanine Escape from Xylem Vessels.
Labeled ((3)H or (14)C) l-alanine was perfused through the xylem vessels of isolated tomato internodes (Lycopersicon esculentum cv. Moneymaker) at various concentrations (10(-6) molar to 10(-2) molar). At each concentration the escape of l-alanine from the xylem vessels was apparently a first order process, which is in agreement with Horwitz' (1958, Plant Physiology 33:81-93) model for irrevers...
متن کاملVulnerability of xylem vessels to cavitation in sugar maple. Scaling from individual vessels to whole branches.
The relation between xylem vessel age and vulnerability to cavitation of sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) was quantified by measuring the pressure required to force air across bordered pit membranes separating individual xylem vessels. We found that the bordered pit membranes of vessels located in current year xylem could withstand greater applied gas pressures (3.8 MPa) compared with border...
متن کاملCarbohydrate uptake from xylem vessels and its distribution among stem tissues and buds in walnut (Juglans regia L.).
Bud break pattern is a key determinant of tree architecture. The mechanisms leading to the precedence of certain buds over the others are not yet fully explained, but the availability of soluble sugars may play a significant role, especially those in the xylem sap at the onset of the growing period. Here, we measured carbon availability in the different tissues (bud, xylem and bark). To assess ...
متن کاملSpring filling of xylem vessels in wild grapevine.
Xylem vessels in grapevines Vitis labrusca L. and Vitis riparia Michx. growing in New England contained air over winter and yet filled with xylem sap and recovered their maximum hydraulic conductance during the month before leaf expansion in late May. During this period root pressures between 10 and 100 kilopascals were measured. Although some air in vessels apparently dissolved in ascending xy...
متن کاملSlow kinetics of water escape from randomly folded foils.
We study the kinetics of water escape from balls folded from square aluminum foils of different thickness and edge size. We found that the water discharge rate obeys the scaling relation Q ∝ V{P}(M-M{r}){α} with the universal scaling exponents α=3 ± 0.1, where V{P} is the volume of pore space, M(t) is the actual mass of water in the ball, and M{r} is the mass of residual water. The last is foun...
