Nocturnal stomatal conductance in wheat is growth‐stage specific and shows genotypic variation

Genetic variation in circadian regulation of nocturnal stomatal conductance 1 enhances carbon assimilation and growth 2 3 Running head : On the function of nocturnal stomatal conductance 4 5

Genetic variation in circadian regulation of nocturnal stomatal conductance enhances carbon assimilation and growth.

Circadian resonance, whereby a plant's endogenous rhythms are tuned to match environmental cues, has been repeatedly shown to be adaptive, although the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Concomitantly, the adaptive value of nocturnal transpiration in C3 plants remains unknown because it occurs without carbon assimilation. These seemingly unrelated processes are interconnected because circadi...

Genotypic Variation in Wheat Flour Lysophospholipids.

Lysophospholipids (LPLs) are the most abundant polar lipids in wheat endosperm and naturally complex with amylose, affecting starch physicochemical properties. We analyzed LPLs in wheat flour from 58 cultivars which differ by grain hardness using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LCMS). There were significant differences in LPL content between cultivars, demonstrating that genotype rathe...

Nocturnal and daytime stomatal conductance respond to root-zone temperature in ‘Shiraz’ grapevines

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Daytime root-zone temperature may be a significant factor regulating water flux through plants. Water flux can also occur during the night but nocturnal stomatal response to environmental drivers such as root-zone temperature remains largely unknown. METHODS Here nocturnal and daytime leaf gas exchange was quantified in 'Shiraz' grapevines (Vitis vinifera) exposed to three...
