Regulation of Water Use in the Southernmost European Fir (Abies pinsapo Boiss.): Drought Avoidance Matters
The current scenario of global warming has resulted in considerable uncertainty regarding the capacity of forest trees to adapt to increasing drought. Detailed ecophysiological knowledge would provide a basis to forecast expected species dynamics in response to climate change. Here, we compare the water balance (stomatal conductance, xylem water potential, needle osmotic adjustment) of Abies pi...
متن کاملSpringtime resumption of photosynthesis in balsam fir (Abies balsamea).
Photosynthesis in balsam fir (Abies balsamea (L.) Mill.) was measured in the field at two locations in New Brunswick, Canada from late winter to late spring in 2004 and 2005. No photosynthesis was detectable while the soil remained below 0 degrees C throughout the rooting zone. In both years, photosynthesis began once soil temperature rose to 0 degrees C. In potted seedlings in growth chambers,...
متن کاملSources of variation in ecophysiological parameters in Douglas-fir and grand fir canopies.
Forest process models predict ecosystem responses from climate variables and physiological parameters. The parameters describe key ecosystem attributes, often as lumped averages. However, the sources and magnitude of variation in these physiological parameters are unknown, which complicates sampling if models are to be parameterized with field measurements. We measured several key parameters, w...
متن کاملResponse of the callus cells of fir (Abies nordmanniana) to in vitro heavy metal stress
The aim of the presented research was to investigate the effect of three heavy metals – lead, cadmium and copper – on the callus cells of Abies nordmanniana. The toxicity degree and toxicity effect of the selected heavy metals was determined on the embryonic level. On the basis of the spectrometric analyses as well as macroscopic and microscopic observations, this research referred to the accum...
متن کاملMonoterpene synthases from grand fir (Abies grandis). cDNA isolation, characterization, and functional expression of myrcene synthase, (-)-(4S)-limonene synthase, and (-)-(1S,5S)-pinene synthase.
Grand fir (Abies grandis) has been developed as a model system for studying defensive oleoresin formation in conifers in response to insect attack or other injury. The turpentine fraction of the oleoresin is a complex mixture of monoterpene (C10) olefins in which (-)-limonene and (-)-alpha- and (-)-beta-pinene are prominent components; (-)-limonene and (-)-pinene synthase activities are also in...
