TEMPERATURE AND STOMATAL RESISTANCE OF SOYBEAN LEAVES

Endogenous Rhythms in Photosynthesis, Sucrose Phosphate Synthase Activity, and Stomatal Resistance in Leaves of Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.).

Experiments were conducted with soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr. cv ;Ransom') plants to determine if diurnal rhythms in net carbon dioxide exchange rate (CER), stomatal resistance, and sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS) activity persisted in constant environmental conditions (constant light, LL; constant dark DD) and to assess the importance of these rhythms to the production of nonstructural carb...

Comparison of photosynthetic efficiency and stomatal distribution in detached leaves of four rose species

Influence of cadmium on water relations, stomatal resistance, and abscisic Acid content in expanding bean leaves.

Ten day old bush bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv Contender) were used to analyze the effects of 3 micromolar Cd on the time courses of expansion growth, dry weight, leaf water relations, stomatal resistance, and abscisic acid (ABA) levels in roots and leaves. Control and Cd-treated plants were grown for 144 hours in nutrient solution. Samples were taken at 24 hour intervals. At the 96 and...

Soybean leaves contain multiple lipoxygenases.

Chromatofocusing of soybean (Glycine max L.) leaf lipoxygenases revealed three distinct peaks of activity. Based on their isoelectric points (pls), pH optima, and mutant analysis it appears that the leaf isozymes are different from those described from mature soybean seed. At least one leaf lipoxygenase appears to differ from those found in hypocotyls. The pls of the main bands of the three lea...

Stomatal development in new leaves is related to the stomatal conductance of mature leaves in poplar (Populus trichocarpaxP. deltoides).

In general, stomatal density (SD) decreases when plants are grown at high CO2 concentrations. Recent studies suggest that signals produced from mature leaves regulate the SD of expanding leaves. To determine the underlying driver of these signals in poplar (Populus trichocarpaxP. deltoides) saplings, a cuvette system was used whereby the environment around mature (lower) leaves could be control...
