Water relations of Calycanthus flowers: hydraulic conductance, capacitance, and embolism resistance.
For most angiosperms, producing and maintaining flowers is critical to sexual reproduction, yet little is known about the physiological processes involved in maintaining flowers throughout anthesis. Among extant species, flowers of the genus Calycanthus have the highest hydraulic conductance and vein densities of species measured to date, yet they can wilt by late morning under hot conditions. ...
متن کاملHydraulic conductance and the maintenance of water balance in flowers.
Flowers face desiccating conditions, yet little is known about their ability to transport water. We quantified variability in floral hydraulic conductance (Kflower ) for 20 species from 10 families and related it to traits hypothesized to be associated with liquid and vapour phase water transport. Basal angiosperm flowers had trait values associated with higher water and carbon costs than monoc...
متن کاملModelling the outside-xylem hydraulic conductance: towards a new understanding of leaf water relations.
One of the most tantalizing unresolved questions in plant hydraulics is: where does water evaporate within the leaf? While several studies have explored experimental routes to answer this question (e.g. Sheriff & Meidner 1974; Farquhar & Raschke 1978), none have been able to provide a clear answer. In this issue of Plant, Cell & Environment, Tom Buckley has presented a new mathematical model in...
متن کاملGeographical variation in water relations, hydraulic architect
leaf hydraulic conductance, components of tissue water potential, hydraulic architecture parameters and xylem embolism were examined in greenhouse-grown two-year-old Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis Mill.) seedlings from six origins representing the geographic range of the species in Italy. Cortical resin composition of the seedlings was also determined. Measurements were made on well-watered seed...
متن کاملCharacterization of Reservoir Heterogeneity by Capacitance-resistance Model in Water-flooding Projects
Tedious calculations and simulations are needed to obtain an efficient production scenario and/orproper field development strategy. Capacitance-resistance model (CRM) is proved to be a fastreservoir simulation tool using just the field-available data of production and injection rates. Thisapproach sets a time-constant and a weighting factor (or well-pair connectivity parameter...
