Water relations of the pine exine.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Water adhesion forces, water absorption capacity and permeability of the pine exine were investigated to consider a possible function of sporopollenin coatings in the control of water transport. METHODS The experiments were carried out with sporopollenin capsules obtained from pine pollen consisting of an empty central capsule and two sacci. Changes in the concentration of...
متن کاملWater relations of pine seedlings in contrasting overstory environments
Overstory conditions influence understory microclimate and resource availability, leading to gradients in evaporative demand andmoisture availability that influence seedlingwater relations. Partial canopies may either reduce seedling moisture stress by ameliorating environmental conditions, or increase moisture stress by reducing soil moisture availability. This study used stable isotope ratios...
متن کاملWater availability and genetic effects on water relations of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) stands.
The effect of water availability on water relations of 11-year-old loblolly pine stands was studied over two growing seasons in material from two contrasting seed sources. Increasing soil water availability via irrigation increased transpiration rate, and maximum daily transpiration rate on irrigated plots was similar for both seasons, reaching values of 4.3 mm day(-)(1). Irrigation also change...
متن کاملTree water relations can trigger monoterpene emissions from Scots pine stems during spring recovery
Tree canopies are known to emit large amounts of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) such as monoterpenes into the surrounding air. High VOC emission rates from boreal forests have been observed during the transition from winter to summer activity. The most important sources of these are considered to be the green foliage, understory vegetation and soil organisms, but emissions from the living st...
متن کاملWater Relations in the Cell
Chloroplasts may contract under natural conditions and give up water to the rest of the cell, thus indicating changes in metabolism or constitution. Such contractions may be produced experimentally. In Nitella the chloroplasts are ellipsoid bodies which, under natural conditions, may contract to spheres with a loss of volume. This may be brought about by lead acetate, ferric chloride, and digit...
