Why are Chloris gayana leaves shorter in salt-affected plants? Analyses in the elongation zone.
Reduced hydraulic conductance calculated from growth data was suggested to be the main reason for reduced leaf expansion in salt-stressed Chloris gayana (Rhodes grass). In this work, xylem vessel cross-sections and wall enzyme activities were analysed to re-examine the effects of salinity on leaf growth in this species. Maximal segmental growth rates were 20% lower and the growth zone was 23% s...
متن کاملDrought effects on elongation kinetics and sugar deposition in the elongation zone of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) leaves
The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of drought stress on the kinetics of leaf elongation in relationship to the variation of sugar concentrations and their net deposition rates along the elongation zone of leaf 4 of durum wheat plants. Plants were grown in soil in a naturally illuminated greenhouse, and water...
متن کاملReactive oxygen species in the elongation zone of maize leaves are necessary for leaf extension.
The production and role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the expanding zone of maize (Zea mays) leaf blades were investigated. ROS release along the leaf blade was evaluated by embedding intact seedlings in 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein-containing agar and examining the distribution of 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein fluorescence along leaf 4, which was exposed by removing the outer leaves before embe...
متن کاملSalinity induced anatomical and morphological changes in Chloris gayana Kunth roots.
Chloris gayana Kunth is a grass species valuable as forage which was introduced into Argentina to be used as pasture in saline soils of subtropical and warm-temperate zones, given its good adaptability to drought, salinity and mild freezing. However, its tolerance varies according to the cultivar. In tetraploid cultivars, important reductions in yield have been observed. Here, a study of the va...
متن کاملWhy Are Bonsai Leaves Small?
where they make those critical decisions that govern their lives. You who garden certainly know that plants have a mind of their own. Given that humans, and the majority of animals, solve many of their stressful problems (say, hunger) with a change in behavior (foraging for food), where are these decisions made in plants? An intriguing, and visually pleasing, example of such decision-making can...
