Isotopic composition of transpiration and rates of change in leaf water isotopologue storage in response to environmental variables.
During daylight hours, the isotope composition of leaf water generally approximates steady-state leaf water isotope enrichment model predictions. However, until very recently there was little direct confirmation that isotopic steady-state (ISS) transpiration in fact exists. Using isotope ratio infrared spectroscopy (IRIS) and leaf gas exchange systems we evaluated the isotope composition of tra...
متن کاملTranspiration stream & ascension of calcium.
Since Cline's report (5) of a very slow equilibration in the leaves of tritiated water absorbed by the roots of bean plants, no resolution has been made between his expressed alternative views that this was due A, to failure of tissue water to exchange with the incoming tritium-labeled water, or B, to a large isotope effect. During the preparation of the present manuscript Vartapetyan and Kursa...
متن کاملAntihypertensive and Diuretic Effects of the Aqueous Extract of Colocasia esculenta Linn. Leaves in Experimental Paradigms
Colocasia esculenta Linn (CE) is traditionally used for the treatment of various ailments such as high blood pressure, rheumatic pain, pulmonary congestion, etc. Hence in present study, the effect of aqueous extract of CE leaves (AECE) was evaluated for antihypertensive and acute diuretic activity in rats. Preliminary phytochemical evaluation revealed the presence of carbohydrate, saponins...

متن کاملIndirect suppression of photosynthesis on individual leaves by arthropod herbivory.
BACKGROUND Herbivory reduces leaf area, disrupts the function of leaves, and ultimately alters yield and productivity. Herbivore damage to foliage typically is assessed in the field by measuring the amount of leaf tissue removed and disrupted. This approach assumes the remaining tissues are unaltered, and plant photosynthesis and water balance function normally. However, recent application of t...
