چکیده مقاله:

The effects of root temperatures (25, 35 and 45°C) and temperature duration (30, 60 and 90 min) on net photosynthesis rate, stomatal conductance and transpiration rate in Tradescantia pallida were investigated. The experiment was conducted under controlled conditions with factorial arrangement based on a completely randomized design (CRD) and four replications. Result showed that, net photosynthesis rate was not significantly different between plants treated with 25 and 35°C. However, aperture area and width increased at 35°C and declined sharply at 45 °C as compared with that at 25 °C. Net photosynthesis rate and stomata1 conductance of plants treated with 45°C decreased to 76 and 68%, respectively, as compared with those at 35°C. Stomatal aperture area of plants treated with 35°C was 27% and 320% higher than those treated with 25 and 45°C, respectively. Stomatal resistance of plants treated with high temperature (45°C) were higher (174%) than those treated with 35°C. In 35 °C, aperture area of plants after 30 min was 61% and 45% higher than those after 60 and 90 min exposure, respectively. The results revealed that, a heat shock of roots at 45°C could lead to a significant decrease in stomatal conductance (by 81%) and transpiration rate (by 60%) as compared with those at 35°C.  Overall, the results suggest that the root temperature affects leaf gas exchange and stomatal behavior and has to be taken into account in plant production system, in particular, hydroponics.

Nocturnal and daytime stomatal conductance respond to root-zone temperature in ‘Shiraz’ grapevines

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Daytime root-zone temperature may be a significant factor regulating water flux through plants. Water flux can also occur during the night but nocturnal stomatal response to environmental drivers such as root-zone temperature remains largely unknown. METHODS Here nocturnal and daytime leaf gas exchange was quantified in 'Shiraz' grapevines (Vitis vinifera) exposed to three...

Ability of Allium cepa L. root tips and Tradescantia pallida var. purpurea in N-nitrosodiethylamine genotoxicity and mutagenicity evaluation.

N-nitroso compounds, such as N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), can be formed by the reaction of secondary amines with nitrosating agents, and are suspected to be involved in tumors in humans. NDEA has been considered a weak carcinogen in genotoxic assays probably due to the inefficient nitrosamine activation system that is used and/or to the efficient repair system. In this work, we evaluated the s...

Tradescantia pallida cv. purpurea boom in the characterization of air pollution by accumulation of trace elements.

Tradescantia pallida cv. purpurea, a plant species widely employed for ornamentation in Brazil, has been successfully used for monitoring the genotoxicity of various agents by the micronucleus assay. To amplify knowledge about its suitability as a bioindicator species, its capacity for accumulating trace elements from urban air pollution was evaluated. T. pallida was rooted using standardized s...
