During the night, plant water loss can occur either through the roots, as hydraulic redistribution (HR), or through the leaves via the stoma, as nocturnal transpiration (En), which was methodologically difficult to separate from stem refilling (Re). While HR and En have been reported across a range of species, ecosystem, and climate zone, there is little understanding on the interactions betwee...

Fifteen, 1-year-old Populus maximowiczii Henry x P. nigra L. 'MN9' trees were decapitated and allowed to sprout. After 8 weeks, all had 6 to 10 coppice shoots. All shoots, except the tallest (dominant) shoot, were removed from five of the trees (pruned treatment), and shoot growth, gas exchange and carbohydrate status were compared in the pruned and unpruned trees. Although photosynthetic rate ...

Performing root-based searching, concordancing, and grammar checking in Arabic requires an efficient method for matching stems with roots and vice versa. Such mapping is complicated by the hundreds of manifestations of the same root; the radicals often undergo replacement, fusion, inversion, and/or deletion. It is a challenge, therefore, to keep track of original radicals. An algorithm based on...

The Cactaceae family makes use of different strategies, both physiological and biochemical, for anatomical adjustments that allow them to grow reproduce in arid environments. Morphological studies Gymnocalycium have been scarce, the anatomy phytochemistry are still largely unknown. aim present work was analyze structural, physiological, biochemical features marianae G. oenanthemum, two endemic ...

• Many wetland plants produce aquatic adventitious roots from submerged stems. Aquatic roots can form chloroplasts, potentially producing endogenous carbon and oxygen. Here, aquatic root photosynthesis was evaluated in the wetland plant Meionectes brownii, which grows extensive stem-borne aquatic roots during submergence. • Underwater photosynthetic light and CO(2) response curves were determin...

Paulownia species are fast growing trees native to China, which being grown in managed plantings several European countries for the production of wood and biomasses. In 2018, wilting, stunting, leaf yellowing, collapse, as a consequence root crown rot, were observed around 40% 2-year-old planting elongata × P. fortunei Calabria (Southern Italy). Two Phytophthora consistently recovered from root...

Phytochemical investigations on the stem bark and roots of the tropical shrub Clausena anisata led to the isolation and characterization three carbazole alkaloids: girinimbine, murrayamine-A and ekeberginine; two peptide derivatives: aurantiamide acetate and N-benzoyl-L-phenylalaninyl-N-benzoyl-L-phenylalaninate; and a mixture of two phytosterols: sitosterol and stigmasterol. The structures of ...
