Distribution of xylem hydraulic resistance in fruiting truss of tomato influenced by water stress [PDF]
, 2003 In this study xylem hydraulic resistances of peduncles (truss stalk), pedicels (fruit stalk) and the future abscission zone (AZ) halfway along the pedicel of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) plants were directly measured at different stages of fruit ...

Quantifying the Capacity of Phloem Loading in Leaf Disks with [14C]Sucrose
Bio-Protocol, 2017 Phloem loading and transport of photoassimilate from photoautotrophic source leaves to heterotrophic sink organs are essential physiological processes that help the disparate organs of a plant function as a single, unified organism.

Green thermoelectrics: Observation and analysis of plant thermoelectric response
, 2015 Plants are sensitive to thermal and electrical effects; yet the coupling of both, known as thermoelectricity, and its quantitative measurement in vegetal systems never were reported.

Long-Distance Phloem Transport of Glucosinolates in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2001 Abstract Glucosinolates are a large group of plant secondary metabolites found mainly in the order Capparales, which includes a large number of economically important Brassica crops and the model plant Arabidopsis. In the present study, several lines of evidence are provided for phloem transport of glucosinolates in Arabidopsis.

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Climate change is making water availability more uncertain, with growing consequences for the productivity and long‐term sustainability of tropical and subtropical fruit orchards. Mangifera indica L. and Persea americana Mill. both require large amounts of water to sustain growth and productivity.

Increasing leaf hydraulic conductance with transpiration rate minimizes the water potential drawdown from stem to leaf. [PDF]
, 2014 Leaf hydraulic conductance (k leaf) is a central element in the regulation of leaf water balance but the properties of k leaf remain uncertain. Here, the evidence for the following two models for k leaf in well-hydrated plants is evaluated: (i) k leaf is

Borax Promotes Fertility of Brassica napus Better Than Other Boron Species at Suboptimal Supply
Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Continuous and sufficient boron (B) supply is essential for achieving maximum yield in Brassica napus. Increasing incidences of environmental water limitation are linked to reduced plant B availability and increased B deficiencies.

The dynamics of embolism refilling in abscisic acid (ABA)-deficient tomato plants. [PDF]
, 2012 Plants are in danger of embolism formation in xylem vessels when the balance between water transport capacity and transpirational demand is compromised.
