Effect of plant cover type on soil water budget and tree photosynthesis in jujube orchards

open access: yes, 2017
The traditional soil management practice used in rainfed orchards in the Chinese Loess Plateau is clear cultivation (bare soil). This system leads to severe water erosion and considerable loss of water as runoff during heavy rainfall, especially on steep

L‐aspartate oxidase provides new insights into fumarate reduction in anaerobic darkness in Synechocystis sp. PCC6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Synechocystis strains deficient in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) secrete more succinate than the WT under dark anaerobic conditions, supporting that SDH then primarily acts as SDH, not as a fumarate reductase. L‐aspartate oxidase (Laspo) from Synechocystis is functional under anaerobic conditions, reducing fumarate to succinate.

Assessment of the viability of using saline reclaimed water in grapefruit in medium to long term

open access: yesSpanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2014
Citrus trees are strongly affected by salinity, especially in countries where irrigation is required as a semi-arid Mediterranean agronomic region. The aims of the study were i) to identify the best reliable plant-based water status indicator for field ...

Water immunity overrides stomatal immunity in plant resistance to Pseudomonas syringae

open access: yes
Stomata play crucial roles in the multilayered defense system against pathogens. Upon pathogen perception, stomata close promptly, establishing the first line of defense known as stomatal immunity.

Midday measurements of leaf water potential and stomatal conductance are highly correlated with daily water use of Thompson Seedless grapevines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A study was conducted to determine the relationship between midday measurements of vine water status and daily water use of grapevines measured with a weighing lysimeter. Water applications to the vines were terminated on August 24th for 9 days and again

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

Problems Associated with Measuring Plant Water Status [PDF]

open access: yesHortScience, 1990
The water status of plant cells affects physiological and metabolic activities as well as expansion and growth. Accurate measurements of plant water status are essential for a better understanding of productivity under various environmental conditions.

Development of an integrated plant-based image sensing system for soil-water and nitrogen status estimation in cotton

open access: yes, 2015
Optimal crop yields require optimisation of both water and nitrogen application. Industry-standard soil-water sensors require contact with the soil and provide information for a single point in the field although there is often spatial variability in ...

The heterodimeric amino acid transporters (HAT) of the SLC7/SLC3 family: A structure−function relationships and relevance to human pathology

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.

Influence of nocturnal water dynamics on gas exchange and biomass accumulation in hydroponic basil

open access: yesScientia Horticulturae
Plant growth is dependent on water status, which can be manipulated by altering the water potential in the root zone or modifying atmospheric humidity around shoots.
