Peach yield and fruit quality is maintained under mild deficit irrigation in semi-arid China

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2017
We conducted a two-year study of deficit irrigation impact on peach yield and quality in semi-arid northwest China. Over two years, four-year-old peach trees were irrigated at 100, 75, 50 and 25% of peach evapotranspiration (ETc), here, ETc= Coefficient (

Discerning the Difference Between Lumens and Scalariform Perforation Plates in Impeding Water Flow in Single Xylem Vessels and Vessel Networks in Cotton

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
The geometrical structure and spatial arrangement of lumens, bordered pits, and scalariform perforation plates in xylem vessels modulate water flow from roots to leaves. Understanding their respective hydraulic functions is essential to unveil how plants

Night transpiration of peanut affects interspecific water complementarity and use efficiency in maize/peanut intercropping

Agricultural Water Management
Interspecific competition for soil water between species in intercropping is critical for understanding the mechanism of resource use and overyielding in a mixture cropping system, however, it is difficult to measure plant transpiration because of ...

Liquid-solid interaction at nanoscale and its application in vegetal biology [PDF]

, 2011
The water ascent in tall trees is subject to controversy: the vegetal biologists debate on the validity of the cohesion-tension theory which considers strong negative pressures in microtubes of xylem carrying the crude sap. This article aims to point out

Fabrication of electrospun PVDF nanofibrous membrane for filtration of coconut inflorescence sap

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Electrospinning conditions for polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) nanofibrous membrane were optimized. The polymer solution's properties were analyzed. The developed membranes' average pore size was 478–543 nm. A fabricated membrane was used for the filtration of coconut inflorescence sap.

Elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration improves water use efficiency and growth of a widespread Cerrado tree species even under soil water deficit

Acta Botânica Brasílica
Changes in atmospheric CO2 levels are accompanied by ecological interactions involving other environmental factors, such as drought, which can severely alter the water balance of plants, thereby influencing sap flow, gas exchange, and plant growth.
