Differential Hydraulic Properties and Primary Metabolism in Fine Root of Avocado Trees Rootstocks

open access: yesPlants, 2022
Avocados (Persea americana Mill.) are one of the crops with the highest water footprints in Chile and the production is at risk due to severe and frequent droughts.

Water Uptake by Artemisia ordosica Roots at Different Topographic Positions in an Alpine Desert Dune on the Northeastern Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Different strategies of water uptake by roots in a semi-arid desert are one way that plants adapt to the water-limited environment. In this study, stable isotopes of δ18O were used to analyze the variability in water sources of the native species ...

Water Uptake and Water Diffusivity of Seeds [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 1976
When pea (Pisum sativum) seeds were wetted, a sharp front separated the wet and dry portions, the seeds swelled, and the water content in the wetted portion continued to increase for a long time. A model was proposed and tested that takes into account these three characteristics and in particular does not postulate a constant diffusivity.

Effects of Active and Passive Modified Atmosphere Packaging on the Vase Life and Quality of Narcissus (Narcissus tazetta L.) ‘Shahla’ Cut Flowers

open access: yesJournal of Horticultural Research, 2023
The production of ornamental flowers in the horticultural sector is costly; therefore, finding treatments to reduce postharvest losses and extend the vase life of cut flower is essential in this industry.

Uncorrected soil water isotopes through cryogenic vacuum distillation may lead to a false estimation on plant water sources

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Successful use of stable isotopes (δ2H and δ18O) in ecohydrological studies relies on the accurate extraction of unfractionated water from different types of soil samples.

Defoliation‐induced compensatory transpiration is compromised in SUT4‐RNAi Populus

open access: yesPlant Direct, 2020
The tonoplast sucrose transporter PtaSUT4 is well expressed in leaves of Populus tremula × Populus alba (INRA 717‐IB4), and its inhibition by RNA‐interference (RNAi) alters leaf sucrose homeostasis.

Bark-Water Interactions Across Ecosystem States and Fluxes

open access: yesFrontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021
To date, the perspective of forest ecohydrologists has heavily focused on leaf-water interactions – leaving the ecohydrological roles of bark under-studied, oversimplified, or omitted from the forest water cycle.

Effect of Planting Time and Corms Treatment with Gibberellic Acid on Growth, Flowering, and Vase Life of Freesia hybrida ‘Corona’

open access: yesJournal of Horticultural Research, 2021
Freesia hybrida is one of the most important cut flowers with a short vase life. The present study was conducted to explain the effect of the two planting dates December 1st and 15th and soaking corms before planting in gibberellic acid at concentrations

Improved Hydrolytic and Mechanical Stability of Sulfonated Aromatic Proton Exchange Membranes Reinforced by Electrospun PPSU Fibers

open access: yesMembranes, 2022
The hydrolytic stability of ionomer membranes is a matter of concern for the long-term durability of energy storage and conversion devices. Various reinforcement strategies exist for the improvement of the performances of the overall membrane. We propose
