Boron deficiency responses in maize (Zea mays L.) roots
Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Background Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient for plants. Dicot plants respond to insufficient B supply by altering root architecture and root hair growth. How root systems of rather low‐B demanding monocot species such as maize (Zea mays L.) respond to B deficiency in terra has not been experimentally resolved, yet.

New type of vulnerability curve gives insight in the hydraulic capacitance and conductivity of the xylem [PDF]
, 2013 Drought vulnerability of trees and other woody plants is much debated in the context of climate change, which creates a high interest in understanding plant water relations.

Xylem surfactants introduce a new element to the cohesion-tension theory [PDF]
, 2016 Vascular plants transport water under negative pressure without constantly creating gas bubbles that would disable their hydraulic systems. Attempts to replicate this feat in artificial systems almost invariably result in bubble formation, except under ...

Tree differences in primary and secondary growth drive convergent scaling in leaf area to sapwood area across Europe [PDF]
, 2018 open28siTrees scale leaf (AL) and xylem (AX) areas to couple leaf transpiration and carbon gain with xylem water transport. Some species are known to acclimate in AL : AX balance in response to climate conditions, but whether trees of different species ...

Studying in vivo dynamics of xylem-transported 11CO2 using positron emission tomography [PDF]
, 2020 Respired CO2 in woody tissues can build up in the xylem and dissolve in the sap solution to be transported through the plant. From the sap, a fraction of the CO2 can either be radially diffuse to the atmosphere or be assimilated in chloroplasts present ...

Measurement of sap flow dynamics through the tomato peduncle using a non-invasive sensor based on the heat field deformation method [PDF]
, 2013 Recent contradicting evidence on the contributions of xylem and phloem to tomato fruit growth highlights the need for a more thorough insight into the dynamics of sap flow through the tomato peduncle. In fact, knowledge on sap flow dynamics through small

Comparative genomics reveals conservative evolution of the xylem transcriptome in vascular plants
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010 Background Wood is a valuable natural resource and a major carbon sink. Wood formation is an important developmental process in vascular plants which played a crucial role in plant evolution.
