Dye-tracer-aided investigation of xylem water transport velocity distributions [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2023 The vast majority of studies investigating the source depths in the soil of root water uptake with the help of stable water isotopes implicitly assumes that the isotopic signatures of root water uptake and xylem water are identical. In this study we show

NUT1-Exo70A1 Regulates Xylem Vessel Development and Influences Water Use Efficiency in Maize [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsEfficient water uptake and transport through xylem vessels are essential for plant growth and development. The patterned secondary cell wall (SCW) structure of xylem vessels provides robust mechanical support to withstand the strong negative pressure ...

Scaling of xylem and phloem transport capacity and resource usage with tree size
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013 Xylem and phloem need to maintain steady transport rates of water and carbohydrates to match the exchange rates of these compounds at the leaves. A major proportion of the carbon and nitrogen assimilated by a tree is allocated to the construction and ...

Maintenance of xylem network transport capacity: a review of embolism repair in vascular plants
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013 Maintenance of long distance water transport in xylem is essential to plant health and productivity. Both biotic and abiotic environmental conditions lead to embolism formation within the xylem resulting in lost transport capacity and ultimately death ...

Vertical Stratification Drives Divergent Spatial Trade‐Offs Among Xylem Cell Types in Angiosperm Trees of a Mountain Forest in Eastern China [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionVertical stratification in forests acts as an ecological filter, driving woody plants to evolve specialized survival strategies. Angiosperms, in particular, develop secondary xylem with three interdependent functions—water transport, mechanical support ...

A node-localized efflux transporter for loading iron to developing tissues in rice [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsIron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for plant growth and development. It plays crucial roles in various organs and tissues of plants, but the molecular mechanisms governing its distribution to the above-ground parts after root uptake remain unclear ...

The effects of rising atmospheric carbon dioxide on shoot-root nitrogen and water signaling. [PDF]
, 2013 Terrestrial higher plants are composed of roots and shoots, distinct organs that conduct complementary functions in dissimilar environments. For example, roots are responsible for acquiring water and nutrients such as inorganic nitrogen from the soil ...
