Evolution of water transport and xylem structure [PDF]
International Journal of Plant Sciences, 2003 journal articleLand plants need water to replace the evaporation that occurs while atmospheric CO2 is diffusing into photosynthetic tissue. The water-for-carbon exchange rate is poor, and evolutionary history indicates a progression of innovations for ...

Plant, Cell and Environment, 2023 Plants perceive environmental stresses as whole organisms via distant signals conveying danger messages through their vasculature. In parallel to vascular transport, airborne plant volatile compounds, including green leaf volatiles (GLVs), can bypass the

The dynamic multi-functionality of leaf water transport outside the xylem.
New Phytologist, 2023 A surge of papers have reported low leaf vulnerability to xylem embolism during drought. Here, we focus on the less studied, and more sensitive, outside-xylem leaf hydraulic responses to multiple internal and external conditions.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021 Significance Plant vascular systems play a central role in global water and carbon cycles and drought resistance. These vascular systems perform multiple functions that affect the fitness of plants, and trade-offs are present among these functions.

Terpenoids are transported in the xylem sap of Norway spruce [PDF]
Plant, Cell & Environment, 2020 AbstractNorway spruce is a conifer storing large amounts of terpenoids in resin ducts of various tissues. Parts of the terpenoids stored in needles can be emitted together with de novo synthesized terpenoids. Since previous studies provided hints on xylem transported terpenoids as a third emission source, we tested if terpenoids are transported in ...

Dye-tracer-aided investigation of xylem water transport velocity distributions [PDF]
, 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

Transport of Sodium into the Xylem Exudate of Tobacco [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1972 When tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. var. Virginia Gold) plants were pretreated with Na ((22)Na) several days before detopping, from 2.3 to 4.9% of Na previously accumulated in roots appeared in the xylem exudate in 7 days after detopping. Na from the external medium, however, was readily transported to the exudate.

Transport of Nitrogen in the Xylem of Soybean Plants [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1979 Experiments were conducted to characterize the distribution of N compounds in the xylem sap of nodulated and nonnodulated soybean plants through development and to determine the effects of exogenous N on the distribution of N compounds in the xylem. Xylem sap was collected from nodulated and nonnodulated greenhouse-grown soybean plants (Glycine max [L.]

Xylem-based long-distance transport and phloem remobilization of copper in Salix integra Thunb.
Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2020 Due to high biomass and an ability to accumulate metals, fast-growing tree species are good candidates for phytoremediation. However, little is known about the long-distance transport of heavy metals in woody plants. The present work focused on the xylem
