Tree hydrodynamic modelling of the soil–plant–atmosphere continuum using FETCH3 [PDF]
Modelling the water transport along the soil–plant–atmosphere continuum is fundamental to estimating and predicting transpiration fluxes. A Finite-difference Ecosystem-scale Tree Crown Hydrodynamics model (FETCH3) for the water fluxes across the soil ...

Vascular Connections Into the Grape Berry: The Link of Structural Investment to Seededness
Vascular bundles in the grape pedicel and berry contain the conduits, phloem and xylem, for transport of water, sugar, nutrients and signals into and through the grape berry and play a critical role in berry growth and composition.

Stem hydraulic capacitance decreases with drought stress : implications for modelling tree hydraulics in the Mediterranean oak Quercus ilex [PDF]
Hydraulic modelling is a primary tool to predict plant performance in future drier scenarios. However, as most tree models are validated under non-stress conditions they may fail when water becomes limiting.

Terpenoids are transported in the xylem sap of Norway spruce [PDF]
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 ...

Putting two water transport models to the test under wet and dry conditions [PDF]
In order to improve fruit quality and quantity, accurate monitoring of the water status is necessary. The water status can be continuously predicted by using a mechanistic water transport and storage model (e.g. Steppe et al., 2006; 2008).

Heavy Metals in Crop Plants: Transport and Redistribution Processes on the Whole Plant Level
Copper, zinc, manganese, iron, nickel and molybdenum are essential micronutrients for plants. However, when present in excess they may damage the plant or decrease the quality of harvested plant products.

Relationships between hydraulic traits and habitat preference for six Acer species occurring in the French Alps [PDF]
Xylem hydraulic properties and vulnerability to cavitation were studied in six Acer species which occur, in the French Alps, along a soil moisture gradient from the moist valleys to the drier mountain stands.

Radial Transport of Sodium and Chloride into Tomato Root Xylem [PDF]
Transport of Na and Cl across exuding tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) roots was determined as a function of ambient NaCl concentrations in the ranges of both systems 1 and 2. Kinetics of radial transport under steady-state conditions and the effect of dinitrophenol indicate that Na and Cl were transported by two different mechanisms.
