    Notes: Abstract It had been hypothesized that if daily CO2 assimilation is to be maximized at a given level of daily transpiration, stomatal apertures should change during the day so that the gain ratio (∂A/∂g)/(∂E/∂g) remains constant. These partial differentials describe the sensitivity of assimilation rate (A) and transpiration rate (E) to changes in stomatal conductance (g). Experiments were conducted to determine whether stomata respond to environment in a manner which results in constant gain ratios.Gas–exchange measurements were made of the stomatal and photosynthetic responses of Vigna unguiculata L. Walp. in controlled environments. Leaf conductance to water vapour responded to step changes in temperature and humidity so that for different steady-state conditions the gain ratio remained constant on all but one day. Depletion of water in the root zone resulted in day-to-day increases in gain ratio which were correlated with decreases in maximum leaf conductance to water vapour. The significance of the results for plant adaptation and stomatal mechanisms, and methods for measuring the gain ratio, are discussed.

    Carbon, water and nutrient relations of two mistletoes and their hosts: A hypothesis (1984)

    Notes: Abstract. The carbon, water and nutrient relations of the xylem parasites Loranthus europaeus and Viscum laxum and their respective hosts. Quercus robur and Pinus sylvestris, were followed throughout clear days in July in order to study water and nutrient interactions in a simple system in which the plant growth depends on the host for its water and nutrients. At similar quantum flux densities, temperatures and vapour pressure deficits, the mistletoes had higher rates of transpiration and lower leaf water potentials than their hosts, but similar rates of CO2 assimilation. Based on measurements of the nutrient content of the xylem and on seasonal measurements of the biomass and the tissue nutrient content, the present study suggests that the high rates of transpiration may be necessary for the parasites to take up sufficient nitrogen from the xylem of the host for production of biomass (leaves, fruits and stems).

    Notes: Abstract The southern Namib desert has a vegetation cover of mainly succulent plants in which species of the Mesembryanthemaceae are predominant. Climatically this area is characterized by hot and dry days, and cool and humid nights with episodic rainfalls only in winter. In this environment a great number of species perform a crassulaceaen acid metabolism (CAM). The responses of these plants to water stress as well as the regulation of CAM in the natural habitat are described and discussed.

    Notes: Summary The relation between daily maximal rates of net photosynthesis and plant water status was studied during a dry season on irrigated and non-irrigated, naturally growing, perennial wild plants. Species were examined which differ in phenology, leaf anatomy and morphology: Hammada scoparia, Artemisia herba-alba, Zygophyllum dumosum, and Reaumuria negevensis. Prumus armeniaca which was growing in the run-off farm at Avdat and which has mosomorphic leaves was included in the comparison. All plants differed in their seasonal change in plant water status, and in their seasonal change in daily maximal net photosynthesis. Rates of CO2 uptake were not uniquely related to simultanously measured leaf water potentials. Daily maximal rates of net photosynthesis of non-irrigated plants, and the difference between maximal CO2 uptake of irrigated and non-irrigated plants were examined in relation to pre-dawn water potential. Maximal net photosynthesis rates decreased very rapidly with decrease in pre-dawn water potential or, for Hammada scoparia, they decreased even with a constant level of pre-dawn water potential. Consequently, it was considered necessary to include both time and water potential in a parameter “bar day” describing the accumulated drought stress of the plants. All species showed the same relation between relative maximal net photosynthesis and drought experience as determined by cumulative daily addition of pre-dawn water potentials for the non-irrigated plants since the last rain.

    Long-term effects of drought on wild and cultivated plants in the Negev desert (1980)

    Notes: Summary The seasonal change in diurnal patterns of net photosynthesis and daily carbon gain is studied in relation to the plant water status of the irrigated and non-irrigated naturally growing desert species Hammada scoparia, Zygophyllum dumosum, Artemisia herba-alba and Reaumuria negevensis. Comparison is made to cultivated Prunus armeniaca. Under non-irrigated natural conditions Hammada scoparia, a C4 plant, showed one-peaked flat diurnal courses of CO2 uptake which changed into a pattern of a high morning peak of CO2 uptake or slightly two-speaked curves in the late dry season. In contrast, the C3 species Zygophyllum dumosum, Artemisia herba-alba and Prunus armeniaca changed from one-peaked to distinct two-peaked patterns. At the end of the dry season, non-irrigated plants showed respiration only. Reaumuria negevensis had one-peaked curves with a low level of CO2 uptake. There is no general relation between day-time CO2 gain and pre-dawn water potential for the investigated species. In order to characterize the effect of soil drought, the CO2 gain during day-time of non-irrigated plants is expressed as a percentage of the CO2 gain of the irrigated counterparts. After an initial period of minimal drought effect, the relative day-time CO2 gain decreases almost linearly with cumulative water stress as determined by the daily addition of pre-dawn water potentials for the non-irrigated plants since the last rainfall. The slope of decrease differs from species to species. The relation of daily CO2 gain to maximal net photosynthesis is discussed. Initially, at a good plant water status, the daily CO2 gain does not decrease in proportion to the maximal photosynthetic rates as a result of stomatal control at high photosynthetic activity. At increasing water stress the daily CO2 gain decreases more than proportionally to the decrease of the maximal rates.

    Notes: Abstract A portable porometer is described for measuring the steady-state CO2 and H2O exchange rates of leaves under natural conditions. The porometer has an open gas exchange system which monitors the differences in concentrations of CO2 and H2O entering and leaving a cuvette which is clamped on or around leaves. The cuvette is designed to maintain ambient air temperature and humidity around the leaf. This instrument may also be used to determine CO2 response curves in the field. Examples of diurnal courses are presented for attached leaves of different species having high and low rates of CO2 exchange.

    Effects of day-to-day changes in root temperature on leaf conductance to water vapour and CO2 assimilation rates of Vigna unguiculata L. Walp. (1982)
    Springer

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary Leaf gas exchange of Vigna unguiculata was influenced by short-term (day-to-day) changes in soil temperature and the response depended upon the aerial environment. When aerial conditions were constant at 30° C leaf temperature, high air humidity and moderate quantum flux, CO2 assimilation rate and leaf conductance increased with increases in soil temperature from 20 to 35° C, and this response was reversible. Decreases in CO2 assimilation rate and leaf conductance were observed at root temperatures above 30° C when root temperatures were increased from 20° C to 40° C and when air humidity was decreased in steps during the day. In contrast, varying soil temperatures between 20 to 35° C had no influence on gas exchange when shoots were subjected to a wide range of temperatures during each day. The gain ratio ∂A/τE remained constant at different air humidities when root temperature was less than or equal to 30° C indicating optimal gas exchange regulation, but changed with humidity at higher root temperatures. Leaf conductance responded independently from leaf water potential which remained relatively constant during individual experiments. The results indicate that plant responses to high root temperatures may have relevance to plant performance in semi-arid environments. They also illustrate the importance of controlling soil temperatures when studying the responses of potted plants in controlled aerial environments.

    Leaf temperatures and energy balance ofWelwitschia mirabilis in its natural habitat (1980)
    Springer
    Oecologia 44 (1980), S. 258-262 
    Details

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary Welwitschia mirabilis is a perennial desert plant with extremely large leaves (0.5–1.0 m broad, 1–2 m long). Leaf temperatures were measured in the field and the energy budget was calculated. The portions of the leaf which were kept above the ground had leaf temperatures which were only 4–6°C above air temperature. In the leaf portions which were in contact with the ground leaf temperatures were 6–12°C above air temperature (absolute maximum 51°C). The important feature in the energy budget ofWelwitschia mirabilis is its high reflectivity (38% of the global radiation). Only about 56% of the global radiation is absorbed by the thick leathery leaves. The energy loss due to convection is of the same order of magnitude as the reflection and it is abouy the same in the portions of leaf on and above the ground. The difference in leaf temperatures found in these portions is due to the loss of thermal radiation from the section of leaf above the ground to the cooler ground which is shaded by the leaf. The provision of a heat sink due to the large area of shade cast by these large leaves is of significance to the existence ofWelwitschia mirabilis in its arid habitats.
