Summary Understanding the proximate factors that govern widespread mast‐seeding process is a question of considerable interest remains poorly understood. The identity and effect these may vary among coexisting species differ in leaf habit, potentially resulting temporally asynchronous patterns seed production. In this study, we aim to identify causes using two oak with contrasting habit coexist southern Spain, deciduous Quercus canariensis evergreen Q. suber . Simultaneously, review...
Summary Xylem vulnerability to embolism represents an essential trait for the evaluation of impact hydraulics in plant function and ecology. The standard centrifuge technique is widely used construction curves, although its accuracy when applied species with long vessels remains under debate. We developed a simple diagnostic test determine whether open‐vessel artefact influences estimates resistance. samples from three differing vessel lengths were exposed less negative xylem pressures via...
Although the functional basis of variable and synchronous seed production (masting behavior) has been extensively investigated, only recently attention focused on proximate mechanisms driving this phenomenon. We analyzed relationship between weather acorn in 15 species oaks (genus Quercus) from three geographic regions two continents, with goals determining extent to which similar sets factors affect masting behavior across explore ecological for similarities detected. Lag-1 temporal...
Mast-seeding species exhibit not only a large inter-annual variability in seed production but also considerable among individuals within the same year. However, very little is known about causes and consequences for population dynamics of this potentially between-individual variability. Here, we quantified over ten consecutive years two Mediterranean oak – deciduous Quercus canariensis evergreen Q. suber - that coexist forests southern Spain. First, calibrated likelihood models to identify...
Pre-anthesis drought is expected to greatly increase yield losses in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), one of the most important crops worldwide. Most studies investigate effects pre-anthesis only at maturity. The physiology plant before anthesis and how it affected during less studied. Our study focused on physiological patterns plants pre- post-anthesis drought. To this end, we measured leaf xylem water potential, osmotic potential content different parts a high temporal frequency: every 3...
Background and objectives: Fruits vegetables are rich in components with health-promoting effects, such as vitamins. However, lack of compliance the recommended '5-a-day' is an issue most nations face. While these plant-based foods contain high levels vitamins other bio-compounds, their bioavailability questionable. Considerable research legislation have been devoted to claims that they promote health. little has investigated about overlap between what active our bodies authorised. In this...
During stem elongation, wheat (Triticum aestivum) increases its carbohydrate content before anthesis as a reserve for grain filling. Hydraulic functioning during this mobilization process is not well understood, and contradictory results exist on the direct effect of drought mobilization. In dedicated experiment, plants were subjected to stress Measurements, important better understand physiology, showed some unexpected patterns that could be explained by our current knowledge water...
