Abstract The contrasting hydraulic properties of wheat (Triticum aestivum), narrow-leafed lupin (Lupinus angustifolius), and yellow luteus) roots were identified by integrating measurements water flow across different structural levels organization with anatomy modeling. Anatomy played a major role in root hydraulics, influencing axial conductance (L ax) the distribution uptake along root, more localized for aquaporins (AQPs). Lupin had greater L ax than roots, due to xylem development. r)...

The photoelectron spectra excited by 21.21-eV photons in argon, krypton, xenon, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon monoxide, oxygen, and nitric oxide have been re-examined using a 180° magnetic-field electron velocity analyzer. In favorable cases peaks corresponding to vibrational levels the resulting positive ion are completely resolved giving directly Franck—Condon factors. Where not fully resolved, relative order of intensities is apparent comparison made with calculations Vibrational structure...
