RESUMO

Photosynthesis, understood as the photosynthetic carbon assimilation rate, is one of the key processes affected by drought stress. The effects can be via decreased CO2 diffusion and biochemical constraints. However, there is still no unified consensus about the contribution of each mechanism to the drought response. This research assessed the underlying limitations to photosynthesis in nine peanut genotypes (Arachis hypogaea L.) with different water strategies (water savers vs water spenders) under progressive drought. Water saver cultivars close the stomata earlier during drought, resulting in decreased transpiration and photosynthesis, which results in less water depletion in the soil, while water spenders maintain the stomata open during drought. In order to test the performance of these genotypes, growth, transpiration per plant, gas exchange measurements, chlorophyll fluorescence and A/Ci response curves were analyzed under drought and well-watered conditions. In general, drought first affected photosynthesis (at the leaf and canopy level) via stomatal closure and then by impacts on chlorophyll fluorescence in all genotypes, but at different intensity levels. The maximum rate of carboxylation and the maximum rate of electron transport, physiological characteristics related to biochemical constraints, were not affected during the onset of drought, but they were decreased at the end of the drought period, with the exception of the PI 493329 genotype that showed higher stomatal conductance due to a bigger root system. The findings presented here highlight the importance of genetic variation in the photosynthetic response of peanut to drought, which should be considered when breeding for future climates.

RESUMO

Crop yields are affected by hydroclimatic and edaphic conditions, but their interacting roles are often neglected when assessing crop yields at the regional scale. Moreover, often used hydroclimatic conditions such as precipitation and temperature are not as physiologically linked to primary production and yields as actual evapotranspiration. Using statistical models, we quantified the combined effects of edaphic and hydroclimatic conditions on county yields of irrigated rice and rainfed corn, soybean, and spring and winter wheat in the USA (2000-2019). Precipitation and temperature, or actual evapotranspiration, aggregated during the growing season or before and after flowering/silk emergence, in interaction with soil sand content or bulk density, explained up to 87 % of the yield variability. However, actual evapotranspiration explained yields better than precipitation and temperature and their interactions for most combinations of crops and growth periods. At high actual evapotranspiration, yield plateaued or, for spring wheat, decreased. Yields were generally most sensitive to changes in hydroclimatic conditions during part of rather than the entire growing season, and most often after flowering. Soil texture and bulk density modulated the impacts of hydroclimatic conditions: corn and soybean yields were higher in finer soils compared with sandy soils under high evapotranspiration, but lower at low evapotranspiration. Additionally, the yield-maximizing precipitation decreased with sand content and increased with bulk density for most crops. Increasingly available actual evapotranspiration estimates, combined with soil properties, offer an alternative, and more physiologically-based, yield predictor over large climatic gradients to the more widely used precipitation and temperature.

RESUMO

Measurements of resistance to embolism suggest that Cupressus sempervirens has a stem xylem that resists embolism at very negative water potentials, with 50% embolism (P50) at water potentials of approximately -10 MPa. However, field observations in a semi-arid region suggest tree mortality occurs before 10% embolism. To explore the interplay between embolism and plant mortality, we conducted a controlled drought experiment involving two types of CS seedlings: a local seed source (S-type) and a drought-resistant clone propagated from a semi-arid forest (C-type). We measured resistance to embolism, leaf relative water content (RWC), water potential, photosynthesis, electrolyte leakage (EL), plant water loss, leaf hydraulic conductivity, and leaf non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) content during plant dehydration and before rewatering. All measured individuals were monitored for survival or mortality. While the S- and C-types differed in P50, transpiration, and mortality rates, both displayed seedling mortality corresponding to threshold values of 52-55% leaf RWC, 55% and 18.5% percent loss of conductivity (PLC) in the xylem, which corresponds to 48% and 37% average EL values for S and C types, respectively. Although C-type C. sempervirens NSC content increased in response to drought, no differences were observed in NSC content between live and dead seedlings of both types. Our findings do not fully explain tree mortality in the field but they do indicate that loss of membrane integrity occurs before or at xylem water potential, leading to hydraulic failure.

RESUMO

Leaf inclination angle (LIA) and tillering impact the winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) population canopy structure. Understanding their effects on water use (WU) parameters and yield can guide water-saving strategies through population control. In this study, six near-isogenic lines (NILs) and their parents were selected as materials. These special materials were characterized by varying tillering at the current sowing density, a similar genetic background, and, particularly, a gradient in mean flag leaf LIA. The investigation focused on the jointing to early grain-filling stage, the peak water requirement period of wheat crops. Population-scale transpiration (PT) and evaporation from the soil surface (E) were partitioned from total evapotranspiration (ET) by the means of micro-lysimeters. The results showed decreased PT, E, and ET with increased population density (PD) within a narrow density range derived from varying tillering across genotypes. Significant correlations existed between PD and ET, E, and PT, especially in the wettest 2017-2018 growing season. Within such narrow PD range, all the correlations between WU parameters and PD were negative, although some correlations were not statistically significant, thereby suggesting the population structure's predominant impact. No significant correlation existed between LIA and both ET and PT within the LIA range of 35°-65°. However, significant correlations occurred between LIA and E in two growing seasons. Genotypes with similar LIA but different PD produced varied ET; while with similar PD, the four pairs of genotypes with different LIA each consumed similar ET, thus highlighting PD's more crucial role in regulating ET. The yield increased with higher LIA, and showed a significant correlation, emphasizing the LIA's significant effect on yield. However, no correlation was observed with PD, indicating the minor effect of tillering at the current sowing density. Therefore these results might offer valuable insights for breeding water-saving cultivars and optimizing population structures for effective field water conservation.

RESUMO

Spatiotemporal patterns of plant water uptake, loss, and storage exert a first-order control on photosynthesis and evapotranspiration. Many studies of plant responses to water stress have focused on differences between species because of their different stomatal closure, xylem conductance, and root traits. However, several other ecohydrological factors are also relevant, including soil hydraulics, topographically driven redistribution of water, plant adaptation to local climatic variations, and changes in vegetation density. Here, we seek to understand the relative importance of the dominant species for regional-scale variations in woody plant responses to water stress. We map plant water sensitivity (PWS) based on the response of remotely sensed live fuel moisture content to variations in hydrometeorology using an auto-regressive model. Live fuel moisture content dynamics are informative of PWS because they directly reflect vegetation water content and therefore patterns of plant water uptake and evapotranspiration. The PWS is studied using 21,455 wooded locations containing U.S. Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis plots across the western United States, where species cover is known and where a single species is locally dominant. Using a species-specific mean PWS value explains 23% of observed PWS variability. By contrast, a random forest driven by mean vegetation density, mean climate, soil properties, and topographic descriptors explains 43% of observed PWS variability. Thus, the dominant species explains only 53% (23% compared to 43%) of explainable variations in PWS. Mean climate and mean NDVI also exert significant influence on PWS. Our results suggest that studies of differences between species should explicitly consider the environments (climate, soil, topography) in which observations for each species are made, and whether those environments are representative of the entire species range.

RESUMO

Background: Reference evapotranspiration (ETo), which is used as the basic data in many studies within the scope of hydrology, meteorology, irrigation and soil sciences, can be estimated by using the evaporation (Epan) measured from the class-A pan evaporimeter. However, this method requires reliable pan coefficients (Kp). Many empirical models are used to estimate Kp coefficients. The reliability of these models varies depending on climatic and environmental conditions. Therefore, they need to be tested in the local conditions where they will be used. In this study, conducted in Kahramanmaras, which has a semi-arid Mediterranean climate in Turkey during the July-October periods of 2020 and 2021, aimed to determine the usability levels of six Kp models in estimating daily and monthly average ETo. Methods: The Kp coefficients estimated by the models were multiplied with the daily Epan values, and the daily average ETo values were estimated on the basis of the model. The daily Epan values were measured using an ultrasonic sensor sensitive to the water surface placed on the class-A pan evaporimeter. The ultrasonic sensor was managed by a programmable logic controller (PLC). To enable the sensor to be managed by PLC, a software was prepared using the CODESYS programming language and uploaded to the PLC. The daily average ETo values determined by the FAO-56 Penman-Monteith equation were accepted as actual values. The ETo values estimated by the Kp models were compared with the actual ETo values using the mean absolute error (MAE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), root mean square error (RMSE) and determination coefficient (R2) statistical approaches. Results: The Wahed & Snyder outperformed the other models in estimating daily (MAE = 0.78 mm day-1, MAPE = 14.40%, RMSE = 0.97 mm day-1, R2 = 0.82) and monthly (MAE = 0.32 mm day-1, MAPE = 5.88%, RMSE = 0.32 mm day-1, R2 = 0.99) average ETo. FAO-56 showed the nearest performance to Wahed & Snyder. The Snyder model presented the worst performance in estimating daily (MAE = 2.09 mm day-1, MAPE = 37.53%, RMSE = 2.36 mm day-1, R2 = 0.82) and monthly (MAE = 1.83 mm day-1, MAPE = 31.82%, RMSE = 1.87 mm day-1, R2 = 0.99) average ETo. It has been concluded that none of the six Kp models can be used to estimate the daily ETo in Kahramanmaras located in the Mediterranean-Southeastern Anatolian transitional zone, and only Wahed & Snyder and FAO-56 can be used to estimate the monthly ETo without calibration.

RESUMO

We tested an approach to estimate daily canopy net photosynthesis, A, based on estimates of transpiration, E, using measurements of sap flow and water-use efficiency, ω, by measuring δ13C in CO2 respired from shoots in the canopies of two conifers (Podocarpaceae) native to New Zealand. The trees were planted in adjacent 20-year-old stands with the same soil and environmental conditions. Leaf area index was lower for Dacrycarpus dacrydioides D.Don in Lamb (1.34 m2 m-2) than for Podocarpus totara G.Benn. ex D.Don var. totara (2.01 m2 m-2), but mean (± standard error) stem diameters were the same at 152 ± 21 mm for D. dacrydioides and 154 ± 25 mm for P. totara. Over a 28-day period, daily A (per unit ground area) ranged almost five-fold but there were no significant differences between species (mean 2.73 ± 1.02 gC m-2 day-1). This was attributable to higher daily values of E (2.63 ± 0.83 mm day-1) and lower ω (1.35 ± 0.53 gC kg H2O-1) for D. dacrydioides compared with lower E (1.82 ± 0.72 mm day-1) and higher ω (1.90 ± 0.77 gC kg H2O-1) for P. totara. We attributed this to higher nitrogen availability and nitrogen concentration per unit foliage area, Na, and greater exposure to irradiance in the D. dacrydioides canopy compared with P. totara. Our findings support earlier observations that D. dacrydioides is more adapted to sites with poor drainage. In contrast, the high retention of leaf area and maintaining low rates of transpiration by P. totara, resulting in higher water-use efficiency, is an adaptive response to survival in dry conditions. Our findings show that physiological adjustments for two species adapted to different environments led to similar canopy photosynthesis rates when the trees were grown in the same conditions. We demonstrated consistency between whole-tree and more intensive shoot-scale measurements, confirming that integrated approaches are appropriate for comparative estimates of carbon uptake in stands with different species.

RESUMO

Transpiration efficiency (TE), the biomass produced per unit of water transpired, is a key trait for crop performance under limited water. As water becomes scarce, increasing TE would contribute to increase crop drought tolerance. This study is a first step to explore pearl millet genotypic variability for TE on a large and representative diversity panel. We analyzed TE on 537 pearl millet genotypes, including inbred lines, test-cross hybrids, and hybrids bred for different agroecological zones. Three lysimeter trials were conducted in 2012, 2013 and 2015, to assess TE both under well-watered and terminal-water stress conditions. We recorded grain yield to assess its relationship with TE. Up to two-fold variation for TE was observed over the accessions used. Mean TE varied between inbred and testcross hybrids, across years and was slightly higher under water stress. TE also differed among hybrids developed for three agroecological zones, being higher in hybrids bred for the wetter zone, underlining the importance of selecting germplasm according to the target area. Environmental conditions triggered large Genotype x Environment (GxE) interactions, although TE showed some high heritability. Transpiration efficiency was the second contributor to grain yield after harvest index, highlighting the importance of integrating it into pearl millet breeding programs. Future research on TE in pearl millet should focus (i) on investigating the causes of its plasticity i.e. the GxE interaction (ii) on studying its genetic basis and its association with other important physiological traits.

RESUMO

MAIN CONCLUSION: Stomatal traits in rice genotypes affect water use efficiency. Low-frequency small-size stomata correlate with whole plant efficiency, while low-frequency large-size stomata show intrinsic efficiency and responsiveness to vapour pressure deficit. Leaf surface and the patterning of the epidermal layer play a vital role in determining plant growth. While the surface helps in determining radiation interception, epidermal pattern of stomatal factors strongly regulate gas exchange and water use efficiency (WUE). This study focuses on identifying distinct stomatal traits among rice genotypes to comprehend their influence on WUE. Stomatal frequency ranged from 353 to 687 per mm2 and the size varied between 128.31 and 339.01 µm2 among 150 rice germplasm with significant variability in abaxial and adaxial surfaces. The cumulative water transpired and WUE determined at the outdoor phenomics platform, over the entire crop growth period as well as during specific hours of a 24 h-day did not correlate with stomatal frequency nor size. However, genotypes with low-frequency and large-size stomata recorded higher intrinsic water use efficiency (67.04 µmol CO2 mol-1 H2O) and showed a quicker response to varying vapour pressure deficit that diurnally ranged between 0.03 and 2.17 kPa. The study demonstrated the role of stomatal factors in determining physiological subcomponents of WUE both at single leaf and whole plant levels. Differential expression patterns of stomatal regulatory genes among the contrasting groups explained variations in the epidermal patterning. Increased expression of ERECTA, TMM and YODA genes appear to contribute to decreased stomatal frequency in low stomatal frequency genotypes. These findings underscore the significance of stomatal traits in breeding programs and strongly support the importance of these genes that govern variability in stomatal architecture in future crop improvement programs.

RESUMO

Changes to forests due to deforestation, or their replacement by agricultural areas, alter evapotranspiration and the partitioning of available energy. This study investigated seasonal variations in the energy balance and evapotranspiration in landscapes under different levels of anthropogenic intervention in the semi-arid region of Brazil. Micrometeorological data was obtained from September 2020 to October 2022 for three areas of the semi-arid region: preserved Caatinga (CAA, native vegetation), Caatinga under regeneration (REGE) and a deforested area (DEFA). Here, we use the Bowen ratio energy balance method. Measurements were taken of global solar radiation, air temperature, relative humidity, vapour pressure deficit, rainfall, net radiation, latent heat flux, sensible heat flux, soil heat flux, evapotranspiration, volumetric soil water content and Normalised Difference Vegetation Index. Sensible heat flux was the dominant flux in both areas with 66% for preserved Caatinga vegetation, 63% for Caatinga under regeneration and 62% deforested area. The latent heat flux was equivalent to 28% of the net radiation for preserved Caatinga vegetation, Caatinga under regeneration and deforested area. The evapotranspiration in turn responded as a function of water availability, being higher during the rainy seasons, with average values of 1.82 mm day-1 for preserved Caatinga vegetation, 2.26 mm day-1 for Caatinga under regeneration and 1.25 mm day-1 for deforested area. The Bowen ratio presented values > 1 in deforested area, preserved Caatinga vegetation and Caatinga under regeneration. Thus, it can be concluded that the change in land use alters the energy balance components, promoting reductions in available energy and latent and sensible heat fluxes during the rainy-dry transition in the deforested area. In addition, the seasonality of energy fluxes depends on water availability in the environment.

RESUMO

Drought is one of the vital meteorological disasters that influence crop growth. Timely and accurately estimating the drought dynamics of crops is valuable for decision-maker to formulate scientific management measures of agricultural drought risk. In this study, the evapotranspiration and drought dynamics of winter wheat from 1981 to 2020 in the Huang-Huai-Hai (HHH) region of China were evaluated based on long-term multi-source observation data. Four key developmental stages of winter wheat were given attentions: growth before winter stage, overwintering stage, stage of greening-heading, and stage of filling-maturity. The crop water deficit index (CWDI) on a daily scale was established for quantitatively appraising the impacts of drought on winter wheat. Our results indicated that interannual variation in reference crop evapotranspiration (ET0) during the growth season of winter wheat from 1981 to 2020 in the HHH region showed a slight increase trend, with an average of 602.4 mm and obvious spatial differences of decreasing from the Northeast to the Southwest. Over the past forty years, the winter wheat in the HHH region was most severely affected by severe drought, followed by moderate drought, and finally mild drought. In addition, the impacts of drought on winter wheat at different critical growth stages varied greatly. For the growth before winter stage, the winter wheat was mainly threatened by mild, moderate, and severe droughts. For the overwintering stage, the winter wheat was mainly threatened by moderate, severe, and extreme droughts. For the greening-heading stage, the winter wheat was mainly threatened by mild, moderate, severe, and extreme droughts. For the filling-maturity stage, the winter wheat was mainly threatened by mild and moderate droughts. Finally, the impacts of drought on winter wheat during 1981-2020 in the HHH region were revealed to differ extraordinarily in space. In particular, the areas of winter wheat affected by severe drought significantly decreased. However, the areas of winter wheat affected by moderate drought clearly expanded. Our findings provide new insights for further improving climate change impact studies and agricultural drought defense capabilities adapting to continuous environmental change.

RESUMO

MAIN CONCLUSION: We identified tomato leaf cuticle and root suberin monomers that play a role in the response to nitrogen deficiency and salinity stress and discuss their potential agronomic value for breeding. The plant cuticle plays a key role in plant-water relations, and cuticle's agronomic value in plant breeding programs is currently under investigation. In this study, the tomato cutin mutant cd1, with altered fruit cuticle, was physiologically characterized under two nitrogen treatments and three salinity levels. We evaluated leaf wax and cutin load and composition, root suberin, stomatal conductance, photosynthetic rate, partial factor productivity from applied N, flower and fruit number, fruit size and cuticular transpiration, and shoot and root biomass. Both nitrogen and salinity treatments altered leaf cuticle and root suberin composition, regardless of genotype (cd1 or M82). Compared with M82, the cd1 mutant showed lower shoot biomass and reduced partial factor productivity from applied N under all treatments. Under N depletion, cd1 showed altered leaf wax composition, but was comparable to the WT under sufficient N. Under salt treatment, cd1 showed an increase in leaf wax and cutin monomers. Root suberin content of cd1 was lower than M82 under control conditions but comparable under higher salinity levels. The tomato mutant cd1 had a higher fruit cuticular transpiration rate, and lower fruit surface area compared to M82. These results show that the cd1 mutation has complex effects on plant physiology, and growth and development beyond cutin deficiency, and offer new insights on the potential agronomic value of leaf cuticle and root suberin for tomato breeding.

RESUMO

Reference evapotranspiration (ET0 ) is a significant parameter for efficient irrigation scheduling and groundwater conservation. Different machine learning models have been designed for ET0 estimation for specific combinations of available meteorological parameters. However, no single model has been suggested so far that can handle diverse combinations of available meteorological parameters for the estimation of ET0. This article suggests a novel architecture of an improved hybrid quasi-fuzzy artificial neural network (ANN) model (EvatCrop) for this purpose. EvatCrop yielded superior results when compared with the other three popular models, decision trees, artificial neural networks, and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems, irrespective of study locations and the combinations of input parameters. For real-field case studies, it was applied in the groundwater-stressed area of the Terai agro-climatic region of North Bengal, India, and trained and tested with the daily meteorological data available from the National Centres for Environmental Prediction from 2000 to 2014. The precision of the model was compared with the standard Penman-Monteith model (FAO56PM). Empirical results depicted that the model performances remarkably varied under different data-limited situations. When the complete set of input parameters was available, EvatCrop resulted in the best values of coefficient of determination (R2 = 0.988), degree of agreement (d = 0.997), root mean square error (RMSE = 0.183), and root mean square relative error (RMSRE = 0.034).

RESUMO

Investigating differences in resistance to alkaline stress among three willow species can provide a theoretical basis for planting willow in saline soils. Therefore we tested three willow species (Salix matsudana, Salix gordejevii and Salix linearistipularis), already known for their high stress tolerance, to alkaline stress environment at different pH values under hydroponics. Root and leaf dry weight, root water content, leaf water content, chlorophyll content, photosynthesis and chlorophyll fluorescence of three willow cuttings were monitored six times over 15 days under alkaline stress. With the increase in alkaline stress, the water retention capacity of leaves of the three species of willow cuttings was as follows: S. matsudana > S. gordejevii > S. linearistipularis and the water retention capacity of the root system was as follows: S. gordejevii > S. linearistipularis > S. matsudana. The chlorophyll content was significantly reduced, damage symptoms were apparent. The net photosynthetic rate (Pn), rate of transpiration (E), and stomatal conductance (Gs) of the leaves showed a general trend of decreasing, and the intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci) of S. matsudana and S. gordejevii first declined and then tended to level off, while the intercellular CO2 concentration of S. linearistipularis first declined and then increased. The quantum yield and energy allocation ratio of the leaf photosystem II (PSII) reaction centre changed significantly (φPo, Ψo and φEo were obviously suppressed and φDo was promoted). The photosystem II (PSII) reaction centre quantum performance index and driving force showed a clear downwards trend. Based on the results it can be concluded that alkaline stress tolerance of three willow was as follows: S. matsudana > S. gordejevii > S. linearistipularis. However, since the experiment was done on young seedlings, further study at saplings stage is required to revalidate the results.

RESUMO

Global warming will change the photosynthesis and transpiration of plants greatly and ultimately affect water use efficiency (WUE). Here, we present a protocol to investigate the response of maize WUE to the coupling effect of CO2 and temperature at ear stage using a specialized designed gradient.

RESUMO

Water use efficiency (WUE) is a key indicator for predicting the impacts of climate change on ecosystem carbon and water cycles. Most studies have explored the changes in the response environment of WUE at a particular scale. Few studies have examined how WUE responds to environments at multiple scales, thus limiting our in-depth understanding of the cross-scale carbon and water cycles. In this study, we measured photosynthesis and transpiration in situ periodically and continuously from June to October 2022 in a community dominated by Artemisia ordosica in Mu Us Sandy Land, and analyzed the seasonal variations in WUE at leaf, canopy, and ecosystem scales. The results showed there were significant seasonal variations in leaf water use efficiency (WUEL), canopy water use efficiency (WUET), and ecosystem water use efficiency (WUEE). WUEL was large in June and small in both August and September, ranging from 0.73-2.98 µmol·mmol-1. Both WUET and WUEE were lowest in June and highest in July and August, ranging from 0.10-7.00 and 0.06-6.25 µmol·mmol-1. WUEL was significantly negatively correlated with stomatal conductance. WUET was significantly positively correlated with canopy conduc-tance and soil water content, and negatively correlated with vapor pressure deficit (VPD). There was a significant positive correlation between WUEE and soil water content (SWC10) in 10 cm soil depth. The structural equation model showed that SWC10 and air temperature affected net photosynthetic rate and transpiration rate by modifying stomatal conductance, and thus affecting WUEL. VPD and SWC10 affected WUET by altering transpiration. SWC10, air temperature, and VPD affected WUEE by regulating ecosystem gross primary productivity. The modelling of carbon and water cycles should thoroughly consider the path and intensity of the effect of environmental factors on WUE at multiple scales.

RESUMO

Transpiration is a significant part of water cycle in forest ecosystems, influenced by meteorological factors and potentially constrained by soil moisture. We used Granier-type thermal dissipation probes to monitor xylem sap flow dynamics of three tree species (Quercus liaotungensis, Platycladus orientalis, and Robinia pseudoacacia) in a semi-arid loess hilly region, and to continuously monitor the key meteorological factors and soil water content (SWC). We established the SWC thresholds delineating soil moisture-limited and -unlimited sap flow responses to transpiration drivers. The results showed that mean sap flux density (Js) of Q. liaotungensis and R. pseudoacacia was significantly higher during period with higher soil moisture compared to lower soil moisture, while the difference in Js for P. orientalis between the two periods was not significant. We used an exponential saturation function to fit the relationship between the Js of each tree species and the integrated transpiration variable (VT) which reflected solar radiation and vapor pressure deficit. The difference in the fitting curve parameters indicated that there were distinct response patterns between Js and VT under different soil moisture conditions. There was a threshold in soil moisture limitation on sap flow for each species, which was identified as 0.129 m3·m-3 for Q. liaotungensis, 0.116 m3·m-3 for P. orientalis, and 0.108 m3·m-3 for R. pseudoacacia. Below the thresholds, Js was limited by soil moisture. Above these points, the normalized sensitivity index (NSI) for Q. liaotungensis and P. orientalis reached saturation, while that of R. pseudoacacia did not reach saturation but exhibited a significant reduction in moisture limitation. Among the three species, P. orientalis was the most capable of overcoming soil moisture constraints.

RESUMO

Numerous studies shown that silicon (Si) enhanced plants' resistance to cadmium (Cd). Most studies primarily focused on investigating the impact of Si on Cd accumulation. However, there is a lack of how Si enhanced Cd resistance through regulation of water balance. The study demonstrated that Si had a greater impact on increasing fresh weight compared to dry weight under Cd stress. This effect was mainly attributed to Si enhanced plant relative water content (RWC). Plant water content depends on the dynamic balance of water loss and water uptake. Our findings revealed that Si increased transpiration rate and stomatal conductance, leading to higher water loss. This, in turn, negatively impacted water content. The increased water content caused by Si could ascribe to improve root water uptake. The Si treatment significantly increased root hydraulic conductance (Lpr) by 131 % under Cd stress. This enhancement was attributed to Si upregulation genes expression of NtPIP1;1, NtPIP1;2, NtPIP1;3, and NtPIP2;1. Through meticulously designed scientific experiments, this study showed that Si enhanced AQP activity, leading to increased water content that diluted Cd concentration and ultimately improved plant Cd resistance. These findings offered fresh insights into the role of Si in bolstering plant resistance to Cd.

RESUMO

A short period of exposure to elevated CO2 is known to decrease evapotranspiration via stomatal closure. Based on theoretical evaluation of a canopy transpiration model, we hypothesized that this decrease in the evapotranspiration of rice under elevated CO2 was greater under higher temperature conditions due to an increased sensitivity of transpiration to changes in CO2 induced by the greater vapour pressure deficit. In a temperature gradient chamber-based experiment, a 200 ppm increase in CO2 concentration led to 0.4 mm (-7%) and 1.5 mm (-15%) decreases in 12 h evapotranspiration under ambient temperature and high temperature (+3.7°C) conditions, respectively. Model simulations revealed that the greater vapour pressure deficit under higher temperature conditions explained the variations in the reduction of evapotranspiration observed under elevated CO2 levels between the temperature treatments. Our study suggests the utility of a simple modelling framework for mechanistic understanding of evapotranspiration and crop energy balance system under changing environmental conditions.

RESUMO

Drought threatens plant growth and related ecosystem services. The emergence of plant drought stress under edaphic drought is well studied, whilst the importance of atmospheric drought only recently gained momentum. Yet, little is known about the interaction and relative contribution of edaphic and atmospheric drought on the emergence of plant drought stress. We conducted a gradient experiment, fully crossing gravimetric water content (GWC: maximum water holding capacity-permanent wilting point) and vapour pressure deficit (VPD: 1-2.25 kPa) using five wheat varieties from three species (Triticum monococcum, T. durum & T. aestivum). We quantified the occurrence of plant drought stress on molecular (abscisic acid), cellular (stomatal conductance), organ (leaf water potential) and stand level (evapotranspiration). Plant drought stress increased with decreasing GWC across all organizational levels. This effect was magnified nonlinearly by VPD after passing a critical threshold of soil water availability. At around 20%GWC (soil matric potential 0.012 MPa), plants lost their ability to regulate leaf water potential via stomata regulation, followed by the emergence of hydraulic dysfunction. The emergence of plant drought stress is characterized by changing relative contributions of soil versus atmosphere and their non-linear interaction. This highly non-linear response is likely to abruptly alter plant-related ecosystem services in a drying world.
