Modeling Xylem Functionality Aspects
Depending on the questions to be answered, water flow in the xylem can be modelled following different approaches with varying spatial and temporal...

Does abscisic acid and xylem sap pH regulate stomatal responses in papaya plants submitted to partial root-zone drying?
Papaya ( Carica papaya L.) is a fruit plant that requires high water availability, and therefore irrigation is required throughout its crop** cycle....

Monitoring Xylem Transport in Arabidopsis thaliana Seedlings Using Fluorescent Dyes
Fluorescent dyes are often used to observe transport mechanisms in plant vascular tissues. However, it has been technically challenging to apply...

Activation of the root xylem proton pump by hydraulic signals from leaves under suppressed transpiration
Long term field observations have revealed that the inhibition of transpiration by heavy rainfall promotes immediate positive shift in the trans-root...

Different decomposition metrics of root xylem and root tissues outside xylem: an 8-year-long root decomposition study in an alpine shrubland
Background and aimsBoth root xylem (R xy ) and tissues outside the xylem (R tox ) are involved in root decomposition, a critical process for greenhouse...

Soil contamination with potentially toxic elements and root herbivory: effects on root surface area and stem secondary xylem of young common beech (Fagus sylvatica L.)
The study was aimed to investigate the effects of soil contamination and root herbivory on root surface area and stem anatomical properties that...

Root growth, root senescence and root system architecture in maize under conservative strip tillage system
AimsRoot system architecture (RSA) is important for nutrient and water acquisition efficiency. The adaptation of root growth and RSA to soil...

D6 protein kinase in root xylem benefiting resistance to Fusarium reveals infection and defense mechanisms in tung trees
Fusarium oxysporum , a global soil-borne pathogen, causes severe disease in various cultivated plants. The mechanism underlying infection and...

Detecting and Quantifying Xylem Embolism by Synchrotron-Based X-Ray Micro-CT
The vulnerability to xylem embolism is a key trait underlying species-specific drought tolerance of plants, and hence is critical for screening...

Single-cell transcriptomics unveils xylem cell development and evolution
BackgroundXylem, the most abundant tissue on Earth, is responsible for lateral growth in plants. Typical xylem has a radial system composed of ray...

Xylem adjustment and growth response of early- and late-successional tree species to rapid warming
Climate changes have dramatically affected forest succession. However, how trees at different successional stages respond to climate warming is...

Regulation of Root Tissue Size and Adaptations to Hypoxia
Soil flooding restricts gas exchange between the air and the soil. Thus, the oxygen level gradually decreases in the soil through the respiration of...

Xylem structure and hydraulic characteristics of deep roots, shallow roots and branches of walnut under seasonal drought
BackgroundDespite the importance of root hydraulics, there is little research on the in situ dynamic responses of embolism formation and embolism...

Intraspecific variation in fine root morphology of European beech: a root order-based analysis of phenotypic root morphospace
Fine roots are multifunctional organs that may change function with ageing or root branching events from primarily absorptive to resource transport...

Analysis of genes related to xylem cell wall development based on transcriptomics in Populus alba ‘Berolinensis’ tension wood
Populus alba ‘Berolinensis’ is a fast-growing, high-yielding species with strong biotic and abiotic stress resistance, and widely planted for timber,...

Determination of De Novo Suberin-Lignin Ferulate Deposition in Xylem Tissue Upon Vascular Pathogen Attack
Plant vascular pathogens use different ways to reach the xylem vessels and cause devastating diseases in plants. Resistant and tolerant plants have...

LCM-based xylem-specific RNA extraction from Fusarium oxysporum infected Cicer arietinum roots
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp ciceris , the causal organism of chickpea vascular wilt disease reduces yield up to 90% annually. Xylem plays a prominent...

Regulation of root development in nitrogen-susceptible and nitrogen-tolerant sweet potato cultivars under different nitrogen and soil moisture conditions
BackgroundDue to unreasonable nitrogen (N) application and water supply, sweet potato vines tend to grow excessively. Early development of storage...
