Data from: Gas exchange and leaf anatomy of a C3-CAM hybrid, Yucca gloriosa (Asparagaceae)

While the majority of plants use the typical C3 carbon metabolic pathway, ~6% of angiosperms have adapted to carbon limitation as a result of water stress by employing a modified form of photosynthesis known as Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM). CAM plants concentrate carbon in the cells by temporally separating atmospheric carbon acquisition from fixation into carbohydrates. CAM has been studied for decades, but the evolutionary progression from C3 to CAM remains obscure. In order to better understand the morphological and physiological characteristics associated with CAM photosynthesis, phenotypic variation was assessed in Yucca aloifolia, a CAM species, Yucca filamentosa, a C3 species, and Yucca gloriosa, a hybrid species derived from these two yuccas exhibiting intermediate C3–CAM characteristics. Gas exchange, titratable leaf acidity, and leaf anatomical traits of all three species were assayed in a common garden under well-watered and drought-stressed conditions. Yucca gloriosa showed intermediate phenotypes for nearly all traits measured, including the ability to acquire carbon at night. Using the variation found among individuals of all three species, correlations between traits were assessed to better understand how leaf anatomy and CAM physiology are related. Yucca gloriosa may be constrained by a number of traits which prevent it from using CAM to as high a degree as Y. aloifolia. The intermediate nature of Y. gloriosa makes it a promising system in which to study the evolution of CAM.

Data from: High tolerance of tropical sapling growth and gas exchange to moderate warming

The effects of global warming on tropical forest growth and carbon storage are uncertain. While observations on canopy trees indicate negative correlations between temperature and growth, some seedling studies suggest the opposite. These contrasting results may reflect ontogenetic differences in temperature responses, or differences between the performance of potted plants under controlled conditions and plants under more variable conditions in the field. To try to bridge the gap between highly-controlled experiments on small seedlings and field observations on canopy trees we conducted two sets of outdoor experiments on saplings up to 2.5 m tall; one set to study the effects of night warming, and another set on the effects of day warming. To test the hypothesis that night warming would reduce growth in tropical saplings through stimulation of respiration, we grew the early-successional species Ochroma pyramidale in large 380-liter soil containers under ambient nighttime temperature and ambient +4.5°C. To test the hypothesis that day warming would reduce growth by reducing photosynthesis we compared plants in multi-species and single-species mesocosms rooted in the ground under ambient and passively warmed daytime conditions. In all experiments we monitored growth and measured foliar physiology and plant biomass allocation. Neither night warming nor day warming significantly affected biomass accumulation and allocation. Height growth increased with night warming in Ochroma pyramidale, but decreased with day warming in late-successional species. Night warming resulted in acclimation of dark respiration. Day warming resulted in acclimation of photosynthesis in early-successional species, but warming decreased photosynthesis in late-successional tree species. The seedling-to-sapling transition is a critical stage in the life of trees. We found no evidence that in this juvenile growth phase moderate increases in mean temperature reduce the performance of tropical trees, although increases in peak daytime temperature may negatively impact photosynthesis, especially in late-successional species.

Genetic variation in leaf traits and gas exchange response to vapor pressure deficit in two contrasting conifer species

1. Mechanistically predicting the evolutionary response of tree species to climate change requires an understanding of genetic variation in relevant traits. Here we compared the phenotypic and genetic variation in the Leaf Economics Spectrum (LES) traits and the response of gas exchange to vapor pressure deficit (VPD) in lodgepole pine (Pico) and white spruce (Pigl), an early and a late successional species dominating the boreal forests of western Canada. 2. We measured gas exchange, foliar nitrogen, and lamina mass to area ratio in 697 app. 30-year-old trees in two field progeny trials. We analyzed the response of gas exchange rates to VPD using a novel quantitative genetic model, the function-valued trait approach. 3. Pico showed greater phenotypic variation in the LES traits and greater genetic variation in photosynthetic rate than Pigl, but the species showed no significant difference in their phenotypic correlations between the LES traits. Pico showed a less sensitive stomatal response to VPD than Pigl and no significant genetic variation in stomatal sensitivity. In contrast, Pigl showed a positive correlation between the genetic values of stomatal sensitivity to VPD and stomatal conductance under low VPD. 4. Our study region is projected to see an increase in VPD with climate change; the less sensitive and genetically diverse stomatal response to VPD in Pico could make this species more vulnerable to climate change-induced droughts.

Madagascar Hissing Cockroach hemolymph PO2, PCO2, and gas exchange parameters

This data set contains in vivo measurements of hemolymph PO2 and PCO2 made on Madagascar hissing cockroaches (Gromphadorhina portentosa) using implanted micro fiber optic sensors (optodes). In addition, rate of CO2 release, ventilation frequency, and durations of the tri-phasic discontinuous gas exchange cycle associated with these measurements are also recorded. All measurements were performed while the cockroaches were breathing either normoxic and normocapnic air, hypoxic air (10 kPa PO2), or hypercapnic air (2 kPa PCO2) at 22 ºC.

Ventilatory parameters measured in Madagascar hissing cockroaches during continuous gas exchange and DGCs

This dataset is presented in the manuscript titled: 'Discontinuous gas exchange in Madagascar hissing cockroaches is not a consequence of hysteresis around a fixed PCO2 threshold'; published in JEB. The primary purpose of this investigation was to test if discontinuous gas exchange cycles (DGCs) were caused by PCO2 fluctuations around ventilatory setpoints. Madagascar hissing cockroaches were exposed to normoxic acapnia and treatments of either hypoxic acapnia, and normoxic hypercapnia, while displaying continious gas exchange, and DGCs. Hemolymph PO2 and PCO2 were measured in conjunction with ventilatory frequency and VCO2 released. This data displays the changes in ventilatory parameters observed during ambient gas manipulations.

Nitrogen fixation and gas exchange response to evaporative demand in soybean

Atmospheric vapor pressure deficit (VPD) is increasing in many regions and has a large impact on plant productivity. A VPD increase leads to raising transpiration rate (TR) and soil-water demand, risking productivity penalties. Like water, nitrogen is critical to productivity, but the effect of VPD on legume nitrogen fixation is undocumented. To address this, we developed a portable system for quantifying nitrogen fixation noninvasively and at a high temporal resolution by tracking the rate of hydrogen gas evolution by root nodules. Combining field and controlled-environment experiments where we measured leaf gas exchange and H2 production by nodules, we confirmed the ability of the system to track nitrogen-fixation dynamics. Raising VPD from 0.5 to 3 kPa within ~2.5 hrs under well-watered conditions increased nitrogen fixation by up to 25% in addition to TR, consistent with the hypothesis that raising VPD in that range might have alleviated nitrogenase feedback inhibition. Genotypic differences were found in this response, indicating a potential for breeding. Our study provides evidence for an important environmental effect on nitrogen fixation that is not taken into account in current crop and vegetation models, pointing to untapped avenues for better understanding climate change effects on legumes and nitrogen cycling.

For uniform and non-uniform gas injection, respectively, the images were stored in sequentially numbered folders. The numbers of the folders correspond to the numbers of the measurement points listed in the attached CSV files with the associated experimental parameters. The image folders are grouped in ZIP archives. Each ZIP archive contains the single-phase reference images which can be used for the two-phase images to conduct background subtraction, because the lighting conditions are equal for all images in one ZIP archive.  Data set II: Measurement values and processed image data:      - https://doi.org/10.14279/depositonce-17868;  This data set contains all measurement values and calculated results of all measurement points in the Excel and CSV files (e.g. pressure drop, volumetric flow rates, void fraction, measurement uncertainties). In addition, the results of the image processing algorithm are included in the Excel and CSV files (e.g. mean bubble diameter, maximum bubble diameter, local film flow ratio, extent of the two-phase distribution across the channel width, measurement uncertainties). The image folders contain the pre-processed images which were the input to the digital image analysis (i.e. the aligned and cropped image section of the channel without inlet, outlet, and peripheral regions and after subtraction of the image background), and the post-processed images visualizing the output of the digital image analysis for this image (i.e. detected objects are inserted as colored regions in the image section; the meaning of colors was explained in the publications of 2022 and 2023).  In this dataset, the image folders are also subdivided into measurements with uniform and non-uniform gas injection and designated with the numbers of the measurement points, which are listed in the Excel and CSV files.
