5 results for “osmotic adjustment”
Acclimation limits for embolism resistance and osmotic adjustment accompany the geographic dry edge of Mediterranean species
<p>Survival and growth of woody species in the Mediterranean are mainly restricted by water availability. We tested the hypothesis that Mediterranean species acclimate their xylem vulnerability and osmotic potential along a precipitation gradient.</p> <p>We studied five predominant co-occurring Mediterranean species; <em>Quercus calliprinos</em>, <em>Pistacia palaestina</em>, <em>Pistacia lentiscus</em>, <em>Rhamnus lycioides</em>, and <em>Phillyrea latifolia</em>, over two summers at three sites. The driest of the sites is the distribution edge for all the five species. We measured key hydraulic and osmotic traits related to drought resistance, including resistance to embolism (<span class="None">Ψ<sub>50)</sub></span> and the seasonal dynamics of water and osmotic potentials.</p> <p>The leaf water potentials (<span class="None">Ψ<sub>1</sub></span>) of all species declined significantly along the summer, reaching significantly lower <span class="None">Ψ<sub>l</sub></span> at the end of summer in the drier sites. Surprisingly, we did not find plasticity along the drought gradient in <span class="None">Ψ<sub>50</sub></span> or osmotic potentials. This resulted in much narrower hydraulic safety margins (HSM) in the drier sites, where some species experienced significant embolism.</p> <p>Our analysis indicates that reduction in HSM to null values put Mediterranean species in embolism risk as they approach their hydraulic limit near the geographic dry edge of their distribution.</p>

Data from: Changes in levels of enzymes and osmotic adjustment compounds in key species and their relevance to vegetation succession in abandoned croplands of a semiarid sandy region
<p>Reclamation of cropland from grassland is regarded as a main reason for grassland degradation; understanding succession from abandoned cropland to grassland is thus crucial for vegetation restoration in arid and semiarid areas. Soil becomes dry when cropland is reverted to grassland, and enzyme and osmotic adjustment compounds may help plants to adapt to a drying environment. Croplands that were abandoned in various years on the Ordos Plateau in China, were selected for the analysis of the dynamics of enzymes and osmotic adjustment compounds in plant species during vegetation succession. With increasing number of years since abandonment, levels of superoxide dismutase<span> increased</span><span> in </span><i><span><span>Stipa</span></span></i><i><span><span> bungeana</span></span></i><span>, first decreased </span><span>and then increased in </span><i><span><span>Lespedeza</span></span></i><i><span><span> davurica</span></span></i><span> and </span><i><span><span>Artemisia f</span></span></i><i><span><span>rigida</span></span></i><span>, and fluctuated in </span><i><span><span>Heteropappus altaicus</span></span></i><span>.
