  • Transpiration
    TRANSPIRATION BY: Dr. Madhu Gupta (Guest Faculty) SOS in Botany Jiwaji University Gwalior What is it? The loss of water in the vapour form from the exposed parts of a plant is called transpiration. The loss of water due to transpiration is quite high. Rather 98-99% of the water absorbed by a plant is lost in transpiration. Hardly 0.2% is used in photosynthesis while the remaining is retained in the plant during growth. Most of the transpiration occurs through foliar surface or surface of the leaves. It is known as foliar transpiration. Foliar transpiration accounts for over 90% of the total transpiration. Transpiration occurs through young or mature stem is called as Cauline transpiration. Depending upon the plant surface, transpiration is classified into three types: Stomatal • Water vapour diffuses out through minute pore (stomata) present in soft aerial part of plant is known Transpiration as Stomatal Transpiration • Sometimes water may evaporate through certain Lenticular other openings present on the older stems. These openings are called Lenticels and the transpiration Transpiration that takes place through term is known as Lenticular Transpiration. • Loss of water may also take place through cuticle, but Cuticular the amount so lost is relatively small • This type of transpiration depends upon the thickness Transpiration of the cuticle and presence or absence of wax coating on the surface of the leaves. Stomatal Transpiration Lenticular Transpiration Cuticular Transpiration Factors Affecting Transpiration: Water Stress: Whenever the rate of transpiration exceeds the rate of absorption, a water deficit is created in the plants and results in the incipient wilting of leaves.

  • 197 Section 9 Sunflower (Helianthus
    SECTION 9 SUNFLOWER (HELIANTHUS ANNUUS L.) 1. Taxonomy of the Genus Helianthus, Natural Habitat and Origins of the Cultivated Sunflower A. Taxonomy of the genus Helianthus The sunflower belongs to the genus Helianthus in the Composite family (Asterales order), which includes species with very diverse morphologies (herbs, shrubs, lianas, etc.). The genus Helianthus belongs to the Heliantheae tribe. This includes approximately 50 species originating in North and Central America. The basis for the botanical classification of the genus Helianthus was proposed by Heiser et al. (1969) and refined subsequently using new phenological, cladistic and biosystematic methods, (Robinson, 1979; Anashchenko, 1974, 1979; Schilling and Heiser, 1981) or molecular markers (Sossey-Alaoui et al., 1998). This approach splits Helianthus into four sections: Helianthus, Agrestes, Ciliares and Atrorubens. This classification is set out in Table 1.18. Section Helianthus This section comprises 12 species, including H. annuus, the cultivated sunflower. These species, which are diploid (2n = 34), are interfertile and annual in almost all cases. For the majority, the natural distribution is central and western North America. They are generally well adapted to dry or even arid areas and sandy soils. The widespread H. annuus L. species includes (Heiser et al., 1969) plants cultivated for seed or fodder referred to as H. annuus var. macrocarpus (D.C), or cultivated for ornament (H. annuus subsp. annuus), and uncultivated wild and weedy plants (H. annuus subsp. lenticularis, H. annuus subsp. Texanus, etc.). Leaves of these species are usually alternate, ovoid and with a long petiole. Flower heads, or capitula, consist of tubular and ligulate florets, which may be deep purple, red or yellow.

  • The Relationship Between Plant Growth and Water Consumption : a History from Greek Philosophers to Early 20Th Century Scientists
    The relationship between plant growth and water consumption : A history from Greek philosophers to early 20th century scientists. Oliver Brendel Université de Lorraine, AgroParisTech, INRA, UMR SILVA Nancy, France email : [email protected] Tel : 00 33 383394100 postal address: Oliver Brendel, INRAE, UMR Silva, F-54280 CHAMPENOUX, France Abstract The relationship between plant growth and water consumption has for a long time occupied the minds of philosophers and natural scientists. The ratio between biomass accumulation and water consumption is known as water use efficiency and is widely relevant today in fields as diverse as crop improvement, forest ecology and climate change. Defined at scales varying from single leaf physiology to whole plants, it shows how botanical investigations changed through time, generally in tandem with developing disciplines and improving methods. The history started as a purely philosophical question by Greek philosophers of how plants grow, progressed through thought and actual experiments, towards an interest in plant functioning and their relationship to the environment. This article retraces this history by elucidating the progression of scientific questions posed through the centuries, presents the main methodological and conceptual developments. Keywords Transpiration efficiency; water use efficiency; plant physiology; botany Introduction The ratio of biomass accumulation per unit water consumption is known today as water use efficiency (WUE) and is widely relevant to agriculture ( e.g. Vadez et al.2014; Tallec et al.; Blum 2009), to forest ecology (e.g. Linares and Camarero 2012; Lévesque et al. 2014), and in the context of global climate change (e.g., Cernusak et al. 2019). This ratio can be defined at various levels, from the physiological functioning of a leaf to the whole plant and at the ecosystem level.

  • Historical Review
    1 Historical Review INTRODUCTION This chapter presents a brief historical review of progress in the field of plant water relations because the authors feel that it is impossible to fully understand the present without some knowledge of the past. As the Danish philosopher Kierkegaarde wrote, "Life can only be understood backward, but it can only be lived forward," and this also is true of science. The present generation needs to be reminded that some generally accepted concepts have their origin in ideas of 17th or 18th century writers and although others were suggested many decades ago, they were neglected until recently. As might be expected, the importance of water to plant growth was recog- nized by prehistoric farmers because irrigation systems already existed in Egypt, Babylonia (modern Iraq), and China at the beginning of recorded history, and the first European explorers found extensive irrigation systems in both North and South America. However, irrigation was not used extensively in agriculture in the United States until after the middle of the 19th century and little research on plant water relations occurred until the 20th century. Early Research Although plant water relations appear to have been the first area of plant physiology to be studied, progress was slow from Aristotle who died in 322 B.C. to the middle of the 19th century. According to Aristotle, plants absorbed their food ready for use from the soil, and plant nutrition was controlled by a soul or vital principle that ailowed plants to absorb only those substances useful in 2 1. Historical Review growth. This idea only began to be questioned in the 17th century by Jung, van Helmont, Mariotte, and others, and it ~ersistedinto the 19th century.

  • Effect of Light Intensity and Leaf Temperature on Photosynthesis and Transpiration in Wheat and Sorghum
    -----------,-~ " --._-----_.,--------- EFFECT OF LIGHT INTENSITY AND LEAF TEMPERATURE ON PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND TRANSPIRATION IN WHEAT AND SORGHUM By R. W. DOWNES* [Manuscript received March 18, 1970] Summary Wheat stomata offered less resistance to water and carbon dioxide diffusion than sorghum stomata at light intensities of 0·06 and 0·26 cal cm-2 min-i (400-700 nm) but resistances were comparable at 0·46 cal cm-2 min-i. Conse­ quently, transpiration rates were higher in wheat than in sorghum, except at the high light levels, in leaf chamber experiments described here. Rates of photo­ synthesis were higher in sorghum than in wheat, with the greatest difference at high light levels. This resulted in a greater efficiency of dry matter production relative to water use in sorghum. Transpiration rate increased with increased temperature in both species. Photosynthesis was independent of temperature in wheat, and in sorghum under low light conditions, but otherwise photosynthesis increased with temperature in sorghum. In both species, efficiency of water use decreased as temperature increased at all light intensities. Water vapour concentration difference between the intercellular spaces and the air was comparable in wheat and sorghum and increased with temperature. The carbon dioxide concentration difference between air and intercellular spaces was substantially greater in sorghum than in wheat and increased with leaf temperature. Maximum values were obtained at the intermediate light level in sorghum. I. INTRODUCTION Wheat plants were shown in earlier experiments to transpire at about 2·25 times the rate of sorghum plants per unit leaf area, under a range of temperatures (17-32°C) and low light intensities (1100-2800 f.c.) (Downes 1969).

When the gas called carbon dioxide and release oxygen. stomata open, a little bit of the leaf's water Humans, on the other hand, inhale oxygen and "falls out," and is released as water vapor. This exhale carbon dioxide. These opposite cycles release is called transpiration, and it's a little allow humans and trees to naturally help each bit like humans sweating. Transpiration other. Just by breathing, you are providing trees releases water vapor, the gas form of water, with the carbon dioxide they need to survive. into the air. Transpiration Experiment Because trees release water vapor, which is an invisible gas, we can't directly see transpirationi n action. So how do we know that trees are transpiring? Remembert hat water can be a solid, a gas, or a liquid. Solid water is ice, gas water is water vapor, and liquid water is just regular water. We can see water and ice, but not gas. But is there any way we can turn the water vapor trees release into a visible liquid or solid? On the next page, you will see a procedure that tries to do just that! If we put a plastic bag over a branch of a tree, it should fill with the water vapor that the tree is releasing.

Proper formation of vascular tissue is critical for the transpiration stream, along with photosynthesis as a whole. While effects of individual environmental factors on the transpiration stream are well studied, interactive effects of multiple stress factors are underrepresented. As expected, climate change will result in plants experiencing multiple co-occurring environmental stress factors, which require further studies. Also, the effects of the main climate change components (carbon dioxide, temperature, and drought) on vascular cambium are not well understood. This review aims at synthesizing current knowledge regarding the effects of the main climate change components on the initiation and differentiation of vascular cambium, the transpiration stream, and photosynthesis. We predict that combined environmental factors will result in increased diameter and density of xylem vessels or tracheids in the absence of water stress. However, drought may decrease the density of xylem vessels or tracheids. All interactive combinations are expected to increase vascular cell wall thickness, and therefore increase carbon allocation to these tissues.
