Jerald Ainsworth Dean of the Graduate School CHESTNUT (CASTANEA spp.) CULTIVAR EVALUATION FOR COMMERCIAL CHESTNUT PRODUCTION IN HAMILTON COUNTY, TENNESSEE by Ana Maria Metaxas A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Environmental Science May 2013 ii ABSTRACT Chestnut cultivars were evaluated for their commercial applicability under the environmental conditions in Hamilton County, TN at 35°13ꞌ 45ꞌꞌ N 85° 00ꞌ 03.97ꞌꞌ W elevation 230 meters. In 2003 and 2004, 534 trees were planted, representing 64 different cultivars, varieties, and species. Twenty trees from each of 20 different cultivars were planted as five-tree plots in a randomized complete block design in four blocks of 100 trees each, amounting to 400 trees. The remaining 44 chestnut cultivars, varieties, and species served as a germplasm collection. These were planted in guard rows surrounding the four blocks in completely randomized, single-tree plots. In the analysis, we investigated our collection predominantly with the aim to: 1) discover the degree of acclimation of grower- recommended cultivars to southeastern Tennessee climatic conditions and 2) ascertain the cultivars’ ability to survive in the area with Cryphonectria parasitica and other chestnut diseases and pests present.

To investigate whether K+ and Na+ could simultaneously enhance drought resistance in A. Osmotic stress venetum, seedlings were exposed to osmotic stress (−0.2 MPa) in the presence or absence of additional 25 mM Sodium NaCl under low (0.01 mM) and normal (2.5 mM) K+ supplying conditions, respectively. The results showed that Osmotic adjustment A. venetum should be considered as a typical K+-efficient species since its growth was unimpaired and possessed Photosynthesis a strong K+ uptake and prominent K+ utilization efficiency under K+ deficiency condition. Leaf K+ con- centration remained stable or was even significantly increased under osmotic stress in the presence or absence of NaCl, compared with that under control condition, regardless of whether the K+ supply was sufficient or not, and the contribution of K+ to leaf osmotic potential consistently exceeded 37%, indicating K+ is the uppermost contributor to osmotic adjustment of A.

  • Punam Jaiswal PG-IV XEROPHYTES(Morphology).Pdf
    Environmental Biology Prof.(Dr.) Punam Jeswal Head M.Sc semester IV Botany Department XEROPHYTES A xerophyte (Gr. Xeros, dry; phyton, plant) is a plant which is able to survive in an environment with low availability of water or moisture, such as desert, ice or snow covered region. Xerophytes defined as "plants of dry habitats". Xerophytes are plants adopted in order to survive or grow in dry habitats (xeric condition) where the availability of water is very less. Daubenmire (1959) defined xerophytes as "plants which grow on substrate that usually become depleted of water to a depth of at least two decimeters during normal growth season". Xerophytes are plants of relatively dry habitats - dry in soil and most often also climatically. Xerophytes plants live in condition of water scarcity i.e. in xeric condition (habitat). Xeric habitats are of two types - 1) Physically dry habitat :- Water retaining capacity of the soil very low and climate is dry. Water cannot retained like desert or rock surface. 2) Physiologically dry :- Water is present in excess, but not in absorbable conditions or the plants cannot absorb it. e.g. high salt water, high acidic water and high cold water, water in snow form. Adaptation Strategies of Xerophytes :- Xerophytes adopt various features according to their climate, geography and requirements. Xerophytes plants aim at the following adaptation strategies :- 1) Absorb more water from the surrounding. 2) Retain water in their organs. 3) Reduce the water loss by transpiration to minimise. 4) Reduce utilisation of water ( Prevent high consumption of water) Types Of Xerophytes On the basis of morphology, physiology and life cycle patterns, xerophytes are classified into three categories :- 1) Ephemeral Annuals ( Drought Evaders or Drought Escapers) * They are also called as 'drought evaders' or 'drought escapers' common in arid zones.

  • Isotopic Approaches to Quantify Root Water Uptake and Redistribution
    Isotopic approaches to quantify root water uptake and redistribution: a review and comparison of methods Youri Rothfuss1, Mathieu Javaux1,2,3 1Institute of Bio- and Geosciences, IBG-3 Agrosphere, Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, Jülich, 52425, Germany 5 2Earth and Life Institute, Environnemental Sciences, Université catholique de Louvain (UCL), Louvain-la-Neuve, 1348, Belgium 3Department of Land, Air and Water Resources, University of California Davis, Davis, California, 95616, USA. Correspondence to: Youri Rothfuss ([email protected]) Abstract. Plant root water uptake (RWU) and release (i.e., hydraulic redistribution – HR, and its particular case hydraulic 10 lift – HL) have been documented for the past five decades from water stable isotopic analysis. By comparing the (hydrogen or oxygen) stable isotopic composition of plant xylem water to those of potential contributive water sources (e.g., water from different soil layers, groundwater, water from recent precipitation or from a nearby stream) studies could determine the relative contributions of these water sources to RWU. Other studies have confirmed the existence of HR and HL from the isotopic analysis of the plant xylem water following a labelling pulse. 15 In this paper, the different methods used for locating / quantifying relative contributions of water sources to RWU (i.e., graphical inference, statistical (e.g., Bayesian) multi-source linear mixing models) are reviewed with emphasis on their respective advantages and drawbacks. The graphical and statistical methods are tested against a physically based analytical RWU model during a series of virtual experiments differing in the depth of the groundwater table, the soil surface water status, and the plant transpiration rate value.
