SPERRY* The fronds of many ferns in the Polypodiaceae(Ogura, 1972) and Cyatheaceae (Weiler,cited in Lippmann, 1925) possess swollen vein endings associated with specializedadaxial epidermal cells. Their structureis similarin all ferns (Gardiner, 1883; Potonie, 1892; Poirault, 1893; Goebel, 1930; Guttenburg,1934), including Blechnum lehmannii Hieron. (Figs. 1-3). The depressed epidermis (Fig. 3) sug- gested the term "Wassergriibchen"for the vein endings to Europeananatomists of the nineteenthcentury (e.g., Potonie, 1892). Vein endings on developingfronds secrete water (Fig. 1) when conditions reduce or stop transpiration(Mettenius, 1856; Haberlandt,1894a; Goebel, 1926, 1930). In some species, the secretedwater containssalts in solution which form "chalkscales" after the waterhas evaporated (Mettenius,1856; Potonie, 1892; Lippmann,1925). Most sourcesreport that watersecretion is dependenton the metabolicactivity of the specialized epidermalcells adaxial to the vein ending (Fig. 3, e); it is thus regardedas an active, or glandular,process (Gardiner,1883; Haberlandt,1894a, 1914; Lepeshkin,1906; Stocking, 1956; Fahn, 1979). This conclusionis reflectedin variousreferences to the vein endings as waterglands, salt glands, or chalk glands. Thereis, however,very little evidenceto supportany conclusionson the mechanism of secretion. All work on the subject was performedin the last century,and the results obtained are questionabledue to the bias in experimentaldesign which preventedtesting of alternativehypotheses and to the possibility of artifactsin technique (see comments in Spanjer, 1898; Haberlandt,1898; Lepeshkin, 1923). Moreover,the results are contradictory,since they have been interpretedas support- ing eitheran active (Gardiner,1883; Haberlandt,1894a, 1914) or a passive(Spanjer, 1898) mechanismof secretion.Finally, all experimentswere performedon a single species, Polypodiumaureum L., and need not representthe situationin otherferns. Becausethe mechanismof secretionfrom vein terminationsis unknown,they will be referredto in this paperby the term"hydathode" which, as originallydefined by Haberlandt(1894b), did not presupposea mechanismof secretion.Haberlandt used his term to refer to structureson above-groundportions of the plant, particularly foliage leaves, which functionin watertransfer to and from the plant surface. Previous work on the mechanism of hydathodesecretion in ferns neglected importantaspects of the problem. Despite the fact that root pressurecould play a significantrole in the secretionprocess, the relationshipof root pressureto secretion in intactplants was not studied.In fact, thereis no well documentedaccount of root pressure in ferns. In addition, investigatorscould not analyze secretion from a structuralstandpoint because anatomical studies were confined to the mature, non-secretinghydathodes; the structureof the secretinghydathodes on developing leaves was unknown.In this study, the relationshipof root pressureto secretionas well as developmentalchanges in hydathodestructure were investigatedin B. * Harvard Forest, Petersham, MA 01366.

Observations suggest that one mechanism of secretion from fern hydathodes is the passive transmission of xylem sap from vein endings to the plant surface through the apoplast of the hydathode under a pressure gradient induced by root pressure. MATERIALSAND METHODS Plants growing in the cloud forests near Xalapa in the state of Veracruz, Mexico; provided material for both experimental and anatomical work. Individual plants consist of a single, erect rhizome with short internodes. Root pressure was measured with a bubble manometer attached to the cut stipe (Fig. 4A) and a thermometer. The manometer was made with surgical tubing (ca. J. S. SPERRY:OBSERVATIONS ONBLECHNUM HYDATHODES 67 ) 1.20- S E ?-~ o S 1.10- E C 1.001 BB 0.5 1.0 2.0 A B time(hrs.) FG. 4A.

Bubble length was assumed to be proportional to bubble volume. At the beginning of the experiment, bubble length at ambient pressure and air temperature was determined by releasing the clamp (Fig. 4A, C). After the clamp was closed, subsequent readings of bubble length and air temperature were made, and exudation pressure relative to ambient was calculated according to Gay-Lussac's law (Weast & Astle, 1981). Clamping itself did not affect bubble length. Care was taken when attaching the manometer so that a continuous column of liquid was present from stipe to bubble, and the attachment was gently secured with twist-ties to help guard against leakage. The relationship between root pressure and hydathode secretion was studied in three plants growing along a shaded stream in the cloud forest on a clear day. The entire above-ground portion of each individual plant was enclosed in a clear plastic bag and root pressure was monitored with a manometer attached to a single cut frond for each plant (Fig. 4A). Observations of xylem pressure and hydathode secretion were then made. Anatomical differences between the secreting and non-secreting hydathodes on these three plants and others were studied from hand sections and clearings from both fresh and material fixed in FAA. Clearings were made by treating the leaf with alcoholic sodium hydroxide followed by lactic acid. Observations were made on preparations left unstained or stained in toluidine blue. The distribution of lignin was determined from hand sections stained in phloroglucinol and concentrated HC1. Suberized and cutinized cell walls were identified using the I-KI/H2S04 test.

  • Theories of Ascent of Sap
    Theories of Ascent of Sap The following points highlight the top four theories of ascent of sap. The theories are: 1. Vital Force Theory 2. Root Pressure Theory 3. Theory of Capillarity 4. Cohesion Tension Theory. 1. Vital Force Theory: A common vital force theory about the ascent of sap was put forward by J.C. Bose (1923). It is called pulsation theory. The theory believes that the innermost cortical cells of the root absorb water from the outer side and pump the same into xylem channels. However, living cells do not seem to be involved in the ascent of sap as water continues to rise upward in the plant in which roots have been cut or the living cells of the stem are killed by poison and heat. 2. Root Pressure Theory: The theory was put forward by Priestley (1916). Root pressure is a positive pressure that develops in the xylem sap of the root of some plants. It is a manifestation of active water absorption. Root pressure is observed in certain seasons which favour optimum metabolic activity and reduce transpiration. It is maximum during rainy season in the tropical countries and during spring in temperate habitats. The amount of root pressure commonly met in plants is 1-2 bars or atmospheres. Higher values (e.g., 5-10 atm) are also observed occasionally. Root pressure is retarded or becomes absent under conditions of starvation, low temperature, drought and reduced availability of oxygen. There are three view points about the mechanism of root pressure development: (a) Osmotic: Tracheary elements of xylem accumulate salts and sugars.

E-mail [email protected] Received: 20 August 2012 Returned for revision: 24 September 2012 Accepted: 8 October 2012 Published electronically: 4 December 2012 † Background Upward water movement in plants via the xylem is generally attributed to the cohesion–tension theory, as a response to transpiration. Under certain environmental conditions, root pressure can also contribute Downloaded from to upward xylem water flow. Although the occurrence of root pressure is widely recognized, ambiguity exists about the exact mechanism behind root pressure, the main influencing factors and the consequences of root pres- sure. In horticultural crops, such as tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), root pressure is thought to cause cells to burst, and to have an important impact on the marketable yield. Despite the challenges of root pressure research, progress in this area is limited, probably because of difficulties with direct measurement of root pressure, prompt- ing the need for indirect and non-destructive measurement techniques. http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/ † Methods A new approach to allow non-destructive and non-invasive estimation of root pressure is presented, using continuous measurements of sap flow and stem diameter variation in tomato combined with a mechanistic flow and storage model, based on cohesion–tension principles.

  • The Theory of the Rise of Sap in Trees: Some Historical and Conceptual Remarks
    The theory of the rise of sap in trees: some historical and conceptual remarks Harvey R. Brown Faculty of Philosophy, University of Oxford Radcliffe Humanities, Radcliffe Observatory Quarter Woodstock Road, Oxford OX2 6GG, U.K. [email protected] Abstract The ability of trees to suck water from roots to leaves, sometimes to heights of over a hundred meters, is remarkable given the absence of any mechanical pump. This study deals with a number of issues, of both an historical and conceptual nature, in the orthodox \Cohesion-Tension" theory of the ascent of sap in trees. The theory relies chiefly on the excep- tional cohesive and adhesive properties of water, the structural properties of trees, and the role of evaporation (\transpiration") from leaves. But it is not the whole story. Plant scientists have been aware since the inception of the theory in the late 19th century that further processes are at work in order to prime the trees, the main such process { growth itself { being so obvious to them that it is often omitted from the story. Other factors depend largely on the type of tree, and are not always fully understood. For physicists, in particular, it may be helpful to see the fuller picture, which is what this study attempts to provide in non-technical terms.1 \There are therefore agents in Nature able to make the particles of bodies stick together by very strong attractions. And it is the business of experimental philosophy to find them out." Isaac Newton2 \To believe that columns of water should hang in the tracheals like solid bodies, and should, like them, transmit downwards the pull exerted on them at their upper ends by the transpiring leaves, is to some of us equivalent to believing in ropes of sand." Francis Darwin3 \Water is unique in its importance and its properties.

  • Transpiration, Root Pressure
    BIOLOGY TRANSPORT IN PLANTS Transpiration, Root Pressure Contents Ascent of Sap ............................................................................................................................................. 3 Transpiration ............................................................................................................................................... 7 Go to Top www.topperlearning.com 2 BIOLOGY TRANSPORT IN PLANTS Ascent of Sap The upward conduction of water in the form of a dilute solution of mineral ions from the roots through the stem to the aerial parts of plants is called the ascent of sap. Several theories were put forward to explain the mechanism of the ascent of sap. These theories were placed under the following categories: i. Vital force theories ii. Root pressure theory iii. Physical force theories Vital Force Theories According to vital force theories, living cells are responsible for the ascent of sap. Some vital force theories: i. Westermaier Theory ii. Godlewski’s Relay Pump Theory iii. Bose’s Pulsation Theory Westermaier Theory Westermaier suggested that the living component of the xylem, the xylem parenchyma, is responsible for the conduction of water, while the tracheids and vessels act as a reservoir of water. Godlewski’s Relay Pump Theory Godlewski’s relay pump theory is also known as the clambering theory. According to this theory, conduction of water takes place because of the activity of xylem parenchyma and medullary rays. When the osmotic pressure of these cells is high, water is absorbed from the surrounding vessels. This results in increased turgor pressure. An increase in turgor pressure pumps the water to the next level of xylem vessels in a staircase-like manner. Bose’s Pulsation Theory Sir J. C. Bose proposed that the pulsation movement which occurs in the cortical cells present just outside the endodermis is responsible for the ascent of sap.
