Resistance of European tree species to drought stress in mixed versus pure forests: evidence of stress release by inter‐specific facilitation
Tập 15 Số 3 - Trang 483-495 - 2013
AbstractWhile previous studies focused on tree growth in pure stands, we reveal
that tree resistance and resilience to drought stress can be modified distinctly
through species mixing. Our study is based on tree ring measurement on cores
from increment boring of 559 trees of Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst.),
European beech (Fagus sylvatica [L.]) and sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.)

Genetic Diversity and the Survival of Populations
Tập 2 Số 4 - Trang 379-395 - 2000
Abstract:In this comprehensive review, a range of factors is considered that may
influence the significance of genetic diversity for the survival of a
population. Genetic variation is essential for the adaptability of a population
in which quantitatively inherited, fitness‐related traits are crucial.
Therefore, the relationship between genetic diversity and fitness should be
studied in order to ma...
Emerging concept for the role of photorespiration as an important part of abiotic stress response
Tập 15 Số 4 - Trang 713-722 - 2013
AbstractWhen plants are exposed to stress, generation of reactive oxygen species
(ROS) is often one of the first responses. In order to survive, cells attempt to
down‐regulate the production of ROS, while at the same time scavenging ROS.
Photorespiration is now appreciated as an important part of stress responses in
green tissues for preventing ROS accumulation. Photorespiratory reactions can
diss...
Environmental and Evolutionary Preconditionsfor the Origin and Diversification of the C4 PhotosyntheticSyndrome
Tập 3 Số 3 - Trang 202-213 - 2001
Abstract: C4 photosynthesis is an evolutionary solution to high rates of
photorespiration and low kinetic efficiency of Rubisco in CO2‐depleted
atmospheres of recent geologic time. About 7500 plant species are C4, in
contrast to 30 000 CAM and 250 000 C3 species. All C4 plants occur in
approximately 90 genera from 18 angiosperm families. In all of these families,
the C4 pathway evolved independent...
Effect of Ammonium and Nitrate Nutrition On Some Physiological Processes in Higher Plants ‐ Growth, Photosynthesis, Photorespiration, and Water Relations
Tập 9 Số 1 - Trang 21-29 - 2007
Abstract: Ammonium and nitrate as different forms of nitrogen nutrients impact
differently on some physiological and biochemical processes in higher plants.
Compared to nitrate, ammonium results in small root and small leaf area, which
may contribute to a low carbon gain, and an inhibition on growth. On the other
hand, due to (photo)energy saving, a higher CO2 assimilation rate per leaf area
was o...
Plant metallothioneins – metal chelators with ROS scavenging activity?
Tập 13 Số 2 - Trang 225-232 - 2011
AbstractMetallothioneins (MTs) are ubiquitous cysteine‐rich proteins present in
plants, animals, fungi and cyanobacteria. In plants, MTs are suggested to be
involved in metal tolerance or homeostasis, as they are able to bind metal ions
through the thiol groups of their cysteine residues. Recent reports show that
MTs are also involved in the scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The
interpl...
Effects of elevated CO2 on grain yield and quality of wheat: results from a 3‐year free‐air CO2 enrichment experiment
Tập 11 Số s1 - Trang 60-69 - 2009
AbstractSpring wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. TRISO) was grown for three
consecutive seasons in a free‐air carbon dioxide (CO2) enrichment (FACE) field
experiment in order to examine the effects on crop yield and grain quality. CO2
enrichment promoted aboveground biomass (+11.8%) and grain yield (+10.4%).
However, adverse effects were predominantly observed on wholegrain quality
characteristics. ...
Characterization of Cysteine‐Degrading and H2S‐Releasing Enzymes of Higher Plants ‐ From the Field to the Test Tube and Back
Tập 9 Số 5 - Trang 582-588 - 2007
Abstract: Due to the clean air acts and subsequent reduction of emission of
gaseous sulfur compounds sulfur deficiency became one of the major nutrient
disorders in Northern Europe. Typical sulfur deficiency symptoms can be
diagnosed. Especially plants of the Cruciferae family are more susceptible
against pathogen attack. Sulfur fertilization can in part recover or even
increase resistance against...
The role of abscisic acid and auxin in the response of poplar to abiotic stress
Tập 12 Số 2 - Trang 242-258 - 2010
AbstractThe plant hormones auxin and abscisic acid may at first sight appear to
be a conflicting pair of plant regulators. Abscisic acid content increases
during stress and protects plant water status. The content of free auxin in the
developing xylem of poplar declines during stress, while auxin conjugates
increase. This indicates that specific down‐regulation of a signal transduction
chain is im...
Temporal variation of competition and facilitation in mixed species forests inC entralE urope
Tập 16 Số 1 - Trang 166-176 - 2014
AbstractFacilitation, reduced competition or increased competition can arise in
mixed stands and become essential to the performance of these stands when
compared to pure stands. Facilitation and over‐yielding are widely held to
prevail on poor sites, whereas neutral interactions or competition, leading to
under‐yielding of mixedversuspure stands, can occur on fertile sites. While
previous studies...
