Mean Values

Predawn leaf water potential (psipd) and morning values of leaf gas exchange, as net photosynthesis (A), stomatal conductance (gs), transpiration (E), and morning leaf water potential (psimn) were determined seasonally in 22 woody cerrado species growing under natural conditions. Despite the lower mean values of psipd in the dry season (-0.35 ± 0.23 MPa) compared to the wet season (-0.08 ± 0.03 MPa), the lowest psipd in the dry season (-0.90 ± 0.00 MPa) still showed a good nocturnal leaf water status recovery for all species studied through out the year. Mean gs values dropped 78 % in the dry season, when the vapor pressure of the air was 80% greater than in the wet season. This reduction in gs led to an average reduction of 33% in both A and E, enabling the maintainance of water use efficiency (WUE) during the dry season. Network connectance analysis detected a change in the relationship between leaf gas exchange and psimn in the dry season, mainly between gs-E and E-WUE. A slight global connectance value increase (7.25 %) suggested there was no severe water stress during the dry season. Multivariate analysis showed no link between seasonal response and species deciduousness, suggesting similar behavior in remaining leaves for most of the studied species concerning leaf gas exchange and psimn under natural drought.

Leaf Water Status

Yellow lupin (Lupinus luteus) may have potential as a legume crop in waterlogging-prone areas of Western Australia. To elucidate the physiological response of yellow lupin and the widely grown narrow-leafed lupin (L. angustifolius) to transient waterlogging we conducted experiments in controlled environments. Narrow-leafed lupin and yellow lupin were grown in pots and waterlogged for 14 days from 28 to 42, or 56 to 70 days after sowing, each being followed by a 14-day recovery period. Root and shoot growth responses, leaf gas exchange, water relations, and N accumulation were assessed. During the period of waterlogging, net nitrogen accumulation ceased in both species at both ages. During recovery, yellow lupin accumulated more nitrogen than narrow-leafed lupin. Waterlogging reduced leaf gas exchange more with older plants than with younger plants, and more so with narrow-leafed lupin than yellow lupin. Some components of leaf gas exchange, particularly leaf conductance, were reduced by up to 80%. Waterlogging had no effect on leaf water potential of yellow lupin but reduced it in narrow-leafed lupin, from about –450 to –1100 kPa, especially during the recovery period. Yellow lupin was more adapted to transient waterlogging than narrow-leafed lupin because it maintained its leaf water status, it accumulated more nitrogen during recovery, and its photosynthetic activity recovered quickly afterremoval of waterlogging.

Classical Calculation

Three models combining water transport and stomatal control are compared with experimental data to test whether, and how, water flux models that take into account root signalling or more accurate calculations of root water status would differ from current models. Models under study involve stomatal control by either the leaf water status alone, or a root message alone, or an interaction between both mechanisms. They are combined with a model allowing accurate calculation of the root water status in the case when roots are not regularly disposed. The model involving leaf water status alone provides relatively realistic predictions of water relations, but only on a day-to-day timescale and for relatively constant environmental conditions. The model based on root messages alone also needs adjustments, as it does not allow control of leaf water status during a drying period. The model involving interaction provides simulations which are reasonably consistent with experimental data, and applies to a range of environmental conditions without the necessity of adjusting its parameters for each condition. Effects of rooting characteristics, such as those caused by soil compaction, on stomatal conductance and root messages can only be predicted if a direct calculation of root water potential is carried out, therefore avoiding the hypotheses which are implicit in Gardner’s classical calculation.

Cocos Nucifera L

Drought is the main climatic limitation to coconut palm (Cocos nucifera L.) production. To identify early screening parameters for drought resistance, physiological responses to water deficit were investigated for the first time using containerized young plants grown outside. Three varieties were studied: 'West Coast Tall' (drought avoiding), 'Malayan Yellow Dwarf' (drought susceptible), and their progeny, the hybrid 'PB 121' (drought resistant). Leaf water status (relative water content, leaf water potential) and leaf gas exchange parameters (stomatal conductance to water vapor, net photosynthetic rate, and leaf internal CO2 concentration) were measured throughout a drying cycle induced by withholding watering. On fully hydrated plants, the sensitivity of stomata to atmospheric water vapor deficit was also investigated. In the three varieties, stomatal conductance to water vapor declined before leaf water status parameters were affected. The existence of a root-to-shoot communication system was proposed. Net photosynthetic rate was highly dependent on stomatal aperture, but nonstomatal factors also participated in the reduction of CO2 fixation. Since gas exchange rates were equally sensitive to drought in the three varieties, they could not be used as screening parameters for drought resistance. Under severe drought stress, both relative water content and leaf water potential differed significantly among populations. 'West Coast Tall' maintained a higher leaf water status than 'Malayan Yellow Dwarf'. Remarkably, the water status parameters of 'PB 121' were intermediate between those of the two parents. Similar ranking was obtained in experiments with excised leaflets. The high reproductibility of the results suggests that leaf water status parameters might be useful as early selection criteria for drought resistance in coconut palm. Key words: Cocos nucifera L., gas exchange, leaf water status parameters, water deficit, water relations.
