The three-dimensional construction of leaves is coordinated with water use efficiency in conifers

Santiago Trueba et al.

Summary: The study identified leaf vein volume as a crucial factor influencing water use efficiency in coniferous plants. Needle-like leaves of Pinus exhibited lower mesophyll porosity, leading to increased ratios of stomatal pore number per mesophyll or intercellular airspace volume, which effectively predicted stomatal conductance and water use efficiency.

Pathogen-induced hydraulic decline limiting photosynthesis and starch storage in grapevines (Vitis sp.)

Ana Clara Fanton et al.

Summary: Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) is a bacterial pathogen that causes Pierce's Disease (PD) in grapevines and other diseases in important agricultural and ecological species. This study investigates the underlying mechanisms of Xf-induced mortality in grapevines and finds that susceptible genotypes show a coordinated decline in photosynthesis, starch storage, and stem hydraulics, while resistant genotypes do not show changes in starch and stem hydraulics. The results support the theory that hydraulic failure and carbon starvation are responsible for plant mortality resulting from PD.

Estimating Bulk Stomatal Conductance in Grapevine Canopies

Mark Gowdy et al.

Summary: Grapevines regulate transpiration by adjusting their water conductance mechanism in response to environmental changes. A simplified method based on the crop canopy energy flux model is introduced to determine bulk stomatal conductance. This method provides accurate estimation of grapevine conductance and is useful for estimating vine transpiration in water use models.

Grapevines under drought do not express esca leaf symptoms

Giovanni Bortolami et al.

Summary: In grapevine, drought completely inhibited the leaf symptom expression of vascular disease (esca). By quantifying whole-plant water relations and carbon balance, the study revealed distinct physiological responses to these two stresses, indicating different gas exchange and nonstructural carbohydrate dynamics.

Seasonal and long-term consequences of esca grapevine disease on stem xylem integrity

Giovanni Bortolami et al.

Summary: The study found that during esca, a grapevine disease, the stem hydraulic conductivity was affected, with severe symptoms showing a high occurrence of xylem occlusions and subsequent loss of stem hydraulic conductivity, while asymptomatic shoots did not show these effects. Tyloses only occurred when leaf symptoms appeared and resulted in significant loss of stem hydraulic conductivity.
