Consistent scaling of whole-shoot respiration between Moso bamboo ( Phyllostachys pubescens ) and trees

Published in Journal of Plant Research

Both Moso bamboo ( Phyllostachys pubescens ) and tree forests have a large biomass; they are considered to play an important role in ecosystem carbon budgets. The scaling relationship between individual whole-shoot (i.e., aboveground parts) respiration and whole-shoot mass provides a clue for comparing the carbon budgets of Moso bamboo and tree for...

Cytogenetic events in the endosperm of amphiploid Avena magna × A. longiglumis

Published in Journal of Plant Research

This study analysed cytogenetic events occurring in the syncytial endosperm of the Avena magna H. C. Murphy & Terrell × Avena longiglumis Durieu amphiploid, which is a product of two wild species having different genomes. Selection through the elimination of chromosomes and their fragments, including those translocated, decreased the level of ploid...

Linking remote sensing parameters to CO 2 assimilation rates at a leaf scale

Published in Journal of Plant Research

Solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) and photochemical reflectance index (PRI) are expected to be useful for remote sensing of photosynthetic activity at various spatial scales. This review discusses how chlorophyll fluorescence and PRI are related to the CO2 assimilation rate at a leaf scale. Light energy absorbed by photosystem II chlorop...

Repatterning of the inflorescence meristem in Gerbera hybrida after wounding.

Published in Journal of plant research

The Asteraceae plant family is characterized by inflorescences, called flower heads or capitula that may combine hundreds of individual florets into a single flower-like structure. The florets are arranged in a regular phyllotactic pattern with Fibonacci numbers of left- and right-winding spirals. Such a pattern may be disrupted due to physical con...

Modeling indicates degradation of mRNA and protein as a potential regulation mechanisms during cold acclimation

Published in Journal of Plant Research

Plants are constantly exposed to temperature fluctuations, which have direct effects on all cellular reactions because temperature influences reaction likelihood and speed. Chloroplasts are crucial to temperature acclimation responses of plants, due to their photosynthetic reactions whose products play a central role in plant metabolism. Consequent...

Three-dimensional quantification of twisting in the Arabidopsis petiole

Published in Journal of Plant Research

Organisms have a variety of three-dimensional (3D) structures that change over time. These changes include twisting, which is 3D deformation that cannot happen in two dimensions. Twisting is linked to important adaptive functions of organs, such as adjusting the orientation of leaves and flowers in plants to align with environmental stimuli (e.g. l...

Verbena officinalis Verbenaceae (Lamiales): a new plant model system for phyllotaxis research

Published in Journal of Plant Research

Phyllotactic diversity and developmental transitions between phyllotactic patterns are not fully understood. The plants studied so far, such as Magnolia, Torreya or Abies , are not suitable for experimental work, and the most popular model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, does not show sufficient phyllotactic variability. It has been found that in comm...
