pubmed:abstractText |
Red osier dogwood (Cornus stolonifera Michx.) was artificially acclimated by exposing plants to 8-hour short days (SD) and low (15/5 C) temperatures for 54 to 63 days. Several factors including transpiration rate, stomatal resistance, and root conductivity were correlated so that the rate of water loss in acclimating plants was higher during the first 30 to 40 days of the acclimation sequence. Six days after transferring plants to SD conditions, the stomatal resistance (r(8)) decreased significantly below the r(8) of the 16-hour long day (LD) control plants at the same temperature. Transpiration rate increased by approximately 20 to 30% in the plants transferred to SD. After the initially higher transpiration rate and greater stomatal opening, the stomates closed tightly during the last 2 weeks of acclimation and the transpiration rate of the SD plants dropped to well below the LD control plants. By the end of the acclimation sequence, root conductivity to water uptake was two to three times lower in the SD plants. Leaf xylem water potentials were similar or slightly lower in the plants kept under SD conditions during the first 5 to 7 weeks of the acclimation sequence. During the last 10 to 15 days of acclimation when the stomates closed, SD leaf water potential rose significantly above the plants in the LD conditions. During acclimation, stem water content decreased by 40 to 50%. Changes in tissue hydration can be indirectly related to plant hardiness and may be affected by alteration of stomatal resistance, transpiration rate, and root conductivity during acclimation.
