An Annual Pattern of Native Embolism in Upper Branches of Four Tall Conifer Species

Creator:: McCulloh, Katherine A., Johnson, Daniel M., Meinzer, Frederick C., and Lachenbruch, Barbara
Abstract:: Premise of the study: The Pacific Northwest of North America experiences relatively mild winters and dry summers. For the tall coniferous trees that grow in this region, we predicted that loss in the hydraulic conductivity of uppermost branches would be avoided because of difficulty reversing accumulated emboli in xylem that...

Maximum height in a conifer is associated with conflicting requirements for xylem design

Creator:: Domec, Jean-Christophe, Lachenbruch, Barbara, Meinzer, Frederick C., Woodruff, David R., Warren, Jeffrey M., and McCulloh, Katherine A.
Abstract:: Despite renewed interest in the nature of limitations on maximum tree height, the mechanisms governing ultimate and species-specific height limits are not yet understood, but likely involve water transport dynamics. Tall trees experience increased risk of xylem embolism from air-seeding because tension in their water column increases with height due...

Xylem hydraulic safety margins in woody plants: coordination of stomatal control of xylem tension with hydraulic capacitance

Creator:: Meinzer, Frederick C., Johnson, Daniel M., Lachenbruch, Barbara, McCulloh, Katherine A., and Woodruff, David R.
Abstract:: 1. The xylem pressure inducing 50% loss of hydraulic conductivity due to embolism widely used for comparisons of xylem vulnerability among species and across aridity However, despite its utility as an index of resistance to catastrophic xylem failure drought, P5o may have no special physiological relevance in the context of...

Impacts of tree height on leaf hydraulic architecture and stomatal control in Douglas-fir

Creator:: Woodruff, David R., McCulloh, Katherine A., Warren, Jeffrey M., Meinzer, Frederick C., and Lachenbruch, Barbara
Abstract:: This study investigated the mechanisms involved in the regulation of stomatal closure in Douglas-fir and evaluated the potential impact of compensatory adjustments in response to increasing tree height upon these mechanisms. In the laboratory, we measured leaf hydraulic conductance (Kleaf) as leaf water potential (Yl) declined for comparison with in...

Douglas-fir hydraulic architecture and relationships among xylem properties at multiple scales via a Bayesian analysis

Creator:: Dunham, Sonya M.
Abstract:: This study investigated variation in xylem anatomy, hydraulic properties, and the relationship between anatomy and properties within Douglas-fir trees at multiple scales. The hierarchical scales in the study included fertilization treatments (fertilized and unfertilized), trees within the treatments, and positions within the trees. Tracheid diameter, tracheid length, percent latewood, number...

Tyloses and phenolic deposits in xylem vessels impede water transport in low-lignin transgenic poplars: a study by cryo-fluorescence microscopy

Creator:: Kitin, Peter, Voelker, Steven L., Meinzer, Frederick C., Beeckman, Hans, Strauss, Steven H., and Lachenbruch, Barbara
Abstract:: Of 14 transgenic poplar genotypes (Populus tremula × Populus alba) with antisense 4-coumarate:coenzyme A ligase that were grown in the field for 2 years, five that had substantial lignin reductions also had greatly reduced xylem-specific conductivity compared with that of control trees and those transgenic events with small reductions in...

Height-related trends in leaf xylem anatomy and shoot hydraulic characteristics in a tall conifer: safety versus efficiency in foliar water transport

Creator:: Woodruff, D. R., Meinzer, Frederick C., and Lachenbruch, Barbara
Abstract:: • Hydraulic vulnerability of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) branchlets decreases with height, allowing shoots at greater height to maintain hydraulic conductance (Kshoot) at more negative leaf water potentials (Ψl). • To determine the basis for this trend shoot hydraulic and tracheid anatomical properties of foliage from the tops of Douglas-fir trees...

Functional decreases in hydraulic and mechanical properties of field-grown transgenic poplar trees caused by modification of the lignin synthesis pathway through downregulation of the 4-coumarate:coenzyme A ligase gene

Creator:: Voelker, Steven L.
Abstract:: Society uses massive quantities of wood fiber in production of paper, and demand for fiber is projected to increase further as production of biofuels from fermentation of plant cellulosic materials increases. Because these end uses generally require the costly step of removing of lignin, wood with reduced or more easily...

Antisense down-regulation of 4CL expression alters lignification, tree growth and saccharification potential of field-grown poplar

Creator:: Voelker, Steven L., Lachenbruch, Barbara, Meinzer, Frederick C., Jourdes, Michael, Ki, Chanyoung, Patten, Ann M., Davin, Laurence B., Lewis, Norman G., Tuskan, Gerald A., Gunter, Lee, Decker, Stephen R., Selig, Michael J., Sykes, Robert, Himmel, Michael E., Kitin, Peter, Shevchenko, Olga, and Strauss, Steven H.
Abstract:: Transgenic down-regulation of the Pt4CL1 gene family encoding 4-coumarate:coenzyme A ligase (4CL) has been reported as a means for reducing lignin content in cell walls and increasing overall growth rates, thereby improving feedstock quality for paper and bioethanol production. Using hybrid poplar (Populus tremula 3 Populus alba), we applied this...

Bordered pit structure and function determine spatial patterns of air-seeding thresholds in xylem of Doulglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii; Pinaceae) trees

Creator:: Domec, Jean-Christophe, Lachenbruch, Barbara, and Meinzer, Frederick C.
Abstract:: The air‐seeding hypothesis predicts that xylem embolism resistance is linked directly to bordered pit functioning. We tested this prediction in trunks, roots, and branches at different vertical and radial locations in young and old trees of Pseudotsuga menziesii. Dimensions of bordered pits were measured from light and scanning electron micrographs,...
