Defensive Traits in Young Pine Trees Cluster into Two Divergent Syndromes Related to Early Growth Rate.
The combination of defensive traits leads to the evolution of 'plant defense syndromes' which should provide better protection against herbivores than individual traits on their own. Defense syndromes can be generally driven by plant phylogeny and/or biotic and abiotic factors. However, we lack a solid understanding of (i) the relative importance of shared evolution vs. convergence due to simil...
متن کاملconcentration in young loblolly pine trees
We measured diel patterns of stem surface CO 2 efflux ( E s , m mol m 2 s 1 ), sap velocity ( v s , mm s 1 ) and xylem CO 2 concetration ([CO 2 ]) ( X s , %) in 8-year-old loblolly pine trees during the spring to determine how v s and X s influence E s . All trees showed a strong diel hysteresis between E s and stem temperature, where at a given temperature, E s was lower during the day than at...
متن کاملGenetic Evaluation of Growth Rate and Efficiency Related Traits in Raeini Cashmere Goat
Growth efficiency-related traits are of economic importance for genetically improving of small ruminants especially in tropics with pastures of low quality and quantity. Data on body weights of Raeini Cashmere goat collected from 1979 to 2012 in Raeini breeding station, Kerman province, south-eastern part of Iran were used for estimating the genetic parameters of average daily gain from birth t...
متن کاملHydraulic responses to height growth in maritime pine trees
As trees grow taller, decreased xylem path conductance imposes a major constraint on plant water and carbon balance, and is thus a key factor underlying forest productivity decline with age. The responses of stomatal conductance, leaf area: sapwood area ratio ( A L : A S ) and soil–leaf water potential gradient ( DY S–L ) to height growth were investigated in maritime pine trees. Extensive meas...
متن کاملRelationships between stem CO(2) efflux, substrate supply, and growth in young loblolly pine trees.
*We examined the relationships between stem CO(2) efflux (E(s)), diameter growth, and nonstructural carbohydrate concentration in loblolly pine trees. Carbohydrate supply was altered via stem girdling during rapid stem growth in the spring and after growth had ceased in the autumn. We hypothesized that substrate type and availability control the seasonal variation and temperature sensitivity of...
