Responses to Drought and Flooding

10.8K
Water plays a significant role in the life cycle of plants. However, insufficient or excess of water can be detrimental and pose a serious threat to plants.

Adaptations that Reduce Water Loss

25.9K
Though evaporation from plant leaves drives transpiration, it also results in loss of water. Because water is critical for photosynthetic reactions and other cellular processes, evolutionary pressures on plants in different environments have driven the acquisition of adaptations that reduce water loss.

Responses to Heat and Cold Stress

13.7K
Every organism has an optimum temperature range within which healthy growth and physiological functioning can occur. At the ends of this range, there will be a minimum and maximum temperature that interrupt biological processes.

Responses to Salt Stress

13.2K
Salt stress—which can be triggered by high salt concentrations in a plant’s environment—can significantly affect plant growth and crop production by influencing photosynthesis and the absorption of water and nutrients.

Tonicity in Plants00:53

Tonicity in Plants

54.0K
Tonicity describes the capacity of a cell to lose or gain water. It depends on the quantity of solute that does not penetrate the membrane. Tonicity delimits the magnitude and direction of osmosis and results in three possible scenarios that alter the volume of a cell: hypertonicity, hypotonicity, and isotonicity. Due to differences in structure and physiology, tonicity of plant cells is different from that of animal cells in some scenarios.

Area of Science:

  • Plant signaling
  • Ecology
  • Plant physiology

Background:

  • Plants communicate with various organisms.
  • Previous research showed plants exchange drought cues with conspecifics (same species).
  • The capacity for interspecific (different species) drought cue exchange was unknown.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if plants can exchange drought cues with interspecific neighbors.
  • To determine if drought stress can be relayed between different plant species.

Main Methods:

  • Split-root system used with *Stenotaphrum secundatum* and *Cynodon dactylon*.
  • One plant's root system was subjected to drought, while its other root shared a pot with a neighbor.
  • Drought and relayed drought cues were monitored in intra- and interspecific combinations.

Main Results:

  • Drought cuing and relayed cuing occurred in all tested combinations (intra- and interspecific).
  • The strength of signaling varied based on plant identity and position.
  • Both species induced stomatal closure in intraspecific neighbors, but interspecific cuing varied by neighbor identity.

Conclusions:

  • Plants can exchange and relay drought stress cues with interspecific neighbors.
  • Interspecific stress cuing influences plant interactions and community resilience to abiotic stress.
  • Further research is needed on the mechanisms and ecological impact of plant stress signaling.
