20 WATER Plants' most important chemical most often limits productivity

21 WATER Constantly lose water due to PS SPAC= Soil Plant Air Continuum moves from soil->plant->air Due to its special properties

22 Water movement Diffusion: movement of single molecules down [] due to random motion until [ ] is even Bulk Flow: movement of groups of molecules down a pressure gradient Independent of ∆ [ ] ! How water moves through xylem How water moves through soil and apoplast

23 Water potential Water moves to lower its potential Depends on: [H2O]: Ys (osmotic potential) Pressure Yp Gravity Yg Yw = Ys +Yp + Yg

24 Water transport Path starts at root hairs Must take water from soil

25 Water transport Path starts at root hairs Must take water from soil Ease depends on availability & how tightly it is bound Binding depends on particle size & chem

26 Water transport Availability depends on amount in soil pores Saturation: completely full Field capacity: amount left after gravity has drained excess Permanent wilting point: amount where soil water potential is too negative for plants to take it up

27 Water movement in plants
Water enters via root hairs mainly through apoplast until hits Casparian strip : hydrophobic barrier in cell walls of endodermis

28 Water movement in plants
Water enters via root hairs mainly through apoplast until hits Casparian strip : hydrophobic barrier in cell walls of endodermis Must enter endodermal cell

29 Water Transport Water enters via root hairs mainly through apoplast until hits Casparian strip : hydrophobic barrier in cell walls of endodermis Must enter endodermal cell Why flooded plants wilt!

30 Water Transport Water enters via root hairs mainly through apoplast until hits Casparian strip : hydrophobic barrier in cell walls of endodermis Must enter endodermal cell Why flooded plants wilt! Controls solutes

31 Water Transport Must enter endodermal cell Controls solutes Passes water & nutrients to xylem

32 Water Transport Passes water & nutrients to xylem Ys of xylem makes root pressure

33 Water Transport Passes water & nutrients to xylem Ys of xylem makes root pressure Causes guttation: pumping water into shoot

34 Water Transport Passes water & nutrients to xylem Ys of xylem makes root pressure Causes guttation: pumping water into shoot Most water enters near root tips

35 Water Transport Most water enters near root tips Xylem is dead! Pipes for moving water from root to shoot

36 Water Transport Most water enters near root tips Xylem is dead! Pipes for moving water from root to shoot Most movement is bulk flow

37 Water Transport Xylem is dead! Pipes for moving water from root to shoot Most movement is bulk flow adhesion to cell wall helps

38 Water Transport Xylem is dead! Pipes for moving water from root to shoot Most movement is bulk flow adhesion to cell wall helps Especially if column is broken by cavitation (forms embolisms)

39 Water Transport Most movement is bulk flow adhesion to cell wall helps Especially if column broken by cavitation In leaf water passes to mesophyll

40 Water Transport Most movement is bulk flow adhesion to cell wall helps Especially if column broken by cavitation In leaf water passes to mesophyll, then to air via stomates

41 Water Transport In leaf water passes to mesophyll, then to air via stomates Driving force = vapor pressure deficit (VPD) air dryness

42 Water Transport In leaf water passes to mesophyll, then to air via stomates Driving force = vapor pressure deficit (VPD) air dryness ∆ H2O vapor pressure [H2O(g)] & saturated H2O vapor pressure

43 Water Transport In leaf water passes to mesophyll, then to air via stomates Driving force = vapor pressure deficit (VPD) air dryness ∆ H2O vapor pressure [H2O(g)] & saturated H2O vapor pressure saturated H2O vapor pressure varies with T, so RH depends on T

44 Water Transport In leaf water passes to mesophyll, then to air via stomates Driving force = vapor pressure deficit (VPD) air dryness ∆ H2O vapor pressure [H2O(g)] & saturated H2O vapor pressure saturated H2O vapor pressure varies with T, so RH depends on T VPD is independent of T: says how fast plants lose H2O at any T

45 Water Transport In leaf water passes to mesophyll, then to air via stomates Driving force = vapor pressure deficit (VPD) air dryness Rate depends on pathway resistances

46 Water Transport Rate depends on pathway resistances stomatal resistance

47 Water Transport Rate depends on pathway resistances stomatal resistance Controlled by opening/closing

48 Water Transport Rate depends on pathway resistances stomatal resistance boundary layer resistance Influenced by leaf shape & wind

49 Consequences of water stress
Reduced productivity

50 Consequences of water stress
Reduced productivity Photosynthesis Cell expansion Wall synthesis

51 Responses to Water Stress
roots make Abscisic Acid: transported to leaves and closes stomates

52 Responses to Water Stress
roots make Abscisic Acid: transported to leaves and closes stomates Slows photosynthesis and results in formation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS)

53 Responses to Water Stress
roots make Abscisic Acid: transported to leaves and closes stomates Slows photosynthesis and results in formation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) Plants adjust metabolism and turn on many genes

54 Long term responses Hydrotropism genes guide root growth towards water

55 Flooding Short term effect is decreased root respiration due to anoxia Inhibits transport from roots, flooded plants may wilt!

56 Flooding Short term effect is decreased root respiration due to anoxia Inhibits transport from roots, flooded plants may wilt! Longer term also makes them more susceptible to many diseases

57 Flooding Responses Turn on fermentation and alter metabolism Plants adapted to flooding may form aerenchyma

58 Flooding Responses Turn on fermentation and alter metabolism Plants adapted to flooding may form aerenchyma Plants adapted to submergence may grow to surface
