Water uptake by plant roots is important for plant physiology governing plant water use and productivity. As a common method for root water uptake, root hydraulic conductivity is widely used and defines the intrinsic ability of roots to conduct water across a water potential gradient between the...

Partial removal of leaves may alleviate drought stress under water-limited conditions in container-grown seedlings. We investigated the effects of removing 75% of a plant's lateral branches on shoot water potential and xylem water conduction in container-grown Chamaecyparis obtusa seedlings before...

The nursing condition of a containerized seedling results in a large shoot-root ratio, which could cause it severe water stress after planting. The present study aimed to clarify the relationship between the form of a seedling and the severity of water stress after planting, which was the basis of...

To investigate the effects of feeding damage caused by the folivorous insects Fagineura crenativora and Quadricalcarifera punctatella on the xylem of current-year shoots of Japanese beech, we clipped leaves from beech trees at different intensities and seasons. At clipping treatment in May...

Water transport in tall trees occurs over long-distances from roots to leaves, as well as against the gravitational hydrostatic gradient. The resulting water stress and physiological/morphological constraints of treetop leaves was considered the main cause of height-growth limitation. In tall...

Sexual polymorphism, a main strategy to maintain genetic diversity within a species, has long been a major focus in biology. Notwithstanding, in plants, evolution of sexual systems and mechanisms underlying these transitions have been little unveiled. We have elucidated the molecular mechanism of...
