Underground Plants
genus of plants (Lithrops, known as stone plants) found in Kalahari Desert of southern Africa has mostly subterreanean existence◦tips of 2 succulent leaves above ground◦clear, lens-like cells allow light cells
underground◦conserve moisture (~20 cm rain/yr), hide from
grazing tortoises, avoid high temperatures (up to 45ºC, 113 ºF,) & high light intensity
◦overall reduces water loss but inhibits photosynthesis, grow very slowly

Early Land Plants
nonvascular◦earliest land plants◦grew photosynthetic, leafless shoots above the shallow water in which they lived
◦most had waxy cuticles & few stomata
![Page 5: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Early Land Plants
anchoring & absorbing functions done by base of stem or threadlike rhizoids
![Page 6: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Adaptations of Vascular Plants
typical land plant inhabits 2 worlds:◦under ground◦above ground
![Page 7: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Evolution of Plants
as competition for light, water, & nutrients grew:◦plants with broader leaves had advantage for light but then lost more water by evaporation as surface area increased
◦larger shoots required more of an anchor which favored production of multicellular, branching roots
◦as shoots grew higher, needed long-distance transport of water, minerals, products of photosynthesis
![Page 8: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Xylem & Phloem
evolution of vascular tissue meant;◦Xylem: tubular dead cells that conduct most of the water & minerals upward from roots rest of plant
◦Phloem: vascular plant tissue consisting of living cells arranged into elongated tubes that transport sugar & other organic material thru out plant
![Page 9: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
transpiration creates a force thru leaves that pulls xylem sap upward
water & minerals up as xylem sap
phloem sap flows up & down delivering sugars
water & minerals in soil absorbed by roots
![Page 10: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Xylem & Phloem
![Page 11: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
LEAVES
function:◦gather light◦take in CO2
![Page 12: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
LEAVES
arrangement of leaves on a stem called: phyllotaxy
![Page 13: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
LEAVES
most angiosperms (flowering plants) have alternate phyllotaxy◦each successive leaf emerges 137.5º from site of previous leaf
◦this angle minimizes shading of lower leaves by upper leaves
◦plants in intense sun: opposite phylloxy which increase shading & so water loss
![Page 14: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
LEAF NUMBERS or SIZE
affects amt light captureleaf area index: ratio of total upper
leaf surface of a single plant or entire crop ÷ surface area of land on which it grows◦values up to 7 possible for mature crops
◦not much agricultural benefit to having higher values
◦more leaves increases shading of lower leaves to pt. where respiring > photosynthesizing
![Page 15: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
![Page 16: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
LEAF ORIENTATION
affects amt light captured
![Page 17: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
STEMS
function:◦supporting structures for leaves◦conduit for long-distance transport of water & nutrients
![Page 18: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
BRANCHING PATTERNS
generally. Enables plants to more effectively capture sunlight◦only finite amt of nrg to give to shoot growth
◦more nrg to shoot growth the less there is for height which may compromise their chances for capturing sunlight
◦if lots nrg goes into being tall, plant not optimizing resources above ground
◦species have variety of branching patterns
![Page 19: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
BRANCHING PATTERNS
![Page 20: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
ROOTS
function:◦mine the soil for water & minerals
◦anchor whole plant
◦evolution of branching roots enabled plants to be more efficient & more anchored
![Page 21: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
ROOTS
tallest plants typically have longest taproot & most branches
fibrous roots don’t anchor as well so those plants generally not as tall
fewer branches as root grows thru soil with fewer nutrient; more branching in nitrogen-rich areas
![Page 22: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
ROOT GROWTH
![Page 23: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
MYCORRHIZAE
mutualistic associations formed between roots & some soil fungi that aid in absorption of minerals & water
![Page 24: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Mycorrhizae
important ass’c in evolution of land plants
~80% land plants fungi provides increased surface area
to root system more water & mineral absorption◦especially phosphates
![Page 25: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
![Page 26: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Transport in Plants
both active & passive transport controls movement of substances in/out of cells
plant tissues have 2 major compartments:1. Apoplast: everything external to plasma
membrane of living cells◦ cell walls, interior of dead cells, tracheids
(long tapered water-conducting cell in xylem in most vascular plants
◦ extracellular spaces
2. Symplast: all cytosol of all living cells in plant
![Page 27: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
![Page 28: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
3 Routes for Transport in Plants
1. Apoplastic Route◦ water & solutes cell walls &
extracellular spaces
2. Symplastic Route◦ water & solutes cytosol plasma
membrane plasmodesmata next cell
3. Transmembrane Route◦ out of 1 cell cell wall neighboring cell
![Page 29: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
![Page 30: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
![Page 31: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Short-Distance Transport Across Plasma Membranes
plant plasma membranes have same types of transmembrane proteins as other cells
some differences:1. H+ pumps
◦ (not Na+) play primary role in basic transport processes
◦ maintains membrane potential◦ H+ often ½ cotransporter (Na+ in
animals)◦ part of absorption of neutral solutes,
ions, & sucrose
![Page 32: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
![Page 33: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Solute Transport across Plant Cell Membranes
![Page 34: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Osmosis & Water Potential
free water (not bound with other particle) moves down its concentration gradient across semipermeable membranes = osmosis
Water Potential: physical property that predicts direction in which water will flow based on water pressure & solute concentration
![Page 35: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Water Potential
free water moves from areas of higher water potential areas of lower water potential if no barrier to its flow
as water moves it can perform work“potential” refers to its PEΨ (psi) represents water potential measured in a unit of pressure:
megapascal MPa
![Page 36: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Water Potential
the Ψ of pure water in open container under standard conditions (sea level, room temperature) = 0MPa
1 Mpa ~ 10x atmospheric pressure @ sea level
internal pressure of living plant cell due to osmotic uptake of water is ~ 0.5 MPa
![Page 37: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
How Solutes & Pressure Affect Water Potential
Water Potential equation:
![Page 38: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Solute Water Potential
directly proportional to its molarityaka osmotic potential
◦solutes affect direction water moves in osmosis
plant solutes◦mineral ions◦sugars
![Page 39: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
How Solutes & Pressure Affect Water Potential
in pure water the Ψs = 0 as add solute they bind with water so
there is less free water molecules which decreases water’s capacity to move & do work
reason Ψs always a (-) #
as concentration of solute increases Ψs becomes more (-)
![Page 40: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Pressure Potential
Ψp = physical pressure on a solutioncan be (+) or (-) relative to
atmospheric pressure
![Page 41: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Turgor Pressure
force directed against a plant cell wall after the influx of water & swelling of the cell due to osmosis
![Page 42: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Turgor Pressure
critical for plant function: helps maintain stiffness of plant tissues & is driving force for cell elongation
![Page 43: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Wilting in Nonwoody Plant
![Page 44: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Aquaporins
difference in water potential determines direction water will flow
How does water get in/out of plant cells?◦some molecules diffuse thru lipid bilayer does not affect the rate water moves
◦transport proteins called aquaporins affect the rate water molecules move across the membrane
![Page 45: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Aquaporins
![Page 46: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Long-Distance Transport
on cellular level diffusion effective but too slow for long-distance transport w/in plant
Long-distance transport occurs thru bulk flow
◦movement of liquid in response to a pressure gradient (always high low)
![Page 47: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Bulk Flow
occurs in tracheids & vessel elements of xylem & w/in sieve-tube elements of the phloem
tracheid: long, tapered water-conducting cell found in xylem of nearly all vascular plants; functioning tracheids are no longer living
![Page 48: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
![Page 49: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
diffusion, active transport, & bulk flow act together transporting resources thru out whole plant
![Page 50: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
![Page 51: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Root Cells
water & minerals from soil enter plants thru epidermis of roots◦cells here permeable to water◦many cells differentiate into root hairs: modified cells that absorb most of water plant uses
![Page 52: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Root Cells
absorb water and “soil solution” (mineral ions not bound to soil particles)◦crosses cell walls pass freely along cell walls & extracellular spaces cortex
◦allows for greater surface area for absorption than epidermal cells alone
![Page 53: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Mineral Ions
soil solution generally has low concentration of mineral ions but root cells use active transport to absorb & store higher concentrations of mineral ions (ex. K+)
![Page 54: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Transport into Xylem
to get to the rest of plant water & minerals must get to the endodermis: the innermost layer of cortex, surrounds vascular cylinder
![Page 55: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Endodermis
serves as last “checkpoint” for selective passage of minerals from cortex vascular cylinder
![Page 56: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Transport of Water & Minerals
1. Apoplectic Route: uptake of soil solution by root hair cells apoplast diffuse to cortex along cell walls & extracellular spaces
![Page 57: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Transport of Water & Minerals
2. Symplastic Route: minerals & water cross plasma membranes of root hairs symplast
![Page 58: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Transport of Water & Minerals
3. Transmembrane Route: a soil solution moves along apoplastic route individual cells of epidermis & cortex take in what they need. Then water & minerals can move toward endodermis via symplastic route
![Page 59: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Transport of Water & Minerals
4. Endodermis: cells contain the Casparian strip: a belt of waxy material that blocks passage of soil solution. Only minerals already in the symplast or entering thru plasma membrane of an endodermal cell can detour around the Casparian strip vascular cylinder = stele
![Page 60: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Transport of Water & Minerals
5. Transport in the Xylem: endodermal cells & living cells w/in vascular cylinder discharge soil solution by bulk flow into shoot system
![Page 61: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Bulk Flow Transport via Xylem
material flowing in xylem = xylem sap moves by bulk flow veins in leaves
peak velocities in xylem 15 – 45 m/hr for trees with wide vessel elements
transpiration: loss of water vapor from leaves & other aerial parts of the plant ◦transporting xylem sap involves loss of water thru transpiration
![Page 62: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
![Page 63: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Xylem Sap Pushed by Root Pressure
@ nite when almost no transpiration roots still actively pumping in soil solution
Casparian strip prevents backward flow into cortex or soil
as result accumulation of minerals lowers water potential w/in vascular cylinder
water flows in from the root cortex generating root pressure: a push of xylem sap
![Page 64: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Guttation
when root pressure causes more water to enter leaves than is transpired exudation of water droplets on edges of leaves
![Page 65: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Root Pressure
in most plants: root pressure too weak to overcome gravity
even in plants that display guttation, root pressure cannot keep up with transpiration during sunlight hrs
![Page 66: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Pulling Xylem Sap
Cohesion-Tension Hypothesis: movement of xylem sap driven by a water potential difference @ leaf end of the xylem by evaporation of water from leaf cells
evaporation lowers the water potential @ air-water interface so generates (-) pressure that pulls water thru xylem

Role of K+ in Stomatal Opening
![Page 72: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Stimuli for Stomatal Opening & Closing
3 cues contribute to opening of stomata @ dawn:
1. Light2. CO2 depletion3. Circadian rhythm in guard cells
![Page 73: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Light Controlling Guard Cells
Light increase K+ intake guard cell become turgid◦blue—light receptors in plasma membranes of guard cells
◦when these receptors activated increases activity of proton pumps in plasma membrane increases intake of K+
![Page 74: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
CO2 Depletion
as [CO2] stored in air-spaces used in photosynthesis decreases during day hrs stomata slowly open if there is sufficient water
![Page 75: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Circadian Rhythm
a physiological cycle of about 24 hours that persists even in absence of external cues
all eukaryotic organisms have internal clocks that regulate cyclic processes
stomata will continue open/close cycle even in darkness
![Page 76: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Circadian Rhythm in Plants
![Page 77: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Environmental Stresses
close stomata even midday:
plant is dry: guard cells lose turgor close stoma
plant hormone, abscisic acid (ABA) made in roots & leaves in response to water shortage signals guard cells to close stomata reduces wilting * restricts CO2
absorption slows photosynthesis◦turgor needed for cell growth growth ceases thru out plant
![Page 78: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Transpiration Effects
greatest when temps moderate, sunny days with light wind (all increases evaporation)
in drought: stoma close but still some water loss thru cuticle plant wilts
prolonged drought leaves severely wilted & irreversibly damaged
evaporative cooling can lower leaf’s temp 10 ºC compared to surrounding air: prevents denaturation of proteins
![Page 79: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Adaptations that Reduce Evaporative Water Loss
Xerophytes: plants adapted to arid climates
dry soils unproductive not just because plants need free water for photosynthesis but also because freely available water allows plants to keep stomata open so take in more CO2
![Page 80: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Adaptations that Reduce Evaporative Water Loss
some plants in arid conditions complete their life cycle during short rainy season
![Page 81: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Adaptations that Reduce Evaporative Water Loss
reduced leaves decrease water loss (cacti)
photosynthesis done in stems
![Page 82: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
Adaptations that Reduce Evaporative Water Loss
stomata recessed in cavities called crypts (protects stoma from hot dry wind less transpiration)
cuticle thick, many layers of epidermis
![Page 83: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
Adaptations that Reduce Evaporative Water Loss
stems of many xerophytes able to store water for use during dry periods
some desert plants have very deep (20 feet or more) roots
some white to reflect light
![Page 84: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
Adaptations that Reduce Evaporative Water Loss
CAM (crassulacean acid metabolism) take in CO2 during nite so stomata can close during day when evaporative losses greatest
*stomata are most important mediators of conflicting demands for CO2 & water retention
![Page 85: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)

Phloem Moves Sugars
mature leaves are main sugar sourcesstorage organs can be seasonal sources of
sugarsugar sinks: growing organs, stems, roots,
fruit
transport of sugars (phloem sap) called translocation carried out by phloem
phloem sap carries sugars, minerals, a.a., hormones
transport is not unidirectional like xylem
![Page 87: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Loading of Sucrose into Phloem
sugars made in mesophyll cells travel via symplast (blue arrows below) to sieve-tube elements. In some plants sucrose leaves the symplast near sieve tubes & travels thru apoplast (red arrow)
![Page 88: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
Loading of Sucrose into Phloem
A chemoosmotic mechanism is responsible for the active transport of sucrose into companion cells & sieve-tube elements Proton pumps generate a H+ gradient which drives sucrose accumulation with help of a cotransport protein that couples sucrose transport to diffusion of H+ back into cell
![Page 89: Resource Acquisition & Transport in Vascular Plants Campbell and Reece Chapter 36](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dd95503460f94ace23f/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
Bulk Flow by (+) Pressure
phloem sap moves from source to sink @ up to 1m/hr◦it moves thru sieve tube by bulk flow driven by (+) pressure called pressure flow

Plant Communication
Plasmodesmata:change in permeability & numberwhen dilated, they provide
passageway for the symplastic transport of proteins, RNAs, & other macromolecules over long distances
Phloem also conducts nerve-like signals that help integrate whole-plant function
