1 Hormonal and other chemical effects on plant growth and functioning Bill Davies Lancaster Environment Centre, UK

2 Integrating the impacts of soil drought and atmospheric stress High radiant load Reduced water availability Increasing soil strength Increased ionic stress High T High vpd Tendency to focus on individual factors but we need a mechanistic understanding of the operation of the whole plant if we are to take profit from new genetic opportunities and new management techniques

3 Summary Introduction - the sensitivity of plant growth and functioning to reduction in water availability Perception and effects of soil drying. Long distance chemical signalling ph and ABA signalling and the control of g s and shoot water status Some effects of ABA at the molecular level Conclusions

4 Impacts of soil drought and atmospheric stress on shoot functioning - Hydraulic effects High radiant load High vpd Soil drying

5 Impacts of soil drought and atmospheric stress on shoot functioning - Hydraulic effects High radiant load High vpd Reduced water uptake Soil drying

6 Impacts of soil drought and atmospheric stress on shoot functioning - Hydraulic effects High radiant load High vpd High Transpiration Reduced water uptake Soil drying

7 Impacts of soil drought and atmospheric stress on shoot functioning - Hydraulic effects High radiant load High vpd High Transpiration Reduced water uptake Shoot water deficit restricted growth, development and functioning Soil drying

8 However: growth and stomatal behaviour can be very sensitive to soil drying even when shoot water status is unaffected How can this occur? (Henson et al. 1989)

9 Impacts of soil drought and atmospheric stress on shoot functioning - Chemical effects Root signal generated

10 Impacts of soil drought and atmospheric stress on shoot functioning - Chemical effects Increased xylem ph Root signal generated

11 Impacts of soil drought and atmospheric stress on shoot functioning - Chemical effects Increased apoplastic ph Increased xylem ph Root signal generated

12 Impacts of soil drought and atmospheric stress on shoot functioning - Chemical effects High radiant load Increased apoplastic ph Increased xylem ph Root signal generated

13 Impacts of soil drought and atmospheric stress on shoot functioning - Chemical effects Reduced g s High radiant load Increased apoplastic ph Increased xylem ph Root signal generated

14 Impacts of soil drought and atmospheric stress on shoot functioning - Chemical effects Reduced g s High radiant load Increased apoplastic ph Control of shoot water status Regulation of development Increased xylem ph Root signal generated

15 Impacts of soil drought and atmospheric stress on shoot functioning - Chemical effects Reduced water flux Reduced g s High radiant load Increased apoplastic ph Control of shoot water status Regulation of development Increased xylem ph Root signal generated
