11 wrz 2017 · Many all-cell succulents are annual plants, and utilise their leaves as single-use stores to extend the effective growing season. Transpiration can be maintained while the stored water is gradually spent, allowing maximal carbon gain before seed-set and senescence.
15 lut 2022 · Succulent plants represent a large functional group of drought-resistant plants that store water in specialized tissues. Several co-adaptive traits accompany this water-storage capacity to constitute the succulent syndrome.
24 mar 2017 · Succulent plants are iconic components of the florae of many terrestrial ecosystems, but despite having caused fascination and prompted investigation for centuries, they still harbour many secrets in terms of physiological function and evolution.
9 sty 2023 · The fleshy organs of succulent plants develop via enlarged photosynthetic chlorenchyma and/or achlorophyllous water storage hydrenchyma cells. The precise mechanism by which anatomical traits contribute to drought tolerance is unclear, as the effect of succulence is multifaceted.
22 cze 2023 · The authors also studied phylogenetically diverse succulent species to demonstrate several differences in cell wall biochemistry between succulent and non-succulent leaves, pointing to the existence of what they called “succulent glycome”.
18 kwi 2022 · Succulent plants represent a large functional group of drought-resistant plants that store water in specialized tissues. Several co-adaptive traits accompany this water-storage capacity to constitute the succulent syndrome.
11 wrz 2017 · Common to all succulents is the presence of large cells for water storage. However, cellular succulence can occur in any vegetative plant organ, with the level of succulence in roots, stems, and leaves being subject to a certain degree of evolutionary coordination.
