Dilemma: open or close stomates?

Water transport is a passive process
Water transport is a passive process
Xylem is a (mostly) dead tissue.
Water is pulled by evapotranspiration from leaf surfaces.
Pull creates tension. Water molecules can
withstand the tension because they cohere to each other and adhere to the xylem cell walls.

What to look for:
Where on the leaf: along margins, veins?
In old or young leaves? e.g. N, P, K = phloem mobile nutrients, so deficiencies appear in older leaves.

Plant responses to their internal & external environments
Plant responses to their internal & external environments
In contrast to animals, plants cope with change in their environment by changing how they grow.
Plants are developmentally plastic as a result of two features:They have indeterminate growth.Their cells are totipotent.
Plant development is mediated by hormones.

Secondary plant metabolites
Secondary plant metabolites
Angiosperms produce an incredible array of chemicals, called secondary metabolites (AKA secondary products).
Three classes:1. Alkaloids; e.g. nicotine, caffeine, morphine,
quinine2. Terpenoids; e.g. essential oils3. Phenolics; e.g. flavonoids, anthocyanins,
coumarins, tannins Why function do these substances serve in
plants?

Butterflies and plants: biochemical coevolutionButterflies and plants:
biochemical coevolution
Coevolution: the evolution of adaptations in two or more populations that interact closely
Certain compounds characterize whole families of angiosperms; for example,o Plants in the Family Brassicaceae contain toxic mustard oil glycosides.o Thus, most insects ignore this family; but certain groups feed only on this
family; e.g. the butterfly subfamily Pierinae (cabbage whites)o How do you suppose this association came about?

Protecting species = protecting ecosystemsProtecting species =
protecting ecosystems Butterfly is federally
listed as endangered. ESA requires that its
critical habitat be protected. This requires:1. Protecting the larval host
plant & adult nectar sources.
2. Restoring prairies.3. Reintroducing fire.
Thus, protecting species means restoring ecosystem structure and ecological processes.
