Seasonal Changes In The Physiological Characteristics Of Anatolian Black Pine And The Effect On Seedling Quality, Ayşe Deli̇göz
Seasonal Changes In The Physiological Characteristics Of Anatolian Black Pine And The Effect On Seedling Quality, Ayşe Deli̇göz
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
Seasonal changes in water relations parameters, dry weight fraction (DWF), and root growth potential (RGP) were examined for Anatolian black pine [Pinus nigra Arn. subsp. pallasiana (Lamb.) Holmboe] seedlings. In addition, phenological conditions were monitored. Water relations parameters were estimated using the pressure-volume technique, including osmotic potential at full turgor (\psi_{\pi100}), osmotic potential at turgor loss point (\psi_{\piTLP}), free water content at turgor loss point (FWC_{TLP}), relative water content at turgor loss point (RWC_{TLP}), and symplastic water/dry weight (Vo/DW). \psi_{\piTLP}, \psi_{\pi100}, DWF, and RGP showed seasonal changes, but FWC_{TLP}, RWC_{TLP}, and Vo/DW did not show a clear seasonal change.
