Original article Use of pressure volume in water relation curves shoots: analysis woody on influence of rehydration and comparison of four European oak species 12 Dreyer F Bousquet 2 Ducrey E M 1 d’Écophysiologie INRA, Laboratoire de Bioclimatologie et Forestières, Champenoux, 54280 Seichamps; 2 Station de Sylviculture Méditerranéenne, avenue Vivaldi, INRA, 86000 Avignon, France 7 November 1989; accepted 7 May 1990) (Received Summary - Pressure volume analyses were undertaken on leafy shoots of 4 European oak species (Quercus robur, Q petraea, Q pubescens and Q ilex) in order to determine the re- lationship between leaf water potential, average osmotic potential and volume averaged tur- gor. Some technical limitations of pressure volume analysis, as shown by the influence of the resaturation method on computed turgor, were overcome by accounting for losses of intercellular water during the first stages of dehydration. Variations in leaf to stem ratio, which are very important between large leaved oaks and small leaved evergreens, surprisingly did not influence the relative symplasmic volume of our samples. Differences in mean osmotic potential at full turgor (Π were related to species, with higher values in drought adapted ) 0 species, and to leaf age and growing conditions. Values of volumetric modulus of elasticity (ϵ did not significantly influence the relations between leaf water potential (Ψ and turgor ) o ) w (P) in different species. This relationship was mostly related to Π Finally, tolerance to drought . 0 appeared to be related more to the ability to osmotically adjust in response to changes in environment rather than to the absolute values of Π . 0 water relations / Quercus sp / / turgor / water pressure-volume potential curve Résumé - Utilisation de courbes pression/volume dans l’analyse des relations hydri- ques de rameaux feuillés: influence de la réhydratation et comparaison de quatre es- pèces de chênes européens. Une analyse des relations hydriques de rameaux feuillés de 4 espèces de chêne (Quercus robur, Q petraea, Q pubescens, Q ilex) a été entreprise à l’aide de la technique des courbes pression-volume, afin de préciser les relations existant entre le potentiel hydrique foliaire, le potentiel osmotique moyen et la pression de turgescence moyenne.

cies growing under a given set of en- vironmental conditions. Before undertaking interspecific comparisons, the effects of re- hydration techniques on computed water relation parameters were evaluated and these results were used to adjust values of the parameters used to develop the spe- cies comparison. MATERIAL AND METHODS potential isotherms were established Water using the transpiration method described by Hinckley et al (1980), where a shoot is tran- spiring freely, and its weight and water po- tential are recorded at regular intervals. Theory Theory of pressure-volume curves has been established by Tyree and Hammel (1972). Pairs of values of leaf water potential Ψ and w leaf saturation deficit D, corresponding to suc- cessive states of dehydration, are plotted as: This expression relies on the hypothesis that all changes in leaf water content are due to changes in symplasmic water content, and that the apoplastic and intercellular wa- ter content remain constant. Such a curve, as shown in figure 1, displays a linear re- gion where turgor is equal to 0. A linear re- gression (least squares analysis) through the points of this straight segment results where Π is the osmotic pressure at full turgor. 0 in equation (1): The significance of both regression coefficients in equation (1) appears clearly: where Π is the volume averaged osmotic pressure of the leaf, a the slope of the fit- where Fs is the symplasm fraction of the leaf. ted line, b the Y-axis intercept, Vsi the ac- This estimation is obtained through an ex- tual symplasmic volume of the leaf, N the s trapolation of the linear regression toward total number of moles of solutes present in the X-axis (fig 1).
