Ear rachis xylem occlusion and associated loss in hydraulic conductance coincide with the end of grain filling for wheat

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Pierre Martre from the Pascal University, Clermont-Ferrand, France, Laboratoire d'Ecophysiologie Végétale, Ecole have published the article: Ear Rachis Xylem Occlusion and Associated Loss in Hydraulic Conductance Coincide with the End of Grain Filling for Wheat, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: The aim of the study was to unravel these mechanisms in wheat. The authors report here for the first time that the onset of grain dehydration is preceded by a sharp decrease of the rachis hydraulic conductance. The authors show that the deposition of a pectic gel in the lumen . . .
