Dynamic effects of an external mechanical stimulation on poplar growth
Unlike animals that can run away when their environment is hostile, plants must adapt to the place where they are. In particular, they perceive the deformations... -
Stiffness of normal, opposite, and tension poplar wood determined using micro...
International audience -
Mechanical characterization of green wood during maturation process and model...
Trees are able to modify the orientation of their trunk and branches by asymmetrical production of prestressed wood. Biomechanical models designed to simulate these... -
Epigenetic control of shoot phenotypic plasticity towards variations in water...
Predicted climate changes and particularly drought represent a major threat to forest health. Therefore, understanding mechanisms that control trees response to... -
Assessment of tension wood detection based on shiny appearance for three popl...

Common trade-offs between xylem resistance to cavitation and other physiologi...
We examined the relationships between xylem resistance to cavitation and 16 structural and functional traits across eight unrelated Populus deltoides x Populus nigra... -
Stress generation in the tension wood of poplar is based on the lateral swell...
The mechanism of active stress generation in tension wood is still not fully understood. To characterize the functional interdependency between the G-layer and the... -
Proteome analysis of apical abd basal regions of poplar stems under gravitrop...
Gravity is a constant force guiding the direction of plant growth. In young poplar stem, reorientation of the apical region is mainly obtained by differential growth... -
In situ FT-IR microscopic study on enzymatic treatment of poplar wood cross-s...
The feasibility of Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) microscopy to monitor in situ the enzymatic degradation of wood was investigated. Cross-sections of poplar wood... -
Whole-plant and xylem hydraulics in poplar: insights gained from Populus delt...
We present results and insights gained from the characterization of the hydraulic architecture of eight field-grown Populus deltoides × Populus nigra genotypes,... -
Strain Mechanosensing Quantitatively Controls Diameter Growth and PtaZFP2 Gen...
Mechanical signals are important factors that control plant growth and development. External mechanical loadings lead to a decrease in elongation and a stimulation of... -
Acclimation kinetics of physiological and molecular responses of plants to mu...
During their development, plants are subjected to repeated and fluctuating wind loads, an environmental factor predicted to increase in importance by scenarios of... -
Hydraulic efficiency and coordination with xylem resistance to cavitation, le...
Tests were carried out to determine whether variations in the hydraulic architecture of eight Populus deltoides3Populus nigra genotypes could be related to variations... -
Physics and molecular biology of xylem vulnerability to cavitation
Vulnerability to cavitation is an important feature for drought tolerance of trees. Understanding of the molecular basis of vulnerability to cavitation would be useful...
