Aquaporins and leaf movements (Botanical Briefing)


Figure 1
Leaf movements can be mediated by specialized pulvinar motor organs or by epinastic growth. Both are associated with faster rates of membrane water transport, which is often facilitated by aquaporins. Uehlein and Kaldenhoff (pp. 1–4) summarize current research on the involvement of aquaporins in leaf movements.

Significance of isoprene emission (Invited Review)


Figure 2
Sunlit oak leaves emit approx. 2 % of photosynthesized carbon as isoprene. Sharkey et al. (pp. 5–18) evaluate the importance of isoprene emission for biosphere/atmosphere interactions and for the emitting plants themselves. They conclude that isoprene emission evolved many times to cope with short, high-temperature episodes and to protect . . . [Full Text of this Article]
