Characterization of cryobiological responses in TF-1 cells using interrupted freezing procedures
Download2014-09-22
McGann, L. E., Elliott, J. A., Ross-Rodriguez, L. U.
Cryopreservation currently is the only method for long-term preservation of cellular viability and function for uses in cellular therapies. Characterizing the cryobiological response of a cell type is essential in the approach to designing and optimizing cryopreservation protocols. For cells used...

• While tracheid size of conifers is often a good proxy of water transport efficiency, correlations between conifer wood structure and transport safety remain poorly understood. It is hypothesized that at least some of the variation in bordered pit and tracheid structure is associated with both...

Genetic variation of hydraulic and wood anatomical traits in hybrid poplar and trembling aspen
Download2011
Hacke, U.G., Schreiber, S.G., Hamann, A., Thomas, B.R.
•Intensive forestry systems and breeding programs often include either native aspen or hybrid poplar clones, and performance and trait evaluations are mostly made within these two groups. Here, we assessed how traits with potential adaptive value varied within and across these two plant groups....

Heterogeneous distribution of pectin epitopes and calcium in different pit types of four angiosperm species
Download2011
Intervessel pits act as safety valves that prevent the spread of xylem embolism. Pectin–calcium crosslinks within the pit membrane have been proposed to affect xylem vulnerability to cavitation. However, as the chemical composition of pit membranes is poorly understood, this hypothesis has not...

Abstract: Fine tails, the resulting fine waste from oil sand processing, undergoes large-strain consolidation in tailings ponds. Its consolidation behavior must be analyzed using a large-strain consolidation theory, which requires the determination of the relationship between the void ratio and...

Pit membrane structure is highly variable and accounts for a major resistance to water flow through tracheid pits in stems and roots of two boreal conifer species
Download2015
Schulte, P.J., Schoonmaker, A.L. , Hacke, U.G.
The flow of xylem sap in conifers is strongly dependent on the presence of a low resistance path through bordered pits, particularly through the pores present in the margo of the pit membrane. A computational fluid dynamics approach was taken, solving the Navier–Stokes equation for models based...

The role of water channel proteins in facilitating recovery of leaf hydraulic concutance from water stress in Populus trichocarpa
Download2014
Gas exchange is constrained by the whole-plant hydraulic conductance (Kplant). Leaves account for an important fraction of Kplant and may therefore represent a major determinant of plant productivity. Leaf hydraulic conductance (Kleaf) decreases with increasing water stress, which is due to xylem...

The standard centrifuge method accurately measures vulnerability curves of longvesselled olive stems
Download2015
Venturas, M.D., Sperry, J.S., Hacke, U.G., Pratt, R.B. , Jacobsen, J.S., MacKinnon, E.D.
The standard centrifuge method has been frequently used to measure vulnerability to xylem cavitation. This method has recently been questioned. It was hypothesized that open vessels lead to exponential vulnerability curves, which were thought to be indicative of measurement artifact. We tested...
