To further our understanding of the influence of global climate change on isoprene production we studied the effect of elevated [CO2] and vapour pressure deficit (VPD) on isoprene emission rates from leaves of Populus deltoides Bartr. during drought stress. Trees, grown inside three large bays with atmospheres containing 430, 800, or 1200 μmol mol–1 CO2 at the Biosphere 2 facility, were subjected to a period of drought during which VPD was manipulated, switching between low VPD (approximately 1 kPa) and high VPD (approximately 3 kPa) for several days. When trees were not water-stressed, elevated [CO2] inhibited isoprene emission and stimulated photosynthesis. Isoprene emission was less responsive to drought than photosynthesis. As water-stress increased, the inhibition of isoprene emission disappeared, probably as a result of stomatal closure and the resulting decreases in intercellular [CO2] (Ci). This assumption was supported by increased isoprene emission under high VPD. Drought and high VPD dramatically increased the proportion of assimilated carbon lost as isoprene. When measured at the same [CO2], leaves from trees grown at ambient [CO2] always had higher isoprene emission rates than the leaves of trees grown at elevated [CO2], demonstrating that CO2 inhibition is a long-term effect.

Douglas-fir (Pseudotsugamenziessi (Mirb.) Franco), western hemlock (Tsugaheterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.), and Pacific silver fir (Abiesamabalis (Doug.) Forbes) seedlings were planted in the spring as 1-0 container-grown plugs on a south-facing high elevation clear-cut located on Mount Arrowsmith, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, and their stomatal responses to environmental and physiological variables were determined over two successive growing seasons. The stomatal responses of all three species to changes in environmental variables and time did not differ over the 2 years nor were there differences in response between seedlings planted a year apart. A simple multiplicative boundary-line model that related seedling stomatal conductance (gs) to measurements of hourly average solar irradiance, air temperature, vapour pressure deficit, and average root zone soil water potential accounted for over 70% of the variability in gs. When the number of hours from sunrise was included as an independent variable, over 85% of the variability in gs could be explained. Daily seedlings transpiration rates on a projected leaf area basis were successfully estimated by summing the product of the calculated average gs and D/(RvT′) where D is the vapour pressure deficit, Rv is the gas constant for water vapour, and T′ is the absolute air temperature.

SUMMARYThe influence of air temperature (T), vapour pressure deficit (vpd), irradiance (Q) and leaf water potential (ψ) on diurnal stomatal movement of coffee plants was examined under field and controlled environmental conditions. Leaves of plants grown under shade had larger stomatal conductance (g) values than plants grown in open sun. Stomatal responses to vpd under constant temperature conditions were very strong, indicating that ambient humidity could play a major role in controlling stomatal aperture. Changes in g as vpd increased probably contributed to observed reductions in the rate of net photosynthesis (Pn), though the effect of vpd on Pn was smaller.

Stomatal response to leaf-to-air vapour pressure deficit (LAVPD) was studied in the annual arid zone C4 grasses Schoenefeldia gracilis, Dactyloctenium aegyptium and Eragrostis tremula and in the C3 species, convolvulus, Ipomoea pes-tigridis and Ipomoea vagans. Stomatal responses to LAVPD were consistent with the drought survival strategies adopted by the different species. In drought resistant species (S. gracilis, I. vagansand I. pes-tigridis) stomatal conductance showed a negative response to increasing LAVPD whereas, in drought escaping species (D. aegyptium and E. tremula), stomatal conductance was independent of LAVPD. These observations suggest that resistance to drought was associated with stomatal closure as LAVPD increased, thus reducing the negative effect of a higher evaporative demand on water use efficiency, whereas in drought escaping species stomata showed no response to increasing evaporative demand in the atmosphere.

Abstract Dynamic variation of the stomatal pore in response to changes in leaf–air vapour pressure difference (VPD) constitutes a critical regulation of daytime gas exchange. The stomatal response to VPD has been associated with both foliage abscisic acid (ABA) and leaf water potential (Ψ l); however, causation remains a matter of debate. Here, we seek to separate hydraulic and hormonal control of stomatal aperture by manipulating the osmotic potential of sunflower leaves. In addition, we test whether stomatal responses to VPD in an ABA-deficient mutant (w-1) of sunflower are similar to the wild type. Stomatal apertures during VPD transitions were closely linked with foliage ABA levels in sunflower plants with contrasting osmotic potentials. In addition, we observed that the inability to synthesize ABA at high VPD in w-1 plants was associated with no dynamic or steady-state stomatal response to VPD. These results for sunflower are consistent with a hormonal, ABA-mediated stomatal responses to VPD rather than a hydraulic-driven stomatal response to VPD.
