abstract = {We used dedicated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
equipment and methods to study phloem and xylem transport in
large potted plants. Quantitative flow profiles were
obtained on a per-pixel basis, giving parameter maps of
velocity, flow-conducting area and volume flow (flux). The
diurnal xylem and phloem flow dynamics in poplar, castor
bean, tomato and tobacco were compared. In poplar, clear
diurnal differences in phloem flow profile were found, but
phloem flux remained constant. In tomato, only small diurnal
differences in flow profile were observed. In castor bean
and tobacco, phloem flow remained unchanged. In all plants,
xylem flow profiles showed large diurnal variation.
Decreases in xylem flux were accompanied by a decrease in
velocity and flow-conducting area. The diurnal changes in
flow-conducting area of phloem and xylem could not be
explained by pressure-dependent elastic changes in conduit
diameter. The phloem to xylem flux ratio reflects what
fraction of xylem water is used for phloem transport
(Munch's counterflow). This ratio was large at night for
poplar (0.19), castor bean (0.37) and tobacco (0.55), but
low in tomato (0.04). The differences in phloem flow
velocity between the four species, as well as within a
diurnal cycle, were remarkably small (0.25-0.40 mm s(-1)).
We hypothesize that upper and lower bounds for phloem flow
velocity may exist: when phloem flow velocity is too high,
parietal organelles may be stripped away from sieve tube
walls; when sap flow is too slow or is highly variable,
phloem-borne signalling could become unpredictable.},
