Stem and wood allometric relationships in Cacteae (Cactaceae)

Abstract: Allometric relationships in organisms are considered a universal phenomenon. A positive scaling has been reported between stem size and cellular size of tracheary elements in wood of different vascular plants, but few studies have been carried out in slow-growing succulent plants. The aim of this study was to evaluate if a relationship exists between size, growth form and wood cell size among individual species of Cacteae. Forty-four species belonging to 16 genera of the tribe Cacteae with differing growth for… Show more

“…Hydraulic scaling models predict ways that vessels should widen as path length increases. Based on anatomical studies, mean conduit diameter clearly seems wider in larger stems (Grew, 1682;Carlquist, 1969Carlquist, , 1984Carlquist, , 1985bCarlquist, ,1989Baas et al, 1988;Butterfield et al, 1993;Lens et al, 2004;Olson & Rosell, 2006;Wheeler et al, 2007;Christensen-Dalsgaard et al, 2008;V azquez-S anchez & Terrazas, 2011). Moreover, conduits in a limited sampling of conifers and angiosperms do appear to widen from the stem tip toward the base (Sanio, 1872;De Bary, 1884;Ewers & Zimmermann, 1984;Ewers et al, 2004;Anfodillo et al, 2005;McCulloh & Sperry, 2005;Hacke et al, 2006;Weitz et al, 2006;Coomes et al, 2007;Mencuccini et al, 2007Mencuccini et al, , 2011Olson, 2007;Nygren & Pallardy, 2008;Sperry et al, 2008;Terrazas et al, 2008;Fan et al, 2009;Petit & Anfodillo, 2011).…”

“…Los engrosamientos de la pared secundaria, tanto en elementos de vaso como en traqueidas de banda ancha, también fueron observados como lo han indicado otros autores para especies de la familia Cactaceae ( Mauseth et al, 1995;Carlquist, 2009a;Vázquez-Sánchez y Terrazas, 2011). Sin embargo, aquí se muestra que la menor acumulación de pared secundaria (engrosamientos anulares o helicoidales) se presenta en la asociación elementos de vaso-traqueidas de banda ancha.…”

“…Cuando los elementos de vaso se encuentran en la matriz de fibras hay una gradación en la acumulación de la pared secundaria de los elementos de vaso hasta tener punteaduras pseudoescalariformes y alternas. La placa de perforación que se observó es simple, como se ha reportado para otros miembros de Cactaceae (Gibson, 1973;Mauseth y Fujii, 1994;Vázquez-Sánchez y Terrazas, 2011). Además con MEB, se encontró un reborde en la placa de perforación como se registra para algunos géneros de Caryophyllales y, particularmente, en Stenocereus alamosensis de Cactaceae (Carlquist,200).…”
