Hydraulic Conductance as a Factor Limiting Leaf Expansion of Phosphorus-Deficient Cotton Plants

John W. Radin and Marie P. Eidenbock

Suboptimal levels of phosphorus (P) strongly inhibited leaf expansion in young cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) plants during the daytime, but had little effect at night. The effect of P was primarily on cell expansion. Compared to plants grown on high P, plants grown on low P had lower leaf water potentials and transpiration rates, and greater diurnal fluctuations in leaf water potential. Hydraulic conductances of excised root systems and of intact transpiring plants were determined from curves relating water flow rate per unit root length to the pressure differential across the roots. Both techniques showed that low P significantly decreased root hydraulic conductance. The effects of P nutrition on hydraulic conductance preceded effects on leaf area. Differences in total root length, shoot dry weight, and root dry weight all occurred well after the onset of differences in leaf expansion. The data strongly indicate that low P limits leaf expansion by decreasing the hydraulic conductance of the root system.
