Outline of Final Research Achievements

On the Ogasawara islands, there are slopes from dry ridge to wet valley. Along the slopes, we examined the relationships between the vulnerability of leaf xylem and leaf thickness in the sun leaves of Hibiscus glaber. Towards the dry ridge, the leaf thickness increased in spite of a constant light condition. However, the vulnerability of leaf xylem remained constant. The data indicate that the increase in leaf thickness is related to an increase in leaf capacitance, rather than cavitation tolerance in xylem, contributing to a maintenance of leaf turgor and water content against temporary leaf dehydration. Among woody plants growing at the dry ridge, micropores in intervascular pit membranes in branchelets are consistently small, indicating high cavitation tolerance. To date, xylem anatomy has been considered as species or genera specific, but we first capture the clue of the co-evolutionary variations between physiology and xylem anatomy.
