填空题Lifeblood of
Leaves 'Leaves have very different networks of
veins. They have different shapes, different sizes, different thicknesses,' said
Benjamin Blonder, a doctoral student in the department of ecology and
evolutionary biology. 'The really interesting question is how a leaf with a
certain form produces a certain function.' Blonder developed a
mathematical model to predict the functions of leaves based on three properties
of the vein network: density, distance between veins and number of
loops. Vein density reflects how much energy and resources the
leaf has invested in the network, while distance between veins shows how well
the veins are supplying resources to the leaf. The number of loops is a measure
of the leaf's resilience and plays a role in determining its lifespan. If the
veins reconnect often and part of the leaf becomes damaged, resources can be
circulated through different pathways. 'It's like in a city
where there's a roadblock somewhere,' said Blonder. 'If the city was designed
well, you can still take another road to get to where you want to be.' The vein
network inside of a leaf is like most of the important organ systems in a
person, Blonder said. 'It's like the skeleton because it holds the whole leaf up
and lets it capture sunlight and not get blown over in a windstorm. It's like
the circulatory system because it's distributing water from the roots up to all
the cells within the leaf, and it's also bringing resources from the leaf back
to the rest of the plant after photosynthesis has happened. It's also like a
nervous system because there are chemical signals that are transmitted to the
leaves from other parts of the plant through the liquid in the veins,' he said.
'This is important for the function of the leaf because when this one structure
is implicated in so many different patterns, clearly there're going to be
tradeoffs between being able to do all of these different functions well,' said
Blonder. For example, a leaf with a very loopy network of veins might live
longer, but it will also cost a lot of carbon, which plants absorb from carbon
dioxide in the atmosphere, to develop that vein network. Blonder's model
successfully predicted relationships among photosynthetic rate, lifespan, carbon
cost and nitrogen cost for more than 2,500 species worldwide.
To find out, the team tested leaves from 25 plant species on the UA campus.
While initial results appear to show that the model will work, the team hasn't
tested enough samples to know if it successfully predicts relationships in leaf
function on a case-specific basis. More extensive studies will include leaves
from species at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory in Colorado.
'If it's successful, we hopefully have a really satisfying way of
understanding why leaves look different in different environments—also a useful
way of understanding how leaves are functioning in different environments that
can be used for climate modeling or for reconstructing past climates from
fossils of leaves,' said Blonder. So how do relationships among
plant leaf functions impact global carbon levels? 'Carbon can only get into
leaves through little pores on the leaf surface, and when carbon comes in, which
is something good for the plant, water also comes out,' said Blonder. 'There's
this incredibly tricky tradeoff for all plants where they need to gain carbon to
make energy, but to gain that carbon they lose a lot of water in the process. So
if you want to gain more carbon, you have to lose more water.'
Plants with denser vein networks—veins that are closer together—are able to
withstand higher levels of water loss and absorb more carbon. Unfortunately,
that doesn't mean you should plant trees with dense leaf vein networks if you
want to save the planet. 'It becomes a little bit more
difficult to scale up beyond there because a plant is not only just its leaves:
It's also the trunk and the roots and so on,' said Blonder. 'The important thing
to think about is that other parts of the plant are going to be contributing to
the carbon cycle also in terms of decomposition or other large-scale
environmental effects.' 'Carbon flux from plants is critical to
understanding global change and the global carbon cycle,' said Blonder. 'What
we're hoping to be able to do is understand the leaf side of the picture, but
there's clearly a lot more to plants and the environment than that. So this is
not the answer to every environmental question but it's a good start because
leaves are the site of photosynthesis and carbon flux, and it's certainly
necessary to understand those before you can understand plants in
general.' Blonder hopes to use his model to develop more
comprehensive climate models that take plants into account and to better
understand past climates. Blonder's model could play an important role in
understanding plant ecology, global carbon cycling and other environmental
processes in the future.
