Figure 4: The relationship between nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) and PLC in the distal branches.
From: The dynamics of carbon stored in xylem sapwood to drought-induced hydraulic stress in mature trees
The daily variation of soluble sugar content in the control (A) and irrigation trees (B), and that of starch content in the control (C) and irrigation (D) control trees. Red and blue colors denote Hibiscus glaber and Ligustrum micranthum, respectively. The numbers in each panel show the order of the measurement days over the experimental period from 23 June (1) to 22 July (7) in 2014. Thin lines show the period of dehydration, and thick lines show the period of rehydration after being supplied with water. See the legend of Fig. 1 for the timing of the water supply.
