Water deficits uncouple growth from photosynthesis, increase C content, and modify the relationships between C and growth in sink organs

B Muller, F Pantin, M Génard, O Turc… - Journal of …, 2011 - academic.oup.com
In plants, carbon (C) molecules provide building blocks for biomass production, fuel for
energy, and exert signalling roles to shape development and metabolism. Accordingly, plant …

Drought affects abortion of reproductive organs by exacerbating developmentally driven processes via expansive growth and hydraulics

O Turc, F Tardieu - Journal of experimental botany, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Abortion of reproductive organs is a major limiting factor of yield under water deficit, but is
also a trait selected for by evolutionary processes. The youngest reproductive organs must be …

Modelling temperature-compensated physiological rates, based on the co-ordination of responses to temperature of developmental processes

B Parent, O Turc, Y Gibon, M Stitt… - Journal of Experimental …, 2010 - academic.oup.com
Temperature fluctuates rapidly and affects all developmental and metabolic processes. This
often obscures the effects of developmental trends or of other environmental conditions …

Expansion of pea leaves subjected to short water deficit: cell number and cell size are sensitive to stress at different periods of leaf development

J Lecoeur, J Wery, O Turc… - Journal of Experimental …, 1995 - academic.oup.com
We have followed the expansion of individual pea leaves from initiation to maximum area,
over two markedly different periods. During the first one (2/3 of total leaf development time), …

[HTML][HTML] A robot-assisted imaging pipeline for tracking the growths of maize ear and silks in a high-throughput phenotyping platform

N Brichet, C Fournier, O Turc, O Strauss, S Artzet… - Plant Methods, 2017 - Springer
Background In maize, silks are hundreds of filaments that simultaneously emerge from the
ear for collecting pollen over a period of 1–7 days, which largely determines grain number …

Individual Leaf Development in Arabidopsis thaliana: a Stable Thermal‐time‐based Programme

C Granier, C Massonnet, O Turc, B Muller… - Annals of …, 2002 - academic.oup.com
In crop species, the impact of temperature on plant development is classically modelled
using thermal time. We examined whether this method could be used in a non‐crop species, …

Drought‐induced changes in anthesis‐silking interval are related to silk expansion: A spatio‐temporal growth analysis in maize plants subjected to soil water deficit

…, F Tardieu, O Turc - Plant, cell & environment, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
The growth and emergence of maize silks has a considerable importance in yield determination
under drought conditions. Spatial and temporal patterns of the rates of tissue expansion …

Phenological response of pea to water stress during reproductive development

B New, C Duthion, O Turc - Crop science, 1994 - Wiley Online Library
… Analysis of the distribution of seeds along the stem suggested that the final stage at which
seed abortion occurred corresponded approximately o the initiation of linear seed filling. …

Leaf senescence induced by mild water deficit follows the same sequence of macroscopic, biochemical, and molecular events as monocarpic senescence in pea

E Pic, BT de La Serve, F Tardieu, O Turc - Plant Physiology, 2002 - academic.oup.com
We have compared the time course of leaf senescence in pea (Pisum sativum L. cv Messire)
plants subjected to a mild water deficit to that of monocarpic senescence in leaves of three …

Ovary apical abortion under water deficit is caused by changes in sequential development of ovaries and in silk growth rate in maize
