We quantified ascorbate, glutathione and alpha-tocopherol in fine roots of mature Fagus sylvatica L. under free-air canopy ozone (O(3)) exposure (twice ambient O(3) concentration, 2x[O(3)]) during two growing seasons that differed in the extent of summer drought (exceptional drought year 2003,
We characterized leaf gas exchange and antioxidative defence of two-year-old seedlings and 60-year-old trees of Fagus sylvatica exposed to ambient (1 x O3) or two-fold ambient (2 x O3) O3 concentrations (maximum of 150 ppb) in a free-air canopy exposure system throughout the growing season. Decline
In this study the influence of chronic free-air ozone exposure and of different meteorological conditions in the very dry year 2003 and the more humid year 2004 on the antioxidative system in sun and shade leaves of adult FAGUS SYLVATICA trees were investigated. Contents of ascorbate, glutathione,
Three-year-old beech (Fagus sylvatica) seedlings growing in containers were placed into the sun and shade crown of a mature beech stand exposed to ambient (1 x O(3)) and double ambient (2 x O(3)) ozone concentrations at a free-air exposure system ("Kranzberg Forst", Germany). Pigments,
Green synthesis is one of the rapid and best ways for silver nanoparticles (AgNP) synthesis. In the present study, synthesis and bioactivity of AgNPs has been demonstrated using water beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) bark extract. The physical and chemical factors such as time, metal ion solution,
Lignophenol, prepared using a phase-separation system, is a derivative of lignin, which is one of the components in the plant cell wall, and possesses high phenolic function, high stability and antioxidant properties. However, little is known about the beneficial effect of lignophenol. In this
The influence of long-term free-air ozone fumigation and canopy position on leaf contents of total glutathione, its redox state, non-structural proteins (NSP), soluble amino compounds, and total soluble sugars in old-growth beech (FAGUS SYLVATICA) and spruce (PICEA ABIES) trees were determined over
The accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in seed tissues plays an important role in the loss of seed viability during storage. In the present study, we examined whether the loss of germination capacity and viability of beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) seeds during storage under different
Forest functionality and productivity are directly related to canopy light interception and can be affected by potential damage from high irradiance. However, the mechanisms by which leaves adapt to the variable light environments along the multilayer canopy profile are still poorly known. We
BACKGROUND
Fagus sylvatica L. is one of the most widely distributed broad-leaved tree species in central and western Europe, important to the forest sector and an accurate biomarker of climate change.
OBJECTIVE
To profile the beech leaf metabolome for future studies in order to investigate deeper
The influence of free-air ozone (O(3)) fumigation on the levels of gene transcripts and compounds of defence and signalling were analysed in leaves of adult beech trees from the "Kranzberg Forest" research site in 2003 and 2004. This includes the precursor of the stress hormone ethylene, ACC
The aim of the present work was the high-performance liquid chromatographic separation and multistage mass spectrometric characterization of the polyphenolic compounds of beech bark, as well as the extraction optimization of the identified compounds. Beech is a common and widely used material in the
The present study aimed, on the one hand, to improve the yield of microwave assisted extraction (MAE) of polyphenols from beech bark by using a design of experiments (DoE) approach. On the other hand, beech bark extracts (BBE) were characterized in terms of their phytochemical profile and evaluated
Seeds are the basis of propagation for the common beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), but the seed set of the beech is unsteady, with 5-10 years between abundant crops. Beech seeds are very difficult to store and lose their viability quickly even in optimum storage conditions. To date, it has not been
Within the scope of quantifying ozone (O(3)) effects on forest tree crowns it is still an open question whether cuvette branches of adult trees are reasonable surrogates for O(3) responses of entire tree crowns and whether twigs exhibit autonomy in defense metabolism in addition to carbon autonomy.
