          Abstract

          Estudos prévios sobre M. sellowiana, em quatro fitofisionomias no Estado do Paraná, Brasil, mostraram que suas folhas apresentaram uma grande plasticidade morfológica. Este trabalho objetivou dar continuidade ao estudo sobre a plasticidade da espécie, utilizando como indicadores as seguintes características foliares: área e massa, massa específica, espessura, ângulo, comprimento, diâmetro, porcentagem do tecido mecânico e volume do pecíolo, distâncias entre veias e densidade de venação. A análise dos componentes principais (ACP) mostrou que os dois primeiros componentes explicaram 78% da variância total. O componente principal 1 (CP1), representado pelos ângulo foliar, distância da veia principal até a margem, comprimento do pecíolo, densidade de venação, massa específica e massa seca foliar, explicou 56,06% da variância total, enquanto que o componente principal 2 (CP2), representado pela área foliar, explicou 12,62% da variância total. O CP1 mostrou dois agrupamentos: um entre os indivíduos da Floresta Ombrófila Mista e Floresta Ombrófila Densa Montana e outro entre os indivíduos da Estepe Gramíneo-Lenhosa e Floresta Ombrófila Alto-Montana. Para o CP2, a distribuição é mais homogênea entre as quatro fitofisionomias estudadas. A ACP sugere o mesmo gradiente mesomórfico-xeromórfico encontrado nos estudos anteriores para M. sellowiana, mostrando que os atributos morfológicos aqui estudados são também plásticos, respondendo as condições ambientais diferenciadas entreas quatro fitofisionomias.

          Translated abstract

          Previous studies on M. sellowiana from four different plant physiognomies in Paraná state, Brazil, have shown that the leaves of this species have great morphological plasticity. This work continues the study on the morphological plasticity of the species, using the following characteristics of leaf architecture as indicators: area, dry weight, specific dry weight, thickness, angle, length, diameter, percent mechanical tissue, and petiole volume, venation density, and distance between veins. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that the first two components explained 78% of total variance. Principal component 1 (PC1), represented by leaf angle, petiole length, dry weight, specific dry weight, venation density, and the ratio of the distance of the midrib to the second vein/leaf area, explained 56.06%, while principal component 2 (PC2), mainly represented by leaf area, explained 12.62% of total variance. PC1 showed two distinct groups, one formed by plants from Araucaria Forest and Dense Montane Forest, and the other by plants from Dense Upper-Montane Forest and Grassland. For PC2, the distribution is more homogenous among the plants of the four physiognomies. PCA suggests that the same mesomorphicxeromorphic gradient found in previous studies of M. sellowiana is present, showing that the morphological attributes observed herein are also plastic, responding to distinct abiotic conditions among the plant physiognomies.

              Leaf hydraulics.

              Leaves are extraordinarily variable in form, longevity, venation architecture, and capacity for photosynthetic gas exchange. Much of this diversity is linked with water transport capacity. The pathways through the leaf constitute a substantial (>or=30%) part of the resistance to water flow through plants, and thus influence rates of transpiration and photosynthesis. Leaf hydraulic conductance (K(leaf)) varies more than 65-fold across species, reflecting differences in the anatomy of the petiole and the venation architecture, as well as pathways beyond the xylem through living tissues to sites of evaporation. K(leaf) is highly dynamic over a range of time scales, showing circadian and developmental trajectories, and responds rapidly, often reversibly, to changes in temperature, irradiance, and water supply. This review addresses how leaf structure and physiology influence K(leaf), and the mechanisms by which K(leaf) contributes to dynamic functional responses at the level of both individual leaves and the whole plant.
