Abstract
The relationships between whole-plant growth and morphogenetic processes under abiotic stresses are still partly unknown. Whole-plant biomass growth can be decreased by many abiotic stresses, including water deficit and shading. Two experiments were performed on potted plants of one grapevine cultivar (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Syrah) subjected to watering and shading treatments. Under water stress, plants reduced their primary and secondary axis leaf production rate, whereas secondary axis budburst was relatively unaffected. Individual leaf area was reduced and a strong decrease in leaf expansion rate was observed. Under shading, primary axis organogenesis was maintained, both secondary axis budburst rate and phytomer appearance rate were decreased, and individual leaf area slightly increased. Specific leaf area did not change under soil water deficit, whereas it increased under shading. These results confirm the existence of dynamic changes in organ sink strength and biomass allocation patterns to favour plant leaf area growth under shading, and to reduce plant leaf area and water losses by transpiration under water stress. From a modelling point of view, this study shows that functional structural models based on a C balance are not fully relevant for simulating plant growth under abiotic constraints if they do not include non-trophic relationships (hormonal signalling or plant hydraulic properties) that modify organ sink strength according to abiotic constraints.
