| Beschreibung: | Understanding how woody plants cope with severe water shortages is critical, especially for regions where droughts are becoming more frequent and intense. We studied the effects of drought intensity, focusing on post-drought resprouting, autumn leaf senescence and the subsequent spring bud burst. Furthermore, we aimed to study population differentiation in the drought and post-drought responses. We performed a summer dry-out experiment in a common garden of potted Prunus spinosa L. (Rosaceae) saplings. We analysed responses across different visual stress symptom categories and examined differentiation between provenances from a local origin (Western Europe, Belgium), a lower latitude (Spain) and a higher latitude (Sweden). The chance of post-drought resprouting was greater for the more severely affected plants than for the less severely affected ones, and it occurred earlier. The plants that displayed wilting of the leaves during the drought had a leaf senescence 2.7 days earlier than the controls, whereas that of plants with 25 to 75% and more than 75% of desiccated leaves was 7 and 15 days later, respectively. During the drought, the local provenance was the first to develop visual symptoms compared to the other two provenances. However, among plants that exhibited no or only mild symptoms, this provenance also had a higher likelihood of post-drought resprouting. Among the control plants, the higher-latitude provenance displayed leaf senescence earlier, while the lower-latitude provenance senesced later compared to the local provenance. However, these differences in the timing of leaf senescence among the three provenances disappeared in treated plants with more than 25% of desiccated leaves due to the drought. Whereas leaf senescence could be earlier or later depending on the developed drought symptoms, the timing of bud burst was only delayed. Results indicate that resprouting and timing of leaf senescence are responsive to the severity of the experienced drought in a provenance-dependent way. |
