Forest vulnerability against climate change is highlighted by the forest diebacks caused by intense droughts. Trees are functioning at their limit of hydraulic failure due to a little hydraulic safety margin. Their behaviour in a context of climate change is, at least partially, linked with phenotypic variability of a key parameter in drought resistance: the xylem vulnerability to cavitation. Previous studies have shown this trait to be under phenotypic plasticity. The main objective of this thesis is to study the consequences of this plasticity in the hydraulic functioning and to identify its structural basis, which is the priority for the search of the genetic determinants for this trait.Poplar saplings were cultivated under grown in cont...
