Poppies were highly sensitive to manganese toxicity in solution culture and reductions in shoot yield occurred at lower manganese levels in solution and at lower shoot manganese concentrations than that for the following sensitive species, ranked in order of increasing tolerance : brussels sprout, barley, green beans, lucerne and grean pea. In contrast lupins, oats and sugar beet were relatively tolerant producing about 80% or more of maximum shoot yield at the highest solution manganese level (800 μM Mn).
In this study the sensitivity of poppy, and brussels sprout, to manganese excess was attributed to their low shoot manganese “toxicity threshold values”; and their capacity to partition a high proportion of total plant manganese and dry matter to the shoot at solution manganese levels ≥ 100 μM.
The application of these results to field grown poppy is discussed in relation to interactions between manganese and other elements which modify plant tolerance to manganese excess. 相似文献
Information on the size of nutrient flux values and their change with increasing plant age can be used to determine the nutrient levels needed in the soil to supply nutrients rapidly enough to the root surface to minimize deficiencies. The objective of this research was to determine the relation between plant age and P absorption properties and root growth characteristics of wheat (Triticum vulgare L.) cv. Era.
Wheat was grown for periods up to 42 days in solution culture in a controlled climate chamber. Sequential harvests were made and P uptake and root morphology were measured. Shoot growth was exponential with time to 32 days and linear thereafter. Root dry weights increased linearly with time at a slower rate than shoot dry weights. Root length increased logarithmically with time (r2 = 0.95; log y = 0.069x + 1.85).
With increasing plant age there was a reduction in average P uptake rate by wheat roots. 相似文献
Materials and methods: The growth of roots and root hairs as well as uptake of macro- and micronutrients of six spring wheat varieties was compared in solution culture under P stress and P abundance and in a low fertility soil.
Results and conclusions: Root length and surface area under P stress were significantly positively correlated with that in the low fertility soil, while no such correlation was apparent for root hair length and density. In absolute terms, the root length, surface area, root hair length and density of spring wheat varieties were substantially higher in soil than in solution culture, while the concentration and uptake of macro- and micronutrients in soil differed from solution culture in a complex way. The early uptake of macro- and micronutrients was intimately associated with root length and surface area as well as root hair length and density in soil but not in solution culture. Therefore, root length rather than root hair traits in low-P solution may be used to screen early root growth vigor in soil and thereby high nutrient uptake of wheat in low fertility soil. 相似文献
Inoculation of plants together with nitrogen or sulphur application produces an increase in the concentration of total nitrogen and a decrease in the accumulation of nitrate‐nitrogen and sulphate‐sulphur in shoot, fruit and root. Leaf area increased more with nitrogen than with sulphur application while the highest amounts of fruit dry matter were obtained with sulphur application.
N: S ratios obtained were different according to the part of the plant tested. Sulphur fertilization decreased the N: S ratios in shoot, fruit and root. The data obtained indicate that and adequate N: S ratio can insure maximum production of yield. 相似文献
Sunflower plants were grown in nutrient solution with four levels of salinity (0, 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 atm), induced by NaCl and four rates of Fe chelate (0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5, ppm Fe) as FeEDDHA. The experiment was a completely randomized design with treatment combinations arranged in a factorial manner with three replications.
Dry matter yield, shoot‐root ratio, leaf area, plant height and transpiration decreased as salinity increased, the effect of salinity being depressed by iron applications. Salinity reduced P, K, Ca and Mg uptake by roots as well as that of N, P, K, Ca, Mg by shoots, while Fe applications increased uptake of these elements in roots and shoots. Both salinity and iron applications increased Cl, Na and Fe uptake by roots and shoots, as expected. In most instances salinity reduced uptake of Fe, Mn and Zn by the plants while iron applications improved uptake of these elements.
The sunflower plant used in this experiment was found to be, at least partly, tolerant to salinity and decreased water availability as well as toxicity of ions. Nutritional disorders were the cause of decreased plant growth by increasing salinity of the nutrient solution. The decreased plant growth and mineral uptake, induced by salinity, were partially offset by increased iron levels in the nutrient solution. 相似文献
The absorption over 0 to 130 μM ZnCl2 followed a biphasic pattern with a second rise at 90 μM, a feature which was not observed in the absorption by roots of intact seedlings. While there were no differences in the patterns of absorption in the two cultivars, the transport to shoot in M‐35 followed a slower rate up to 90 μM than that in M‐47. When Zn uptake was examined for 6 hours, the absorption and transport showed a number of changes in phase, which were running parallel. The transport of Zn followed a higher rate in M‐47 than that in M‐35.
Phosphate decreased the uptake and also transport of Zn in both the varieties. However, Zn inhibited phosphate absorption and transport in intact seedlings differentially amongst the varieties. Further, the inhibition of Zn uptake was much less in M‐35 than in M‐47, a feature which will perhaps facilitate survival of M‐35 under water stress, a condition which would also limit phosphate availability. 相似文献
Shade increased NH4 toxicity in plants sprayed with NH4 but decreased the toxicity in plants receiving NH4 through the roots. NH4‐N greatly reduced growth and cation uptake when supplied through the roots but not with foliar application. Plants sprayed with NH4 showed better growth, higher K, Ca, and Mg content and lower free NH4 in shoot, compared to plants receiving NH4 through the roots.
The overall free amino acid contents of shoots was higher for NH4‐fed plants regardless of how the N was applied. Plants sprayed with NH4 incorporated a greater amount of N into insoluble compounds compared with NO3 nutrition. The N uptake per unit of leaf area was higher for plants grown under full sun light whereas N content was higher for plants grown under hade. N content in tissue increased with N concentration in foliar spray, although plants supplied with N through the roots had higher levels of free amino acids and total nitrogen. 相似文献
In the first experiment, sunflower was grown in nutrient solutions containing four levels of P(1.5, 2.5, 3.5 and 4.5 mM/l) and three levels of Fe(0.25, 0.75, and 1.5 ppm) as FeCl3 or FeEDDHA. In the second experiment (following the first experiment), the treatments were three P levels (0.75, 1.50 and 3.00 mM/l), three Fe levels (0.25, 0.75 and 1.5 ppm) as FeEDDHA and three Zn levels (0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 ppm).
The plants receiving Fe‐chelate, except for 0.25 ppm Fe, showed no symptoms of iron chlorosis. With inorganic Fe treatments, iron chlorosis appeared after 7–10 days depending on P level, but except for 0.25 ppm Fe which remained chlorotic, plants recovered completely within 3–4 days thereafter due to pH regulating mechanism of sunflower under iron stress condition. With both sources of Fe, chlorosis was associated with high P:Fe ratio.
Increased P and Fe levels in nutrient solution resulted in general increases in the dry weights of roots and shoots. The Fe concentration of shoots, except in few instances, was not affected by P levels, indicating that the sunflower cultivar used in this experiment could utilize inorganic Fe as well as Fe‐chelate under our experimental conditions.
Increasing P levels caused significant increases in Mn content of the shoots as 0.25 and 0.75 ppm inorganic Fe3+. Increased Fe levels increased shoot Mn content with inorganic Fe and decreased it with Fe‐chelate. The effects of P, Fe and Zn on sunflower indicated an antagonistic effect of Zn on 1.5 ppm Fe for all P levels. Increased Zn levels in nutrient solution generally increased Zn content of the shoots without having any marked effect on their Mn content. 相似文献
Photosynthetic rates at high CO2 level were affected at Mg concentration lower than about 50 μmoles/g dry leaf tissue at both photosynthetic irradiations. This was paralleled by a decrease in chlorophyll concentration. At a low CO2 level photosynthesis was affected at the same Mg concentration but the degree of the inhibition was higher. This indicates that synthesis of chlorophyll as well as CO2 fixation are affected at the same “critical”; Mg concentration.
Shade leaves contain more chlorophyll per unit leaf weight than sun leaves but the percentual‐ decrease of chlorophyll in Mg deficient leaves Is similar for sun and shade leaves at the same Mg leaf concentration. As a consequence, in Mg deficient shade leaves extraordinary high portions of leaf Mg are bound to chlorophyll (up to 57%; in contrast: up to 37% in sun leaves). 相似文献
High K plants were shorter and had a greater root:shoot mass ratio than low K plants. A trend for greater root dry matter production in soil layers below 12 cm under high K conditions was observed. There were no differences in root length between the treatments at any depth. Tissue K content was greater in the high K treatments and this Increase was equivalents offset by decreased tissue Mg concentrations. The taller low K plants had a greater leaf area and a lower specific leaf weight, resulting in part from decreased starch content. Daily evapotranspirational water losses per pot tended to be greater under the low K availability regime. This Information led to the speculation that under low K conditions, the soybean plant may increase K accumulation by promoting transpirational water use, aiding soil K acquisition by mass flow and diffusion. Tissue carbohydrate analyses suggest greater translocation of photosynthate out of the leaf in the low K plants for use in root absorption metabolism, rather than for production of increased root dry matter and/or increased root length. 相似文献
Phosphorus uptake kinetics were measured on 30‐day‐old wheat using split‐root experiments. Supplying P to only part of the root system resulted in lower plant P concentration and higher Imax(maximum influx) by the roots. The Imax value of wheat roots was much lower than corn (Zea mays L.) and soybeans (Glycine max L.), but the values of Km (the solution P concentration where influx, In is 1/2 Imax) and Cmin (the solution P concentration where influx, In is 1/2 Imax) were greater than those of both corn and soybean crops grown in similar experiments. Phosphorus concentrations in wheat plant's shoots and roots were higher than those for corn and soybean with the same proportions of roots in P solution. Decreasing the proportion of the roots supplied with P had no statistically significant (p = 0.05) effect on shoot dry weight. This differs from the results for corn and soybeans where it decreased significantly as the proportion of the roots exposed to P decreased. These results indicate that the effect of P placement on P uptake and on plant root growth varied among species. 相似文献
Toxicity symptoms, induced by low levels of Mn (0.1 ppm and above), included: small brown necrotic spots and veinal necrosis on primary leaves; necrosis on primary leaf petioles; interveinal chlorosis, with or without brown necrotic spots, on trifoliate leaves; and brown necrotic spots on stipules. Manganese toxicity symptoms were alleviated or prevented by increasing Fe concentration in the nutrient solution.
Manganese concentration in the leaves increased with increasing Mn and decreased with increasing Fe concentration in the nutrient solution, Iron concentration in the roots increased with increasing Fe concentration in the nutrient solution; however, Fe concentration in the leaves was not significantly affected by increasing Mn concentration in the solution culture. Manganese toxicity symptoms developed when Mn concentration in the leaves reached about 120 ppm.
A decrease in the Fe/Mn ratio in the nutrient solution resulted in a proportionate decrease in that of the leaves. Manganese toxicity symptoms occurred when the Fe/Mn ratio in the solution was 10.0 and below, or when the ratio in the leaves was less than 1.5. The ratio of Fe/Mn in the solution required for optimum growth of ‘Wonder Crop No. 2’ bean, without Mn toxicity symptoms, was in the range of 20.0 to 25.0.
Results indicate that the chlorosis on bush bean leaves induced by excessive Mn in the nutrient solution was due to excessive accumulation of Mn and not to Fe deficiency. 相似文献
Materials and methods: Endophytic bacteria were isolated from root, stem, and leaf of ginseng from different sites and genotype in China and Korea, screened based on their beneficial properties as PGPB. Nine bacterial isolates were selected according to their plant growth properties including soluble phosphate and potassium, ammonia, auxin and siderophore producing, ACC deaminase, and antagonistic pathogen as well. Changes in ginseng after PGPB inoculation were evaluated with respect to the non-inoculated control.
Results and Conclusions: The PGPB isolates were identified as genera Bacillus, Lysinibacillus, Rhizobium, Stenotrophomonas, Erwinia, Ochrobactrum, Enterobacter and Pantoea based on 16S rRNA sequences. Inoculation of G209 and G119 increased not only plant height, root length, fresh weight, and dry weight, but also root activity and the amount of ginsenosides significantly. In particular, using the Illumina Miseq platform, the native bacterial community of rhizospheric soil maintained high community diversity and increased abundance of specific bacteria. Therefore, they may be play a crucial role in sustainable ginseng cultivating in farmland. 相似文献

P and Mn deficiencies do not alter the total flavonoid level. Nevertheless, these deficiencies lead to different contributions of each flavonoid group (flavonols, flavones and flavanones) to the whole content.
B deficiency produces a very significant increase in total flavonoid content. Compounds that contribute the most to this accumulation are flavones. 相似文献
Dipartite associations and the plants inoculated with both root symbionts at planting had the highest concentration of leaf N, and the lowest was in those inoculated with both organisms at d 20. Leaf P was highest in plants inoculated only with Rhizobium, and lowest in those tripartite associations involving any inoculation at day 20. The low values were presumably a result of the short duration of endophyte‐mediated P uptake before the plants were harvested.
Although there was almost no difference in leaf sugar concentrations, starch concentrations reflected the duration of Glomus growth, and were greatest in those plants that had supported it for the least time. Uninoculated plants contained the least starch, but produced a greater fresh mass of leaf tissue than any of the tripartite symbionts. 相似文献
Nitrogen, the most utilized element in plants, is usually the first to become deficient in sandy soils low in nutrient content (1). Rabbiteye blueberries (Vaccinium ashei Reade) are often grown on acidic, sandy, upland coastal plains soils that are low in cation exchange capacity, organic matter content, and available nutrients. In these acidic soils, NH4N is more available than in neutral soils (2). The NH4N source appears to be more suitable for blueberry growth, resulting in greater nutrient uptake, plant growth, and % N of leaf tissue than did the NO3N sources (5,6).
Nitrogen deficiency symptoms in rabbiteye blueberries are characterized by small, yellow and/or red leaves and stunted plants (3). Since young rabbiteye plants are very sensitive to fertilizer, similar chlorosis symptoms (yellowing or reddening of leaves) can be associated with over‐fertilization, possibly due to root damage (7). Cain (2) found that leaves from healthy container‐grown highbush (V. corymbosum L.) blueberry plants contained about 2% N and higher levels of K and Ca than field‐grown plants. Greenhouse and Field studies indicate that leaf N content in rabbiteye blueberries is usually lower, ranging from about 1.5 to 1.8 (3,7,8). Increased N fertilization decreased the nutrient uptake of other essential elements (Ca and Mg) in rabbiteye blueberries (6). In highbush, Popenoe (4) indicated that a depression of P and K might occur under conditions of high N levels.
This study was initiated to ascertain the effect of NH4N fertilization levels on uptake patterns of essential elements and to determine the relationships of N fertilization, leaf N content, plant growth, and visible deficiency symptoms. 相似文献
The lower root CEC of Pima S‐5 and Stoneville 825 in non‐toxic conditions could provide an initially greater Al tolerance when roots grow into marginally Al toxic soil. Under sustained, Al toxic conditions, root CEC becomes altered and is more of an indirect indicator of root growth as affected by as yet undetermined Al tolerance mechanism(s).
The steady‐state technique to determine root CEC virtually eliminated the inherent problems of CO. effects on pH and titrating to an end point in a specific period of time in a dynamic system. 相似文献
At the 8‐leaf stage, sorghum plants subjected to 25C were significantly higher in concentration of N, P, K, Mg, and Cu, but were significantly lower in Ca. Soil temperature did not significantly affect concentration of Zn, Fe, and Mn. At the 12‐leaf stage, sorghum plants grown in the warm soil temperature treatment were lower in concentration of N, K, Ca, Mg, Zn, Fe, Mn, and Cu than plants grown in the cooled‐soil treatment. Phosphorus showed a negative response to increased temperature.
It was concluded that further research relating element uptake and translocation to temperature is needed. Element accumulation in the roots, stems, leaves, and floral and seed portions of the plant should be included. In addition, the interaction between plant age and element concentration should be studied more thoroughly. Both this study and the published literature indicate that this interaction is significant for many of the elements. 相似文献
Differences in P uptake rates were determined for six sorghum genotypes at 24, 38, and 52 days of age at three P levels. Larger differences were noted among genotypes in 24‐day‐old plants than for older plants. Uptake rates were 6‐ to 14‐times higher (dependent on genotype) in 24‐day‐old plants than in 52‐day‐old plants. NB9040 which had the highest dry matter yield at each age had the lowest rate of P uptake, and CK60‐Korgi which had the lowest dry matter yield at each age had the highest rate of P uptake.
Only small differences were noted among genotypes for distribution of P within plant parts for younger plants. Older plants showed differences in P distribution, and NB9040 translocated more P from lower to upper leaves, had higher efficiency ratios (dry matter produced/unit P), and had a larger root system than CK60‐Korgi.
The sorghum genotypes that produced more dry matter under low P conditions had lower uptake rates of P and had the ability to distribute P from older to younger developing tissues. When grown in soils, plants that have lower P uptake rates, greater ability to distribute P, and larger root systems may not deplete P from soil solutions as rapidly, could explore more soil, and possibly use P more efficiently than plants that do not possess these traits. 相似文献
