In this opinion article we examine the relationship between penetrometer resistance and soil depth in field. Assuming that root growth is inhibited at resistances > 2.5 MPa, conclude most circumstances increases with are sufficiently great to confine deep roots elongating existing structural pores. We suggest rooting more likely related interaction architecture structure than it ability of a deform strong soil. Although an important trait, propose closely exploration surface layers rooting.
Breeding crops with ideal root system architecture for efficient absorption of phosphorus is an important strategy to reduce the use phosphate fertilizers. To investigate genetic variants leading changes in architecture, 405 oilseed rape cultivars were genotyped a 60K Brassica Infinium SNP array low and high P environments. A total 285 single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated traits at varying levels. Nine corroborate previous linkage analysis quantitative trait loci BnaTNDH population....
We were interested to determine the effects of horizontal stratification nutrient-rich zones within different layers soil profile in water-limited environments on root growth and crop yield. This is practically relevant large areas China, many which have been over-fertilized. used soil-filled rhizotrons 1.4 m deep grow wheat. Three stratifications at depths 0–40, 60–100 0–140 cm. The was packed a density 1.5 g cm−3, matric potential −10 kPa. wheat grown until it terminal drought. Low...
Abstract Triple polymer coated with controlled‐release water retention fertilizer (TCWF) and enhanced mechanical property was developed by coating polyethylene (first layer), poly (acrylic acid‐ co ‐acrylamide) superabsorbent (second (butyl methacrylate) (third layer) consecutively on the granule core urea in fluidized‐bed coater. The inner layer possessed property, middle had absorbent characteristic, thin outer aimed to protect fragile of superabsorbent. relationship between thickness...
We were interested in the effect of impedance to root growth on and shoot architecture wheat. It is known that
Background and Aims An important adaptation of plants to phosphorus (P) deficiency is alter root system architecture (RSA) increase P acquisition from the soil, but soil-based observations RSA are technically challenging, especially in mature plants. The aim this study was investigate development oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) under low high soil conditions during an entire growth cycle. Methods A new large Brassica–rhizotron (approx. 118-litre volume) developed dynamics B. 'Zhongshuang11'...
Study explores the factors contributing to compaction, aiming develop effective mitigation methods.• The goal is reduce soil improve quality, boost crop yield and enhance agricultural sustainability.
How crop domestication mediates root functional traits and trait plasticity in response to neighboring plants is unclear, but it important for selecting potential species be grown together facilitate P uptake. We grew two barley accessions representing a two-stage process as sole or mixed with faba bean under low high inputs. analyzed six associated acquisition plant uptake five cropping treatments pot experiments. The spatial temporal patterns of acid phosphatase activity were characterized...
Phosphorus (P) deficiency induces cluster-root formation and carboxylate exudation in most Proteaceae. However, how external P supply regulates these root traits Macadamia integrifolia remains unclear. plants were grown hydroponically with seven levels to characterize biomass allocation, development, of carboxylates acid phosphatases. Plant increased increasing supply, peaking at 5 μM P, was the same 5–25 declined 50–100 P. Leaf concentration but shoot positively correlated leaf up 0.7–0.8...
Plant root angle determines the vertical and horizontal distribution of roots in soil layer, which further influences acquisition phosphorus (P) topsoil. Large genetic variability for lateral (root angle) was observed a linkage mapping population ( Bna TNDH population) an association panel Brassica napus whether at low P (LP) or optimal (OP). At LP, average both populations became smaller. Nine quantitative trait loci (QTLs) LP three QTLs OP five relative (RRA) were identified by analysis...
Abstract Localized nutrient supply can enhance maize root proliferation, but also increase ethylene production. Whether engineering signalling in the rhizosphere further growth and uptake remains unknown. Here, field column experiments for ( Zea mays . L) were designed as different treatments (broadcast or localized containing ammonium phosphorus) with without inoculation rhizobacterium Variovorax paradoxus 5C‐2 1‐aminocyclopropane‐1‐carboxylate (ACC) deaminase. Rhizobacterial increased...
Abstract We have synthesized series of superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) by solution free radical polymerization acrylic acid (AA), acrylamide (AM) with different functional monomers (FM). Three including zwitterionic monomer [3‐(methacryloylamino) propyl] dimethyl (3‐sulfopropyl) ammonium (MPDSA), cationic (3‐acrylamidopropyl) trimethylammonium chloride (APTAC) and anionic 2‐acrylamidoglycolic monohydrate (AGAM) were selected to provide charged groups on the superabsorbents. The effect...
