Summary Foliar anthocyanins, as well other secondary metabolites, accumulate transiently under nutritional stress. A misconception that only nitrogen or phosphorus deficiency induces leaf purpling/reddening has led to overuse of fertilizers burden the environment. Here, we emphasize several imbalances induce anthocyanin accumulation, and nutrient‐specific differences in this response have been reported for some deficiencies. range ecophysiological functions attributed anthocyanins. We...
Abstract The apoplast is the arena in which endophytic pathogens such as Pseudomonas syringae grow and interact with plant cells. Using metabolomic ion analysis techniques, this study shows how composition of Phaseolus vulgaris leaf apoplastic fluid changes during first six hours compatible incompatible interactions two strains P. pv. phaseolicola ( Pph ) that differ presence genomic island PPHGI‐1. Leaf inoculation avirulent island‐carrying strain 1302A elicited effector‐triggered immunity...
Selenium is an essential micronutrient required for the health of humans and lower plants, but its importance higher plants still being investigated. The biological functions Se related to human revolve around presence in 25 known selenoproteins (e.g., selenocysteine or 21st amino acid). Humans may receive their through plant uptake soil Se, foods enriched dietary supplements. nanoparticles (Se-NPs) have been applied biofortified feeds. Due low toxicity high efficiency, Se-NPs are used...
Globally, overuse of nitrogen (N) fertilizers in croplands is causing severe environmental pollution. In this context, Gu et al. suggest environmentally friendly and cost-effective N management practices Hamani highlight the use microbial inoculants to improve crop yields, while reducing N-associated pollution N-fertilizer use.
Chloride stress causes the leaf apoplast transiently to alkalize, an event that is presumed contribute ability of plants adapt saline conditions. However, initiation coordinated processes downstream alkalinization unknown. We hypothesize chloride-inducible pH dynamics are a key chemical feature modulating compartmental distribution abscisic acid (ABA) and, as consequence, affecting stomata aperture. Apoplastic and aperture in intact Vicia faba leaves were monitored by microscopy-based ratio...
Significance Nodules are typical organs at the roots of legumes (Fabaceae) in which symbiotic rhizobia fix atmospheric nitrogen. The fabaceous genus Crotalaria is known to produce toxic alkaloids as part its chemical defense. We show that, , nodulation triggers biosynthesis these alkaloids. first specific enzyme their plant origin and expressed exclusively nodules.
As a result of salt (NaCl)-stress, sensitive varieties maize (Zea mays L.) respond with strong inhibition organ growth. The reduction leaf elongation investigated here has several causes, including modification the mechanical properties cell wall. Among various tissues that form leaf, epidermis plays special role in controlling growth, because it is thought to rigid outer coat can restrict by interacting inner layers. This study was designed determine whether growth-related changes and its...
ABSTRACT Reducing N₂O emissions from farmlands is crucial to mitigate climate change. A recent scientific breakthrough employed an innovative method inoculate farmland soil with a bacterium, resulting in significant reduction of emissions. This commentary identifies promising environments and practices for further emission reduction.
Abstract Magnesium (Mg) deficiency reduces yield and quality of crops as Mg is involved in carbohydrate protein anabolism. Foliar application MgSO 4 represents a means ameliorating the nutritional status growing under conditions deficiency. has been demonstrated to increase chlorophyll concentration vegetative plants. However, crop plants used for seed production, limited number available studies provides only conflicting results terms efficiency leaf on quality. We have examined effect...
