Horticultural crop quality is an important aspect of agricultural production because it directly influences customer preference, market value, and overall sustainability. Micronutrients are for plant nutrition they affect the growth, development, horticultural crops. This review provides in-depth understanding role micronutrients in productivity. study investigated characteristics micronutrients, their functions growth most prevalent micronutrient deficits discusses obstacles issues...
Abstract The pathways of water across root tissues and their relative contribution to plant uptake remain debated. This is mainly due technical challenges in measuring flux non-invasively at the cellular scale under realistic conditions. We developed a new method quantify fluxes inside roots growing soils. combines spatiotemporal quantification deuterated distribution imaged by rapid neutron tomography with an inverse simulation transport tissues. Using this non-invasive technique, we...
The relationship between leaf water potential, soil and transpiration depends on plant hydraulics stomata regulation. Recent concepts of stomatal response to drying relate regulation hydraulics, neglecting the loss hydraulic conductance around roots. Our objective was measure effect soil-plant maize test whether avoids a in soils. We combined root pressure chamber, which soil-root system is pressurized maintain xylem at atmospheric pressure, with sap flow sensors rate. method provides...
The present study aimed to assess the relationship of soil properties in salt-affected soils. samples were collected from 14 districts Pakistan. Soil salinity and sodicity are common features arid semiarid regions. effects salt’s interactions with micronutrients have not been well studied. Therefore, saline non-saline different locations. microelements (Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn) fractionated into water-soluble, exchangeable, carbonate, Fe + Mn oxide, organic, residual fractions. Univariate...
Abstract Plants redistribute water from wet to dry soil layers through their roots, in the process called hydraulic redistribution. Although relevance and occurrence of this are well accepted, resolving spatial distribution redistribution remains challenging. Here, we show how use neutron radiography quantify rate efflux roots soil. Maize ( Zea mays L.) plants were grown a sandy substrate 40 cm deep. Deuterated (D 2 O) was injected bottom compartment, its transport top imaged using...
Soils play a central role in the global carbon (C) cycle and can be major source or sink of greenhouse gases. The highest concentrations turnover soil C is typically found top (0-0.5m depth). Yet, total amount stored organic (SOC) subsoil (e.g. 0.5-3m) large could mobilized when environmental conditions change. These slow changes due to climate change e.g. moisture temperature affecting respiration, but also more abrupt SOC mineralization after decline groundwater level prior submerged gets...
The water balance is one of the most important factors that regulate growth, yield and quality in trees. Seasonal variations soil availability also climate change play a key role status plants. Trees developed different physiological strategies order to cope with environmental stresses. These include functional relationship between availability, plant status, consumption, which means amount used for transpiration. In present study, we aimed investigate (1) relations tree deficit (TWD),...
The rhizosphere is one of the major components in soil–plant–atmosphere continuum which controls flow water from soil into roots. Plant roots release mucilage capable altering physio-chemical properties this region. Here, we showed how impacted on hydraulic properties, using simple experiments. An artificial rhizosphere, treated or not with mucilage, was placed a sample and suction applied to mimic negative pressure plant xylem. measured contents matric potential were coupled numerical...
