We investigated the physiological basis for tolerance of limiting P supply and enhanced growth with simultaneous addition N in Aspalathus linearis (Burm. f.) R. Dahlgren. It was hypothesised that increasing would stimulate acquisition mechanisms enhance plant high supply. In sand, plants received 100μM, 300μM, 500μM 700µM at a low level 10µM 100µM. solution, 200μM 500µM 5µM 15µM. Cluster roots formed only Roots showed greater citrate malate production phosphatase activity than 15µM P. At P,...
AimsIn the Core Cape Subregion (CCR), a Mediterranean-climate ecosystem with infertile soils, legume species Podalyria calyptrata and P. burchellii are in separate clade to leipoldtii myrtillifolia. The closely related allopatric, west-east climate gradient variation soil nutrient availability CCR, it was hypothesized that two allopatric would differ their ecological niche root:shoot ratio, specific root length (SRL) organic acid exudation responses phosphorus (P) supply.
