We studied the physiological mechanisms involved in deleterious effects of a glyphosate-based herbicide (Factor® 540) on photosynthesis and related processes willow (Salix miyabeana cultivar SX64) plants. Sixty-day-old plants grown under greenhouse conditions were sprayed with different rates (0, 1.4, 2.1 2.8 kg a.e ha-1) commercial glyphosate formulated salt Factor® 540. Evaluations performed at 0, 6, 24, 48 72 h after exposure. established that decreases chlorophyll, carotenoid...
One method for rejuvenating land polluted with anthropogenic contaminants is through phytoremediation, the reclamation of cultivation specific crops. The capacity phytoremediation crops, such as Salix spp., to tolerate and even flourish in contaminated soils relies on a highly complex predominantly cryptic interacting community microbial life. Here, Illumina HiSeq 2500 sequencing de novo transcriptome assembly were used observe gene expression washed purpurea cv. 'Fish Creek' roots from...
Industrial and agricultural activities have caused extensive metal contamination of land throughout China across the globe. The pervasive nature pollution can be harmful to human health potentially cause substantial negative impact biosphere. To investigate anthropogenic found in high concentrations industrial, agricultural, urban environments, 16S ribosomal RNA gene amplicon sequencing was used track change amplified microbial community after a large-scale field experiment Shanghai. A total...
Salix L. is the largest genus in family Salicaceae (450 species). Several classifications have been published, but taxonomic subdivision has under continuous revision. Our goal to establish phylogenetic structure of using molecular data on all American willows, three DNA markers. This complete phylogeny willows allows us propose a biogeographic framework for evolution genus. Material was obtained 122 native and introduced willow species America. Sequences were from ITS (ribosomal nuclear...
Abstract Development of dedicated bioenergy crop production systems will require accurate yield estimates, which be important for determining many the associated environmental and economic impacts their production. Shrub willow ( Salix spp) is being promoted in areas USA Canada due to its adaption cool climates wide genetic diversity available breeding improvement. Willow North America an early stage, selection elite genotypes commercialization testing across broad geographic regions gain...
The phytoextraction of the trace elements (TEs) As, Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn by willow cultivars (Fish Creek, SV1 SX67) was measured during a 3-year field trial in mildly contaminated soil. Biomass ranged from 2.8 to 4.4 Mg/ha/year at 30,000 plants/ha. Shoots (62%) were main component followed leaves (23%) roots (15%). positively linked soluble soil dissolved organic carbon, K, Mg, while TEs, not Cd Zn, had negative effect. TE concentration ranking was: > Cu Pb distribution patterns were: (i)...
The use of willow plantations can be a sustainable approach for treating primary municipal wastewater, potentially reducing both the environmental and economic burdens associated with conventional treatment. However, impact wastewater irrigation upon biorefinery potential has not yet been established. To investigate this effect, three-year-old field grown willows were harvested from plots kept as either controls or irrigated effluent at 29.5 million L ha−1 yr−1. Biomass compositional...
