Plant growth conditions alter phytolith carbon
Many plants, including grasses and some important human food sources, accumulate, and precipitate silica in their cells to form opaline phytoliths. These phytoliths contain small amounts of organic matter (OM) that are trapped during the process of silicification. Previous work has suggested that plant silica is associated with compounds such as proteins, lipids, lignin, and carbohydrate comple...
متن کاملRoot bacterial endophytes alter plant phenotype, but not physiology
Plant traits, such as root and leaf area, influence how plants interact with their environment and the diverse microbiota living within plants can influence plant morphology and physiology. Here, we explored how three bacterial strains isolated from the Populus root microbiome, influenced plant phenotype. We chose three bacterial strains that differed in predicted metabolic capabilities, plant ...
متن کاملResponses of root growth and distribution of maize to nitrogen application patterns under partial root-zone irrigation
A field experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of varying nitrogen (N) supply andirrigation methods on the root growth and distribution of maize (Zea mays L.) in Wuwei,northwest China in 2011 and 2012. The irrigation treatments included alternate furrow irrigation(AI), fixed furrow irrigation (FI) and conventional furrow irrigation (CI). The N supply treatmentsincluded alternate ...
متن کاملThree Dimensional Computational Model of Water Movement in Plant Root Growth Zone
Mathematical models of the plant root growth zone already exist, but there is a lack of experimental evidence to support the model results. It is our belief that these models, specifically the Osmotic Model presented by Silk and Wagner [7], need a component representing a pressure-driven bulk flow of water through the phloem to the region in the growth zone where phloem is just beginning to fun...
متن کاملMycorrhizal species differentially alter plant growth and response to herbivory.
Plants simultaneously interact with multiple organisms which can both positively and negatively affect their growth. Herbivores can reduce plant growth through loss of plant biomass and photosynthetic area, while plant mutualists, such as mycorrhizal fungi, can increase plant growth through uptake of essential nutrients. This is the first study examining whether species-specific associations wi...
