Effect of Light Interception Difference in Soybean Canopy on Leaf Nitrogen Concentration, Nitrogen Accumulation and Nitrogen Partitioning into Pod.

Effect of rhizobium and nitrogen on soybean

Photosynthetic light acclimation in peach leaves: importance of changes in mass:area ratio, nitrogen concentration, and leaf nitrogen partitioning.

Photosynthetic light acclimation of leaves can result from (i) changes in mass-based leaf nitrogen concentration, Nm, (ii) changes in leaf mass:area ratio, Ma, and (iii) partitioning of total leaf nitrogen among different pools of the photosynthetic machinery. We studied variations in Nm and Ma within the crowns of two peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) trees grown in an orchard in Portugal, and ...

Distribution of leaf mass per unit area and leaf nitrogen concentration determine partitioning of leaf nitrogen within tree canopies.

Distribution of leaf nitrogen with respect to leaf mass per unit area (M(a)), nitrogen per unit mass (N(m)) and nitrogen per unit area (N(a)) within peach (Prunus persica L.) tree canopies was studied in two field experiments. In one experiment, leaf light exposure and M(a) were measured on leaves from different canopy positions of peach trees subjected to five nitrogen (N) fertilization treatm...

Depth of nitrogen fertiliser placement affects nitrogen accumulation, translocation and nitrate-nitrogen content in soil of rainfed wheat

A field experiment was conducted to examine the effects of different depths ofnitrogen (N) fertiliser placements on N accumulation, remobilisation and NO3−-Ncontent in soil of rainfed wheat. Nitrogen was applied on the surface (D1) and inthe 10 cm (D2), 20 cm (D3) and 30 cm (D4) soil layers from 2010 to 2012.Compared with D1 and D2, D3 and D4 treatments obtained significant higher Ndistribution...

Shoot structure, light interception, and distribution of nitrogen in an Abies amabilis canopy.

We studied the effects of variation in shoot structure and needle morphology on the distributions of light and nitrogen within a Pacific silver fir (Abies amabilis (Dougl.) Forbes) canopy. Specifically, we investigated the role of morphological shade acclimation in the determination of resource use efficiency, which is claimed to be optimal when the distribution of nitrogen within the canopy is...
