Legumes are different: Leaf nitrogen, photosynthesis, and water use efficiency.
Using robust, pairwise comparisons and a global dataset, we show that nitrogen concentration per unit leaf mass for nitrogen-fixing plants (N2FP; mainly legumes plus some actinorhizal species) in nonagricultural ecosystems is universally greater (43-100%) than that for other plants (OP). This difference is maintained across Koppen climate zones and growth forms and strongest in the wet tropics ...
متن کاملOntogenetic Interactions between Photosynthesis and Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation in Legumes.
Photosynthetic data collected from Pisum sativum L. and Phaseolus vulgaris L. plants at different stages of development were related to symbiotic N(2) fixation in the root nodules. The net carbon exchange rate of each leaf varied directly with carboxylation efficiency and inversely with the CO(2) compensation point. Net carbon exchange of the lowest leaves reputed to supply fixed carbon to root...
متن کاملDifference in leaf water use efficiency/photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency of Bt-cotton and its conventional peer
This study is to test the effects of Bt gene introduction on the foliar water/nitrogen use efficiency in cotton. We measured leaf stomatal conductance, photosynthetic rate, and transpiration rate under light saturation condition at different stages of a conventional cultivar (zhongmian no. 16) and its counterpart Bt cultivar (zhongmian no. 30) that were cultured on three levels of fertilization...
متن کاملEffects of different irrigation methods and hormone application on water use efficiency, yield, and leaf biochemical traits in potato
Investigation of different irrigation methods on plants is necessary due to limited water resources and the increasing need for food products. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of sprinkler and drip irrigation systems and hormones on morphological and physiological characteristics of potato. Treatments included sprinkler and drip irrigation systems and hormones (gibbere...
متن کاملMaize response to water, salinity and nitrogen levels: yield-water relation, water-use efficiency and water uptake reduction function
Water, salinity and nitrogen are the major factors affecting maize production in arid and semi-arid areas. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of different water, salinity and nitrogen levels on yield-water relationships, water use, water productivity (WP), water use efficiency (WUE) and water uptake reduction function by maize hybrid SC-704 in a semi-arid area and ...
