Nonstructural carbohydrate supplementation of yearling heifers and range beef cows.
A digestion study with 28 yearling heifers (428 +/- 9.9 kg; Exp. 1) and a 2-yr winter grazing trial with 60 crossbred cows (552 +/- 6.9 kg; Exp. 2) were used to determine the effects of level of nonstructural carbohydrate (NSC) supplementation on intake and digestibility of low-quality forage. Treatments were as follows: 1) control, no supplement; 2) 0.32 kg of NSC (1.8 kg/d of soybean hulls an...
متن کاملDrought stress, growth and nonstructural carbohydrate dynamics of pine trees in a semi-arid forest.
In trees exposed to prolonged drought, both carbon uptake (C source) and growth (C sink) typically decrease. This correlation raises two important questions: (i) to what degree is tree growth limited by C availability; and (ii) is growth limited by concurrent C storage (e.g., as nonstructural carbohydrates, NSC)? To test the relationships between drought, growth and C reserves, we monitored the...
متن کاملDrought and shade deplete nonstructural carbohydrate reserves in seedlings of five temperate tree species
Plants that store nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC) may rely on carbon reserves to survive carbon-limiting stress, assuming that reserves can be mobilized. We asked whether carbon reserves decrease in resource stressed seedlings, and if NSC allocation is related to species' relative stress tolerances. We tested the effects of stress (shade, drought, and defoliation) on NSC in seedlings of five ...
متن کاملRapid Analysis of Nonstructural Carbohydrate Components in Grass Forage Using Microplate Enzymatic Assays
Measurements of nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC) in plant tissues are important to estimate plant organ resources available for plant growth and stress tolerance or for feed value to grazing animals. A popular commercially available assay kit used to detect glucose with a lightsensitive dye reaction was recently discontinued and replaced by a test-tube-scale glucose kit (GAHK-20) that assays g...
متن کاملEffects of Boron Deficiency on Leaf Photosynthesis and Nonstructural Carbohydrate Concentrations of Cotton during Early Growth
In crop growth and development, boron (B) is an essential trace element. Boron deficiency is common in highly leached, acidic sandy soils of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) growing regions in the world. Boron is particularly important in pollen germination and pollen tube growth resulting in successful fruit setting. Therefore, B deficiency during flowering and fruiting may significantly reduce ...
