Plant Growth Environments with Programmable Relative Humidity and Homogeneous Nutrient Availability.
We describe the design, characterization, and use of "programmable", sterile growth environments for individual (or small sets of) plants. The specific relative humidities and nutrient availability experienced by the plant is established (RH between 15% and 95%; nutrient concentration as desired) during the setup of the growth environment, which takes about 5 minutes and <1$ in disposable cost....
متن کاملPlant invasion is associated with higher plant-soil nutrient concentrations in nutrient-poor environments.
Plant invasion is an emerging driver of global change worldwide. We aimed to disentangle its impacts on plant-soil nutrient concentrations. We conducted a meta-analysis of 215 peer-reviewed articles and 1233 observations. Invasive plant species had globally higher N and P concentrations in photosynthetic tissues but not in foliar litter, in comparison with their native competitors. Invasive pla...
متن کاملHumidity assay for studying plant-pathogen interactions in miniature controlled discrete humidity environments with good throughput.
This paper reports a highly economical and accessible approach to generate different discrete relative humidity conditions in spatially separated wells of a modified multi-well plate for humidity assay of plant-pathogen interactions with good throughput. We demonstrated that a discrete humidity gradient could be formed within a few minutes and maintained over a period of a few days inside the d...
متن کاملIndirect health effects of relative humidity in indoor environments.
A review of the health effects of relative humidity in indoor environments suggests that relative humidity can affect the incidence of respiratory infections and allergies. Experimental studies on airborne-transmitted infectious bacteria and viruses have shown that the survival or infectivity of these organisms is minimized by exposure to relative humidities between 40 and 70%. Nine epidemiolog...
متن کاملNitrate: nutrient and signal for plant growth.
The mineral nutrient needed in greatest abundance by plants is nitrogen. Plants, however, must compete for nitrogen in the soil with abiotic and biotic processes such as erosion, leaching, and microbial consumption. Soil nitrogen is also lost when crops are harvested and plant material is removed from the soil. To be competitive, plants have evolved several mechanisms to acquire nitrogen at low...
