Within-Leaf Nitrogen Allocation in Adaptation to Low Nitrogen Supply in Maize during Grain-Filling Stage
Nitrogen (N) plays a vital role in photosynthesis and crop productivity. Maize plants may be able to increase physiological N utilization efficiency (NUtE) under low-N stress by increasing photosynthetic rate (P n) per unit leaf N, that is, photosynthetic N-use efficiency (PNUE). In this study, we analyzed the relationship between PNUE and N allocation in maize ear-leaves during the grain-filli...
متن کاملOptimal Leaf-to-Root Ratio and Leaf Nitrogen Content Determined by Light and Nitrogen Availabilities
Plants exhibit higher leaf-to-root ratios (L/R) and lower leaf nitrogen content (N(area)) in low-light than in high-light environments, but an ecological significance of this trait has not been explained from a whole-plant perspective. This study aimed to theoretically and experimentally demonstrate whether these observed L/R and N(area) are explained as optimal biomass allocation that maximize...
متن کاملAllocation of nitrogen within the crown during leaf expansion in Quercus serrata saplings.
Early season leaf growth requires a large amount of nitrogen, and the amount of N provided for new leaf development has been well tested. Although shoot position within the crown strongly influences leaf properties, little is known about absorbed and remobilized nitrogen allocation in the tree crown. Thus, we investigated differences in the allocation of recently absorbed nitrogen in the tree c...
متن کاملDistribution 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...
متن کاملSugarcane responses to irrigation and nitrogen in subtropical Iran
Limited information is available on water and nitrogen (N) management of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) in Khuzestan, southwestern Iran, where this crop is currently and extensively grown under heavy irrigation and N fertilization. Therefore, a field experiment was conducted from September 2000 to March 2002 at the Research Department of Karoon Agro-industry in Khuzestan to determine the ...
