Calcium Nutrition in Plants
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Calcium in plants is quite similar to calcium in people – it is essential for good growth and structure. Calcium does not move easily throughout the plant, once it is incorporated into cell walls, it does not move out again. The health and integrity of the cell membrane is very critical to the survival of the plant and it is well understood that cell membrane cannot be maintained without adequate supply of calcium. If the level of Ca associated with the membrane is reduced the membranes become leaky resulting in the loss of cell compounds and eventually death of the cell and plant tissue.

Investigating of the Effects of Calcium Concentration under Hydroponic Conditions on Quantitative and Qualitative Growth of Lilium ‘Tresor
The Asiatic hybrid lily, a bulbous ornamental plant, has a special position in the horticulture as cut flower. To overcome some problems in nutrition of bulb flowers, the use of hydroponic system and nutrient solution is important in the cultivation of these flowers. The Asiatic Hybrid Lilium bulbs “Tresor” cultivar, used for the current research were planted under 3 different calcium levels in...
متن کاملRole of Calcium in Regulating Potassium-Sodium Homeostasis and Potassium as Nutrient Signal during Abiotic Stress Conditions
Calcium is a ubiquitous cation, which serves as a second messenger for numerous signals and confers specific cellular responses in eukaryotes. Recent studies have established a concept termed ‘Ca signature’ that specifies Ca changes triggered by each signal. However, it is very fascinating how this pervasive cation can translate an infinite number of stimuli into unique stimulus-dependent respo...
متن کاملEvaluation of Iranian Household\'s Diet in terms of Calcium and Iron Density in the Seven Provinces of Iran
Background: Imbalanced diet, as it may cause micronutrient malnutrition has been known as a causal factor for several chronic diseases. Several studies in Iran have shown that some micro-nutrient deficiencies are prevalent and of high concern. Minerals such as calcium and iron can supply physical and mental health as well as survival, and growth development. In this study, Nutrient density anal...
متن کاملDevelopment and Validation of a Food Frequency Questionnaire for Assessing Dietary Calcium in Children
Background and Objectives: This study aimed to develop and validate a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) for measuring calcium intake in 9-13 years old children in Tehran, Iran. Materials and Methods: A 56-item FFQ containing main contributors of calcium in Iranian diet was designed. Criterion validity of the calcium specific FFQ was evaluated through comparing its result with five 24-h recall...
متن کاملAn Arabidopsis mutant that requires increased calcium for potassium nutrition and salt tolerance.
Potassium (K+) nutrition and salt tolerance are key factors controlling plant productivity. However, the mechanisms by which plants regulate K+ nutrition and salt tolerance are poorly understood. We report here the identification of an Arabidopsis thaliana mutant, sos3 (salt-overly-sensitive 3), which is hypersensitive to Na+ and Li+ stresses. The mutation is recessive and is in a nuclear gene ...
