Plant Biology: Seedling Emergence through Soil
نویسنده
چکیده
The resistance encountered by a seedling as it pushes through the soil causes inhibition of stem elongation and stimulates stem thickening, facilitating soil penetration. A new study demonstrates that two proteolytic pathways work in double-negative fashion - one targeting the other - to protect transcription factors central to this response.

EDTA effects on seedling emergence and growth of Chenopodium album (L.) in Pb contaminated soil. Mahdieh Ebrahimi*
The study was conducted to investigate the effects of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) on seedling emergence, morphological characteristics, and photosynthetic pigments of Chenopodium album (L.) in lead (Pb) contaminated soil. The Pb contaminated soils were taken from Hirmand River. The soil samples mixed with 0.71 g Li-1 Pb (PbNO3)2 to increase the Pb concentration. EDTA was added to the...

متن کاملActivation of HLS1 by Mechanical Stress via Ethylene-Stabilized EIN3 Is Crucial for Seedling Soil Emergence
The seeds of terrestrial flowering plants often start their life cycle in subterranean darkness. To protect the fragile apical meristematic tissues and cotyledons from mechanical injuries during soil penetration, dicotyledonous seedlings form an elegant apical hook at the top of the hypocotyl. The apical hook has been considered as an adaption structure to the subterranean environment. However,...
متن کاملEffects of overstorey canopy, plant-plant interactions and soil properties on Mediterranean maritime pine seedling dynamics
Seedling emergence, survival and early growth of the Mediterranean conifer P. pinaster were studied under closed canopy and open canopy (gaps) cover conditions in a Mediterranean forest of central Spain during two consecutive years (March 2008 to January 2010). Our main objective was to understand how overstorey structure, shrubs and soil properties influence recruitment in this species. Natura...

Since inference concerning the relative effects of propagule pressure, biotic interactions, site conditions and species traits on the invasibility of plant communities is limited, we carried out a field experiment to study the role of these factors for absolute and relative seedling emergence in three resident and three non-resident confamilial herb species on a nutrient-poor temperate pasture....
