Simultaneous Influx and Efflux of Nitrate during Uptake by Perennial Ryegrass.

چکیده
Experiments with intact plants of Lolium perenne previously grown with (14)NO(3) (-) revealed significant efflux of this isotopic species when the plants were transferred to solutions of highly enriched (15)NO(3) (-). The exuded (14)NO(3) (-) was subsequently reabsorbed when the ambient solutions were not replaced. When they were frequently replaced, continual efflux of the (14)NO(3) (-) was observed. Influx of (15)NO(3) (-) was significantly greater than influx of (14)NO(3) (-) from solutions of identical NO(3) (-) concentration. Transferring plants to (14)NO(3) (-) solutions after a six-hour period in (15)NO(3) (-) resulted in efflux of the latter. Presence of Mg(2+), rather than Ca(2+), in the ambient (15)NO(3) (-) solution resulted in a decidedly increased rate of (14)NO(3) (-) efflux and a slight but significant increase in (15)NO(3) (-) influx. Accordingly, net NO(3) (-) influx was slightly depressed. A model in accordance with these observations is presented; its essential features include a passive bidirectional pathway, an active uptake mechanism, and a pathway for recycling of endogenous NO(3) (-) within unstirred layers from the passive pathway to the active uptake site.

Effect of exogenous and endogenous nitrate concentration on nitrate utilization by dwarf bean.
The effect of the exogenous and endogenous NO(3) (-) concentration on net uptake, influx, and efflux of NO(3) (-) and on nitrate reductase activity (NRA) in roots was studied in Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Witte Krombek. After exposure to NO(3) (-), an apparent induction period of about 6 hours occurred regardless of the exogenous NO(3) (-) level. A double reciprocal plot of the net uptake rate o...

Urinary nitrogen concentration from dairy heifers grazing kale supplemented with either plantain or perennial ryegrass baleage in winter
The effect of feeding two different supplements (perennial ryegrass or plantain baleage) on urinary nitrogen (N) excretion from dairy heifers (8 months old, 180 kg liveweight (LW)) grazing kale was examined in two successive winters. Heifers (n=90 and 80 in Years 1 and 2, respectively) were offered 2.5 kg DM kale/100 kg LW/day and approximately 3 kg DM/heifer/day of either perennial ryegrass or...

Intercropping systems influence yield variables of the component crops, such as harvest index, hundred seed weight, number of reproductive organs and number of seeds, within each reproductive unit. Two experiments were carried out at each of two sites during 1993 and 1994. The first experiment investigated the effects of seeding soybean or lupin alone or in combination with one of three forages...
