Effect of localized nitrogen availability to soybean half-root systems on photosynthate partitioning to roots and nodules.
Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr. cv Davis) was grown in a split-root growth system designed to maintain control of the root atmosphere. Two experiments were conducted to examine how 80% Ar:20% O(2) (Ar:O(2)) and air (Air) atmospheres affected N assimilation (NH(4)NO(3) and N(2) fixation) and the partitioning of photosynthate to roots and nodules. Application of NH(4)NO(3) to nonnodulated half-ro...
متن کاملEffect of shoot removal on remobilization of carbon and nitrogen during regrowth of nitrogen-fixing alfalfa.
The contribution of carbon and nitrogen reserves to regrowth following shoot removal has been studied in the past. However, important gaps remain in understanding the effect of shoot cutting on nodule performance and its relevance during regrowth. In this study, isotopic labelling was conducted at root and canopy levels with both (15) N2 and (13) C-depleted CO2 on exclusively nitrogen-fixing al...
متن کاملBudgets for carbon and nitrogen in shoot, root, and nodules of pea are drawn up for a 9-d interval in the life
“This paper reports some of the work from my PhD thesis, which was supervised by John Pate. To distinguish the novice from the expert, before joining Pate’s laboratory I had rarely seen legume root nodules. Over the next three years I picked, counted,. weighed, dissected, and chemically analysed a vast number of these strange, pinkish ‘lumps.’ Despite the necessary tedium of such work, the fasc...
متن کاملSymbiosis between Frankia and actinorhizal plants: root nodules of non-legumes.
In actinorhizal symbioses, filamentous nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria of the genus Frankia induce the formation of nodules on the roots of a diverse group of dicotyledonous plants representing trees or woody shrubs, with one exception, Datisca glomerata. In the nodules, Frankia fixes nitrogen and exports the products to the plant cytoplasm, while being supplied with carbon sources by the host. P...
متن کاملInfection and invasion of roots by symbiotic, nitrogen-fixing rhizobia during nodulation of temperate legumes.
Bacteria belonging to the genera Rhizobium, Mesorhizobium, Sinorhizobium, Bradyrhizobium, and Azorhizobium (collectively referred to as rhizobia) grow in the soil as free-living organisms but can also live as nitrogen-fixing symbionts inside root nodule cells of legume plants. The interactions between several rhizobial species and their host plants have become models for this type of nitrogen-f...
