Effects of Zn Deficiency and Bicarbonate on the Growth and Photosynthetic Characteristics of Four Plant Species
نویسندگان
چکیده
Calcareous soils are characterized by low nutrient contents, high bicarbonate (HCO3-) content, and high alkalinity. The effects of HCO3- addition under zinc-sufficient (+Zn) and zinc-deficient (-Zn) conditions on the growth and photosynthetic characteristics of seedlings of two Moraceae species (Broussonetia papyrifera and Morus alba) and two Brassicaceae species (Orychophragmus violaceus and Brassica napus) were investigated. These four species were hydroponically grown in nutrient solution with 0 mM Zn (-Zn) or 0.02 mM Zn (+Zn) and 0 mM or 10 mM HCO3-. The photosynthetic response to HCO3- treatment, Zn deficiency, or both varied according to plant species. Of the four species, Broussonetia papyrifera showed the best adaptability to Zn deficiency for both the 0 mM and 10 mM HCO3- treatments due to its strong growth and minimal inhibition of photosynthesis and photosystem II (PS II). Brassica napus was sensitive to Zn deficiency, HCO3- treatment, or both as evidenced by the considerable inhibition of photosynthesis and high PS II activity. The results indicated different responses of various plant species to Zn deficiency and excess HCO3-. Broussonetia papyrifera was shown to have potential as a pioneer species in karst regions.

Zinc is one of micronutrients which reduces toxicity of sodium in plants and plays an important role in helping to the survival of crop plant under salinity stress. The research was conducted in a factorial experiment in completely randomized design with three replications in arak university in 1391 autumn. In this study, the effects of four salinity levels (0, 45, 90 and 120 mM NaCl) and three...
متن کاملGrowth characteristics, photosynthetic pigments content and phenolic compounds content in the almond (A. scoparia and A. eburnea) exposed to static magnetic field
Despite the numerous studies on the effect of the magnetic field on plants, the exact mechanism of these effects has not yet been determined. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of magnetic field on growth and photosynthetic characteristics of two almond species (Amygdalus scoparia and A. eburnea). For this purpose, 21-day-old almond plants were affected by 10 mT static magnetic fie...
