Effects of Boron Deficiency on Leaf Photosynthesis and Nonstructural Carbohydrate Concentrations of Cotton during Early Growth
نویسندگان
چکیده
In crop growth and development, boron (B) is an essential trace element. Boron deficiency is common in highly leached, acidic sandy soils of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) growing regions in the world. Boron is particularly important in pollen germination and pollen tube growth resulting in successful fruit setting. Therefore, B deficiency during flowering and fruiting may significantly reduce boll retention, resulting in a low yield. A better understanding of the effect of B deficiency during the early growth of cotton on leaf photosynthesis and physiological characters can help us to make cotton production recommendation and to improve yield.

The effects of 2 concentrations of kinetin, i.e., 2 and 4 mM together with 2 levels of drought stress, i.e., moderate (35% soil saturation capacity) and severe (20% soil saturation capacity) were investigated on the growth parameters of tomato including fresh and dry leaf weight, leaf number, leaf surface area, fruit number, fruit weight, and enzymatic antioxidants. To this end, first tomato pl...

In modern cotton production systems, potassium (K) deficiency is one of the major factors limiting lint yield and affecting fiber quality. Although influence of K deficiency on cotton plant physiology and growth and lint yield responses to K fertilizer applications have received intensive studies, it is not clear whether elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration [CO2] affects plant requirements an...

Previous evidence indicates that changes in well-defined phases of dormancy in underground adventitious buds of leafy spurge in late summer and autumn are regulated by complex sensing and signaling pathways involving aboveground sugar signals. However, little information exists concerning seasonal photosynthesis and carbohydrate partitioning of leafy spurge, although such information would help...
