Brassica alboglabra Bailey plants were first grown under full nutrient solution for 2, 3 and 4 weeks and then were transferred to phosphorus (P)-deprivation solution for 3 weeks (–P3), 2 weeks (–P2) and 1 week (–P1), respectively. The total growth duration was 5 weeks for all plants and the full P plants were grown under complete nutrient solution for 5 weeks. Full P and –P1 plants had similar ...

Globally, phosphorus (P) limits productivity of trees in many forests and plantations especially in highly weathered, acidic or calcareous profiles. Most trees form mycorrhizal associations which are prevalent in the organic and mineral soil horizons. This review critically examines mechanisms that enhance the acquisition of P by tree roots. Mycorrhizal roots have a greater capacity to take up ...

Phosphorus (P) is one of the most important elements required for crop production. The ideal soil pH its absorption by plants about 6.5, but in alkaline and acidic soils, consumed P forms an insoluble complex with calcium, iron, aluminum availability plant decreases. supply needed mainly achieved through chemical fertilizers; however, addition to high price these fertilizers, long run, their de...

In the course of our research, aimed at improving sugar beets phosphorus nutrition, we isolated and characterized Streptomyces sp. strains, endemic from beet fields Beni-Mellal region, which are able to use natural rock phosphate (RP) tricalcium (TCP) as sole sources. Ten isolates yielded a comparable biomass in presence these two insoluble sources, indicating that they were extract similar amo...

Arabidopsis thaliana root hairs grow longer and denser in response to low-phosphorus availability. In addition, plants with the root hair response acquire more phosphorus than mutants that have root hairs that do not respond to phosphorus limiting conditions. The purpose of this experiment was to determine the efficiency of root hairs in phosphorus acquisition at high- and low-phosphorus availa...
