Irrigation with moderate salinity stress in a hydroponic system improves the inner and outer fruit quality of tomato (Solanum lycopersicon Mill. ‘House Momotaro’). We investigated the effects of 50 mM NaCl in a hydroponic solution on the levels of various metabolites, including soluble sugars, amino acids, and organic acids, and on the expression levels of salinity-responsive genes during fruit...

Two cultivars of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (Jing 411 and Lovrin 10) were used to investigate arsenate (As) uptake and distribution in plants grown in hydroponic culture and in the soil. Results showed that without As addition, Lovrin 10 had higher biomass than Jing 411 in the soil pot experiment; in the hydroponic experiment Lovrin 10 had similar root biomass to and lower shoot biomas...

In the study, use of hydroponic green oats (Arrenatherium elatius) was evaluated in productive behavior guinea pigs for analysis it handled with a completely randomized design (DBCA), also verified an variance (ADEVA) and significant Turkey tests at 5%. The treatments used were: T1: (100:0) =100% cut 0% hydroponic, T2: (75:25) =75% 25% T3: (50:50) =50% 50% T4: (25:75) =25% 75% T5: (0:100) =0% 1...

This study aimed to evaluate cut and hydroponic oats' production nutritional quality (A. elatius) under different planting densities harvest times. A 3x3x3 factorial experimental design was used, which consisted of 3 treatments: T1 (cut oats), T2 (hydroponic oats with nutrient solution) T3 (oats without solution). Each treatment had three replicates. The factors were the sowing (0.150 kg/m2, 0....

Reclaimed wastewater is an important source of irrigation in semiarid and arid zones. Here we report data on carbamazepine (CBZ) uptake by cucumber plants in hydroponic culture and greenhouse experiments using different soil types irrigated with fresh water or reclaimed wastewater. Data obtained from the hydroponic culture experiments suggest that CBZ is mainly translocated by water mass flow, ...

Concerns exist that transgenic crop x weed hybrid populations will be more vigorous and competitive with crops compared with the parental weed species. Hydroponic, glasshouse, and field experiments were performed to evaluate the effects of introgression of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cry1Ac and green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgenes on hybrid productivity and competitiveness in four experim...

The non-destructive evaluation of plant root growth is a challenge in root research. In the present study we aimed to develop electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) for that purpose. Willows (Salix myrsinifolia Salisb.) were grown from cuttings in a hydroponic culture in a growth chamber. Root growth was monitored at regular intervals by a displacement method and compared with the EIS paramete...

Wheat is an important cereal crop worldwide that often suffers from moisture deficits at the reproductive stage. Polyethylene glycol (PEG)-treated hydroponic conditions create negative osmotic potential which is compared with moisture deficit stress. An experiment was conducted in a growth chamber to study the effects of PEG on root hair morphology and associated traits of wheat varieties. Plan...

Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) plants overexpressing ATP sulfurylase (APS transgenics) were previously shown to have higher shoot selenium (Se) levels and enhanced Se tolerance compared to wild type when supplied with selenate in a hydroponic system. Other transgenic Indian mustard overexpressing cystathionine-gamma-synthase (CGS) showed a higher Se volatilization rate, lower shoot Se levels,...

For the first time, phytosiderophore (PS) release of wheat (Triticum aestivum cv Tamaro) grown on a calcareous soil was repeatedly and nondestructively sampled using rhizoboxes combined with a recently developed root exudate collecting tool. As in nutrient solution culture, we observed a distinct diurnal release rhythm; however, the measured PS efflux was c. 50 times lower than PS exudation fro...
