Nutrient acquisition in four Mediterranean gorgonian species
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2013Carbon and nitrogen isotope abundance values (δ 13 C and δ 15 N, respectively) were measured for the first time in the soft tissue, axial skeleton, and spicules of 4 Mediter- ranean gorgonians, 3 asymbiotic (Leptogorgia sarmentosa, Paramuricea clavata, and Eunicella verrucosa) and 1 symbiotic with autotrophic dinoflagellates (Eunicella singularis). The

Root Architecture and Nutrient Acquisition
2005Excavation of plants from soil readily reveals that the shape of root systems is quite complex. The elegant drawings of Kutschera (e.g., Fig. 7.1; Kutschera and Lichtenegger 1992), collected painstakingly over many years of fieldwork, provide beautiful illustrations of the complexity and diversity of the spatial configuration of root systems, or ‘root ...

Designer crops: optimal root system architecture for nutrient acquisition
Trends in Biotechnology, 2014Plant root systems are highly plastic in response to environmental stimuli. Improved nutrient acquisition can increase fertilizer use efficiency and is critical for crop production. Recent analyses of field-grown crops highlighted the importance of root system architecture (RSA) in nutrient acquisition. This indicated that it is feasible in practice to

Endophyte-Promoted Nutrient Acquisition: Phosphorus and Iron
2017This chapter reviews the literature relating to the role of mutualistic fungal and bacterial endophytes in the acquisition of phosphorus (P) and iron (Fe) with respect to improving plant growth and health. Although the review has a focus on endophytes there is a continuum here at many levels with respect to the rhizosphere and rhizosphere ...

Mineral nutrient acquisition and retention by bryophytes
Journal of Bryology, 1992AbstractRecent information on mineral nutrient acquisition and retention is reviewed in relation to the suspected importance of bryophytes in mineral relations of ecosystems. Nutrient inputs from various sources are discussed and the importance of determining the cellular locations of elements in experimental studies is emphasized.

Phytometallophore-Mediated Nutrient Acquisition by Plants
2014Soils in many agricultural areas are alkaline and have high amounts of calcium carbonate, resulting in low availability of micronutrients. Plant nutrient uptake is influenced by root architecture, the presence of mycorrhizal fungi, proton exudation from roots, and release of phytometallophores. Some genotypes are able to release phytometallophores from

The Acquisition and Consumption of Host Nutrients
2019In this chapter, we discuss the basic concept that pathogenic bacteria must have a source of energy and other nutrients to power their growth, replication, and virulence during host infection. Since the host itself harbors nearly everything to fulfill these basic needs, bacteria have evolved clever ways to acquire these essential nutrients from its ...
