Understanding FBA Solutions under Multiple Nutrient Limitations [PDF]
Genome-scale stoichiometric modeling methods, in particular Flux Balance Analysis (FBA) and variations thereof, are widely used to investigate cell metabolism and to optimize biotechnological processes. Given (1) a metabolic network, which can be reconstructed from an organism’s genome sequence, and (2) constraints on reaction rates, which may be based

Nutrient solutions for Arabidopsis thaliana: a study on nutrient solution composition in hydroponics systems [PDF]
Abstract Background There is little information on the effect of nutrient solutions composition on Arabidopsis growth. Therefore, we compared growth performance of Arabidopsis thaliana (Col-0) grown on the most commonly used nutrient solutions in deep water culture: Hoagland and Arnon, Murashige and Skoog, Tocquin, Hermans, and Conn.

Nutrients uptake by silver vase bromeliad roots
The bromeliads are desirable vase plants because of the flowering bract and the usually large, bold, colored and exotic format of the leaves that forms a cistern.

Nutrient and inorganic solute (Na+ and Cl-) content in green onion plants under hydroponic cultivation using brackish water [PDF]
Cultivation using brackish waters can result in nutritional and metabolic imbalances in several plant species, consequently reducing the production of dry matter (DM) and accumulation of toxic ions (Na+ and/or Cl-) in plants.

Sustainable Irrigation Management of Ornamental Cordyline Fruticosa “Red Edge” Plants with Saline Water [PDF]
The aim of this work was to analyze the influence of the salinity of the nutrient solution on the transpiration and growth of Cordyline fruticosa var. “Red Edge” plants. A specific irrigation management model was calibrated with the experimental data. An

Determination of micro nutrients in substrates by water extraction and interpretation of the analytical data [PDF]
In 1974 the 1:1½ volume extract was published (Sonneveld et al., 1974) as a water extraction method for the determination of available nutrient elements and of the salinity status of peaty substrates.

Influence of allochtonous nutrients delivered by colonial seabirds on soil collembolan communities on Spitsbergen [PDF]
Despite a widespread recognition of the role of seabird colonies in the fertilization of nutrient-poor polar terrestrial ecosystems, qualitative and quantitative data documenting any consequential influence on soil invertebrate communities are still ...

A novel method of supplying nutrients permits predictable shoot growth and root: shoot ratios of pre-transplant bedding plants [PDF]
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Growth of bedding plants, in small peat plugs, relies on nutrients in the irrigation solution. The object of the study was to find a way of modifying the nutrient supply so that good-quality seedlings can be grown rapidly and yet ...
