AbstractManagement of phosphorus (P) inputs to agroecosystems is often evaluated by phosphorus use efficiency (PUE), but different calculation approaches may yield discrepancies in estimated PUE values. We evaluated PUE (i) indirectly calculated by difference in crop P uptake between a P‐fertilized versus a P‐unfertilized control (PUEdiff) and (ii ...

Advancing Nuclear Medicine through Discovery, Invention, and Innovation - Contribution of a Physicist and Scientist (Vikram Sarabhai Memorial Oration-2023). [PDF]
The history of radiation science began with Wilhelm Rontgen’s discovery of X-rays in 1895, followed closely by Henri Becquerel’s discovery of radioactivity in 1896.

In this study, effects of phosphorus concentration on aquatic microcosms were evaluated in terms of microbial population dynamics and the photosynthetic activity that is the starting point of the material flux. Microcosms that consist of algae Chlorella vulgaris, bacteria Pseudomonas putida and ciliate Cyclidium glaucoma were incubated using media that

Struvite (NH4MgPO4·6H2O) is a slow-release phosphorus (P) fertilizer hypothesized to reduce nutrient leaching losses relative to highly water-soluble counterparts such as monoammonium phosphate (MAP). We assessed the leaching fate of P from struvite relative to MAP using soil column experiments for two soils representative of the United States Maize ...

Investigation of the Role of Organic Acids on the Phosphorus and Zinc Uptake by Corn in Calcareous Soils by Using 32P and 65Zn Radioisotopes [PDF]
To investigate the effect of oxalic and citric organic acids on the uptake of Phosphorus and Zinc by corn (Zea mays L.), an experiment was conducted by the use of radioactive potassium phosphate and zinc sulfate fertilizers in microcosm and greenhouse ...

A Novel Method to Determine the Carbon Isotopic Composition of Inositol Hexaphosphate (Phytate) in Soil by Gas Chromatography-Combustion-Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Rationale Understanding the decomposition of inositol hexaphosphate (phytate), the dominant form of organic phosphorus (OP) in soil, is vital for studying phosphorus (P) cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. However, the lack of multiple stable P isotopes complicates the study of phytate dynamics under natural conditions and over long periods ...

Effects of Phosphorus Deficiency on Leaf Surface Morphology: Absorption and Translocation of Foliar-Applied Phosphorus in Four Barley Cultivars. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Plant nutrient deficiencies can modify leaf surface properties and may affect the absorption of foliar fertilisers. This study examined how plant P‐deficiency modified the adaxial leaf surface morphology of four barley cultivars and whether these modifications could be linked to quantitative differences in foliar‐applied P absorption.

Autoradiography of Pi Distribution in Barley Seedlings
Phosphorus-32 and Phosphorus-33 are radioisotopes of phosphorus. These isotopes are used to trace ionic phosphorus and phosphorus compounds. This protocol is used to follow the movement of inorganic phosphate (PO43-) from a leaf tip to the rest of the ...

Auto-atténuation de la radiation β dans les sources radioactives épaisses
In measuring β-radioactivity of thick sources, one has to take in account the phenomenon of self-weakening in the source. The present paper shows if the choice of the distance between source and counter on one hand, and of the chemical nature of the ...

Background Changing the phosphorus (P) nutrition leads to changes in plant metabolism. The aim of this study was to investigate how these changes are reflected in the distribution of 33P and the isotopic composition of oxygen associated to P (δ18OP) in ...
