Physiol-Morphological Analysis on Axile Root Growth in Upland Rice

open access: yesPlant Production Science, 2002
The growth directions and elongation rates of axile roots that compose the framework of an upland rice root system are quite varied. The objective of this study was to elucidate the direction of growth of the axile roots relative to their root diameter ...

Effect of drought stress on the genetic architecture of photosynthate allocation and remobilization in pods of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), a key species for food security

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Common bean is the most important staple grain legume for direct human consumption and nutrition. It complements major sources of carbohydrates, including cereals, root crop, or plantain, as a source of dietary proteins.

Light-Dependent Phenomena and Related Molecular Mechanisms in Giant Clam-Dinoflagellate Associations: A Review

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Giant clams can grow to large sizes despite living in oligotrophic waters of the tropical Indo-Pacific as they maintain a mutualistic relationship with symbiotic dinoflagellates (zooxanthellae) and receive photosynthate from them.

Sponges are celebrated heterotrophs but also key primary producers on changing coral reefs

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Trophic interactions and nutrient cycling lay at the heart of ecosystem health and biodiversity. In recent years, our understanding of these drivers has been repeatedly challenged by rapid and unanticipated climatic effects, combined with an increasing awareness that ...

Overexpression of a Maize SPS Gene Improves Yield Characters of Potato under Field Conditions

open access: yesPlant Production Science, 2008
We analyzed the yield characters of field-grown transgenic potato plants (Solanum tuberosum) carrying a maize gene for sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS), the key enzyme in sucrose synthesis. The SPS activity in the leaves of transgenic plants (line Ag1203)

The litter C/N ratio governs the dual role of ectomycorrhizal fungi in decomposition and plant nutrition absorption

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcMF) modulate litter decomposition and facilitate nutrient acquisition through the soil–mycorrhiza–plant pathway. Although litter chemistry has been considered an important factor affecting litter decomposition, how it regulates EcMF‐induced ...

High-Resolution in vivo Imaging of Xylem-Transported CO2 in Leaves Based on Real-Time 11C-Tracing

open access: yesFrontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2019
Plant studies using the short-lived isotope 11C to label photosynthate via atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), have greatly advanced our knowledge about the allocation of recent photosynthate from leaves to sinks.
