PLoS ONE, 2012 Biogenically released isoprene plays important roles in both tropospheric photochemistry and plant metabolism. We performed a (13)CO(2)-labeling study using proton-transfer-reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) to examine the kinetics of recently ...

Unravelling collembolan life belowground: Stoichiometry, metabolism and release of carbon and nitrogen [PDF]
, 2007 This thesis investigated carbon and nitrogen dynamics of soil dwelling Collembola by using direct measurements and stable isotope additions. In an isotope change experiment, collembolans exchanged between 6 and 10% of carbon and nitrogen in their body ...

Intermediate coupling between aboveground and belowground biomass maximises the persistence of grasslands [PDF]
, 2012 Aboveground and belowground biomass compartments of vegetation fulfil different functions and they are coupled by complex interactions. These compartments exchange water, carbon and nutrients and the belowground biomass compartment has the capacity to ...

Functional 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 ...

Phenotypic plasticity of fine root growth increases plant productivity in pine seedlings [PDF]
, 2004 Background The plastic response of fine roots to a changing environment is suggested to affect the growth and form of a plant. Here we show that the plasticity of fine root growth may increase plant productivity based on an experiment using young ...

Long‐term effects of clear‐cutting forestry on ectomycorrhizal fungi in boreal forest
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Clear‐cutting is detrimental to ectomycorrhizal fungi in a short time perspective, but long‐term effects on species richness and community composition are uncertain. To evaluate ecological sustainability of rotation forestry, we examined to what extent communities similar to those in old forests develop within the time frame of a rotation ...

Partition of Photosynthates and Energy Production in Different Flax Cultivars
Journal of Natural Fibers, 2005 Abstract Two field trials were carried out in the Agricultural Experimental Station of the National Research Centre at Shalakan, Kalubia Governorate during 1999/2000 and 2000/2001 seasons to evaluate seven fibre flax, i.e., Wiko, Nike, Alba, Viking, Texa and Belinka genotypes as well as two dual purpose flax, i.e., Giza 5 and Giza 6 in relation to ...

Straw biomass - potential raw material for ethanol production [PDF]
, 2007 Barley straw was found to be suitable raw material for ethanol production. Straw could be easily pre-treated with steam explosion, hydrolysed to monosaccharides and fermented to ethanol.

The ZmCOP1s–ZmCOL3 Module Enhances Late Flowering, Grain Yield and Grain Quality in Maize
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Flowering time is a key determinant of yield and regional adaptation in crops and is largely controlled by light signalling. In this study, we identified two maize orthologs of Arabidopsis CONSTITUTIVE PHOTOMORPHOGENIC 1 (COP1), designated ZmCOP1a and ZmCOP1b, which activate light signalling and reduce plant height. Loss‐of‐function mutants of
