Study on the time effect of shear strength of alfalfa-loess composite

Meitan kexue jishu, 2023
The alfalfa-loess composite, obtained by artificial planting in PVC tubes, was selected as the research object. Through triaxial compression tests, the time effect of shear strength change of alfalfa-loess composite was analyzed, and the effects of ...

Groundwater Depths Affect Phosphorus and Potassium Resorption but Not Their Utilization in a Desert Phreatophyte in Its Hyper-Arid Environment

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Nutrients are vital for plant subsistence and growth in nutrient-poor and arid ecosystems. The deep roots of phreatophytic plants are necessary to access groundwater, which is the major source of nutrients for phreatophytes in an arid desert ecosystem ...

P-ring: The conserved nature of phosphorus enriched cells in seedling roots of distantly related species

Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2023
Plants require sunlight, carbon dioxide, water and mineral ions for their growth and development. Roots in vascular plants sequester water and ions from soil and transport them to the aboveground parts of the plant.

Intercropping of Leguminous and Non-Leguminous Desert Plant Species Does Not Facilitate Phosphorus Mineralization and Plant Nutrition

Cells, 2022
More efficient use of soil resources, such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), can improve plant community resistance and resilience against drought in arid and semi-arid lands.

Soil profile N2O efflux from a cotton field in arid Northwestern China in response to irrigation and nitrogen management

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
It remains uncertain how different N inputs as synthetic fertilizer or manure and irrigation types affect nitrous oxide (N2O) production and effluxes in the subsurface.

Effect of Pruning Young Branches on Fruit and Seed Set in Cassava

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Flowering in cassava is closely linked with branching. Early-flowering genotypes branch low and abundantly. Although farmers prefer late flowering genotypes because of their erect plant architecture, their usefulness as progenitors in breeding is limited

Decoding phenotypic signatures of Cylas formicarius Fab. resistance in a global sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas [L.] Lam.) germplasm collection

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionSweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas [L.] Lam.) is a critical global food crop that suffers devastating yield losses from the sweetpotato weevil (Cylas formicarius), especially in tropical regions where chemical control is often impractical. Breeding

Magnitude and determinants of plant root hydraulic redistribution: A global synthesis analysis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Plant root hydraulic redistribution (HR) has been widely recognized as a phenomenon that helps alleviate vegetation drought stress. However, a systematic assessment of the magnitude of HR and its drivers at the global scale are lacking.

Similar effects as shade tolerance induced by dust accumulation and size penetration of particulates on cotton leaves

BMC Plant Biology, 2021
Background Dust accumulation covers the leaf’s surface and influences foliar physiological activity. Two independent experiments were carried out to instigate the foliar responses to dust accumulation and the penetration limitation of small dust ...
