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 ...

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.

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.

Plant roots increase both decomposition and stable organic matter formation in boreal forest soil

Nature Communications, 2019
Boreal forests are ecosystems with low nitrogen (N) availability that store globally significant amounts of carbon (C), mainly in plant biomass and soil organic matter (SOM).

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 ...

Medicago sativa and Medicago truncatula Show Contrasting Root Metabolic Responses to Drought

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Drought is an environmental stressor that affects crop yield worldwide. Understanding plant physiological responses to stress conditions is needed to secure food in future climate conditions.

Effects of Salinity and Abscisic Acid on Lipid Transfer Protein Accumulation, Suberin Deposition and Hydraulic Conductance in Pea Roots

Membranes, 2021
Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) participate in many important physiological processes in plants, including adaptation to stressors, e.g., salinity. Here we address the mechanism of this protective action of LTPs by studying the interaction between LTPs ...

Mechanisms and regulation of aluminum-induced secretion of organic acid anions from plant roots

Journal of Zhejiang University SCIENCE B, 2019
Aluminum (Al) is the most abundant metal element in the earth’s crust. On acid soils, at pH 5.5 or lower, part of insoluble Al-containing minerals become solubilized into soil solution, with resultant highly toxic effects on plant growth and development.
