Low-P solution culture can be used for screening root growth vigor in soil for high nutrient uptake of spring wheat varieties

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2018
Purpose: Root and root hairs of plants have been intensively studied in solution culture; however, correlation of such measurements in solution culture with development in soil is poorly understood.

Electron transfer between complexes III and IV in S. cerevisiae mitochondrial membranes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation in S. cerevisiae mitoplasts is limited by complex IV catalytic capacity, rather than two‐dimensional cytochrome c diffusion. At physiological cytochrome c : supercomplex ratios at salinity equivalent to that of 20 mm monovalent salt, activity is maximized, indicating that this low ionic strength accurately mimics

Alternate partial root-zone irrigation with high irrigation frequency improves root growth and reduces unproductive water loss by apple trees in arid north-west China [PDF]

Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering, 2018
Alternate partial root-zone irrigation (APRI) can improve water use efficiency in arid areas. However, the effectiveness and outcomes of different frequencies of APRI on water uptake capacity and physiological water use have not been reported. A two-year

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

The relationship between root length density and yield in rice plants.

Japanese Journal of Crop Science, 1988
The relationship between mass or distribution of rice roots and yield were studied. Materials were rice plants cultivated in an experimental paddy field under various conditions in relation to the amount of nitrogen fertilizer and planting density.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Root Trait Variability in Coffea canephora Genotypes and Its Relation to Plant Height and Crop Yield

Agronomy, 2020
Coffee breeding based on root traits is important to identify productive genotypes under adverse environmental conditions. This study assessed the diversity of root traits in Coffea canephora and its correlation with plant height and crop yield ...

PARK(ing) time–How park deficiency affects the biological clock in a Drosophila model of Parkinson's disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Drosophila park mutants serve as a model for Parkinson's disease. We used this strain to investigate the connection between oxidative stress and the circadian clock mechanism. We showed that increased oxidative stress affects the physiology of pacemaker cells, disrupting their daily structural plasticity. Lack of rhythmic signaling from pacemaker cells

An improved maize normalized root length density model based on water consumption and nitrogen application

Agricultural Water Management
Understanding maize root distribution is critical for determining the root water uptake zone and improving water and nitrogen (W–N) management. However, direct measurement of root length density (RLD) is labor-intensive and time-consuming, and most ...

Soil Moisture Determines Horizontal and Vertical Root Extension in the Perennial Grass Lolium perenne L. Growing in Karst Soil

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Karst regions are characterized by heterogeneous soil habitats, with shallow wide soil (SW) on hilly slopes and deep narrow soil (DN) in rocky trenches.
