Differences in total root length, surface and volume density, average root diameter, and root tips and fork densities were analyzed using a split-plot design with genotypes as main plots and depth as subplot. This is a conservative statistical analysis because it reduces the df for genotype from 3 to 1. Therefore, we also compared the two …

Interestingly, plants can be divided into four categories based on the quantity of B required: 1) Lactifers, contain the highest amount of B ; 2) Cole crops have the second highest B concentrations; 3) Legumes and the lily family of monocots are in the third group and 4) Graminaceous plants contain the least amount of B . When …

The BEST program also sponsored a phytoremediation workshop for BEST investigators and students that was attended by more than 60 participants. Additional workshops are planned for the coming year. In this report, the research is organized by subject area, and two-page briefs are presented for each of 28 BEST projects. The projects presented provide a …
Arabidopsis is known to synthesize four GDP-linked sugars: GDP-L-fucose, GDP-L-galactose, GDP-D-glucose and GDP-D-mannose. GDP-mannose for the glycosylation of glycosylinositolphosphorylceramides is transported into the Golgi by GONST1 , whereas GDP-fucose is transported by GONST4, which has been renamed GDPfucose transporter1 . No Golgi-localized GDP-L-galactose transporters have been identified to date. GDP-L-galactose is synthesized from GDP-mannose in the cytosol …
Ideally, the internal levee should maintain a factor of safety of above 1.4, and as such, the maximum back flooding of the system will be will be MSL + 6 ft. Table 3 shows that for different river water levels increasing the back flood water levels results in a increase in the the factor of …

However, only photosynthesis rates during leaf senescence of plant pre-cultured at low N supply reflected leaf senescence score during reproductive growth and N efficiency in the field experiments. Therefore, cultivar differences in leaf senescence during reproductive growth can only partly be reproduced in a short-term nutrient-solution experiment. Several differences between vegetative and reproductive growth might influence the …
This centrality-driven division between frontal and temporal semantic processing regions can be seen in the BOLD signal, with left IFG and left anterior MTG initially responding generally to the switch from non-word to word stimulus, before demonstrating clear correlation with central and peripheral HRF prediction peaks, respectively . While both temporal and frontal regions are …
Plants with compromised SA synthesis or signaling have greatly diminished defenses against pathogens, as is the case with SA-defificient transgenic plants expressing a bacterial salicylate hydroxylase or ICS mutants like sid2 , and mutants in downstream targets of SA such as npr1 . SAR induction by biotic agents coincides with increases in SA levels and a …
We discuss nine in vivo studies that have used proteomics to explore the alterations in plants at the protein level, in response to metal-based NPs, including nAg, nCeO2, nAl, nAl2O3, nFe, nZnO and CdS QDs . Impact of bare or surface-functionalized nAg on plant proteomes have been studied in several plants, including arugula, wheat, rice, …

In a stylized story of green revolutions, improvements in agricultural technology are achieved through the introduction of improved land management techniques or improved inputs, including germplasm and fertilizer, all of which boost yields and labor productivity . If food is relatively non-tradable beyond local markets, then increased staple food production leads to reduced food prices, …
