Few studies of the inoculation of cereal crops with N2-fixing bacteria have included more than one or two plant genotypes. In a recent study performed in Argentina using 12 different maize genotypes, it was found in 2 consecutive field experiments that several of them responded consistently, either negatively or positively, to inoculation with a mixture of strains of Azospirillum spp. The present study in post was performed to investigate the effect of inoculation of individual strains (and a mixture) of Azospirillum spp., and their nitrate reductase negative (NR-) mutants, on the growth of four of these maize genotypes. Two of these genotypes were grown in 15N-labelled soil with the aim of quantifying any contributions of biological N2 fixation. Two genotypes (Morgan 318 and Dekalb 4D-70) produced similar increases in grain yield when they were inoculated with a mixture of Azospirillum spp. strains or fertilized with the equivalent of 100 kg N ha-1. The other genotypes (Dekalb 2F-11 and CMS 22) showed little response to inoculation or N fertilization. The Morgan 318 and Dekalb 4D-70 genotypes showed a large increase in total N accumulation, suggesting that the response was due to increased N acquisition, but not due to bacterial nitrate reductase as the NR- mutants generally caused plant responses similar to those of the parent strains. Despite problems with the stabilization of the 15N enrichment in the soil, the 15N isotope dilution results indicated that there were very significant biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) contributions to the Dekalb 4D-70 and CMS 22 maize genotypes.Dedicated to Professor J.C.G.

A plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium (Azospirillum brasilense Sp7) and a bio-control fungus, which can solubilize insoluble phosphorus (Trichoderma harzianum Rifai 1295-22), were evaluated for their single and combined effects on dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grown in soil. A pot experiment with bean and a field experiment with both bean and wheat were established. In contrast to single inoculation of Trichoderma, the single inoculation of Azospirillum and the double inoculation did not significantly (P >0.05) increase nodule numbers and nodule mass at 45 days after planting in pot grown beans. However, the Azospirillum inoculation with supplementary phosphorus significantly (P <0.05) increased nodule mass. There were no significant (P >0.05) differences among the inoculation treatments for plant dry weight, total plant nitrogen, and total plant phosphorus at 45 days after planting in both pot and field experiments with bean. However, the combined inoculation and rock phosphate application at 1 Mg ha–1 significantly (P <0.05) increased bean seed yield, total seed nitrogen and phosphorus in the bean field trial. This treatment more than doubled the mentioned properties compared to the control. The microbial inoculations, with the exception of the combined inoculation, significantly (P <0.05) increased total seed nitrogen, but never affected seed yield in the wheat field trial (P >0.05). The combined inoculation improves many plant and yield parameters and, therefore, has some advantages over single inoculation provided that rock phosphate was supplied at an amount not exceeding 1 Mg ha–1. Higher rock phosphate application rates decreased many plant and yield parameters in our study.This work was carried out at Gaziosmanpaa University, Tokat, Turkey.  相似文献

Summary Microscopic observations of the root system of pearl millet (Pennisetum americanum (L.) Leeke) var. BJ 104 after surface sterilization and incubation in phosphate malate triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) revealed extensive colonization by Azospirillum spp. when plants were grown in sterile, partially sterile and field conditions as evidenced by the TTC-reducing property of active cells of the bacterium. Quantitative studies showed the need to standardize the techniques further to ensure more precise monitoring of the bacteria in the rhizosphere, as large numbers of soil bacteria were found capable of growth on specific media, thus interfering with the plate counts. Seed inoculation with A. brasilense increased the mean grain yield of pearl millet under different agroclimatic conditions in India. The mean increase in grain yield due to inoculation over uninoculated controls was also noticed with graded levels of fertilizer nitrogen (urea). Inoculation alone contributed to increased nitrogen uptake of plants with varying levels of fertilizer nitrogen application under sandy loam soil conditions (pH 7.3). The effects of inoculation were more prominent under lower levels of nitrogen than at the higher levels. The root biomass under field conditions was increased with Azospirillum spp. inoculation at 10 and 20 kg N/ha than their corresponding uninoculated controls.  相似文献

Summary Eight commercial Israeli spring wheat cultivars (six Triticum aestivum and two T. turgidum) grown with 40 and 120 kg N/ha were tested for responses to inoculation with Azospirillum brasilense. At the low level of N fertilization (40 kg/ha), five cultivars showed significant increases in plant dry weight measured at the milky ripe stage; however, by maturation only the cultivar Miriam showed a significant increase in grain yield. Two cultivars, which had shown a positive inoculation effect at the earlier stages, had a significant decrease in grain yield. No significant effect of inoculation was found at the high N level. To confirm those results, four wheat (T. aestivum) cultivars were tested separately over 4 years in 4 different locations under varying N levels. Only Miriam showed a consistently positive effect of Azospirillum inoculation on grain yield. Inoculation increased the number of roots per plant on Miriam compared with uninoculated plants. This effect was found at all N levels. Nutrient (N, P and K) accumulation and number of fertile tillers per unit area were also enhanced by Azospirillum, but these parameters were greatly affected by the level of applied N. It is suggested that the positive response of the spring wheat cultivar Miriam to Azospirillum inoculation is due to its capacity to escape water stresses at the end of the growth season.  相似文献

The present study deals with the isolation and characterization of Azospirillum strains isolated from roots and rhizosphere soil of wheat (at tillering and anthesis stages) plants grown under different moisture regimes in the field and in pots. The survival of Azospirillum isolates from plants of irrigated field and those from well-watered pots was higher than that of Azospirillum strains isolated from roots and rhizosphere soils of plants grown under arid and semiarid (14–8% soil moisture) field conditions and under water-stressed (8% soil moisture) conditions in pots. On the basis of carbon/nitrogen source utilization, the Azospirillum strains isolated from wheat under field and pot conditions were grouped in three groups. The unweighted pair group method with arithmetic means cluster analysis based on random amplification of polymorphic DNA showed that two groups of Azospirillum were similar. The strains isolated from plants (at tillering stage) grown under low moisture conditions either in pots or in field were genetically similar to strains isolated from plants grown under well-watered conditions in both pots and field. Inoculation of wheat with isolates from water-stressed plants induced tolerance to water stress in inoculated plants. Isolates from water-stressed conditions exhibited lower production of indole acetic acid, gibberellic acid, and trans zeatin riboside but a higher production of abscisic acid.  相似文献

Two field experiments were carried out in Northern Argentina, during the 1989–1990 and 1990–1991 growing seasons, on Argentinian and Brazilian maize genotypes. The inoculant consisted of a mixture of four Azospirillum brasilense strain isolated from surface-sterilized maize roots in Argentina and three A. lipoferum strains isolated from surface-sterilized maize or sorghum roots in Brazil. Establishment of the inoculated strains was confirmed by the antibiotic resistance of the strains in the highest dilution vials. In all treatments, numbers of Azospirillum spp. were increased and the inoculated strains were found in the highest dilutions. While grain yields of the different genotypes varied between 1700 and 7300 kg ha-1, total N accumulation was much less variable. Significant inoculation effects on total N accumulation and on grain yields were consistently negative with one Argentinian genotype and positive with four Argentinian and two Brazilian genotypes. Significant inoculation effects on leaf nitrate reductase activity at the flowering stage, observed in the range-55% to +176%, indicated the presence of various interactions between the plant NO inf3 sup- metabolism and Azospirillum spp. Three Brazilian and one Argentinian maize genotype showed significant decreases in leaf nitrate reductase due to inoculation while four Argentinian genotypes showed significant increases in leaf nitrate reductase activity. The results of the present study, were consistent over the two field experiments and strongly indicate that more detailed plant genotype-Azospirillum spp. strain interaction studies, taking the entire N metabolism in the plant into account, are needed to allow better inoculation results of cereal crops.  相似文献

Scientific evidence recognizes that the operation of a terrestrial ecosystem depends on soil microbial activity. Some Azospirillum strains produce plant growth regulators, increase the development of roots, and fix atmospheric nitrogen (N2). Some Pseudomonas strains are capable of producing cytokinins and solubilizing organic phosphorus. A sustainability analysis requires a detailed knowledge of the interrelationships between the microorganisms added to the system and those present in the soil. This study examines the effect of three commercial inoculants Azospirillum brasilense Az1 and Az2 as well as Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf on biomass production, grain yield and rhizosphere colonization of wheat, combined with two levels of N-addition. Plate counts of rhizosphere soil showed that the inoculation and N-addition did not affect the number of P. fluorescens, whereas it significantly affected the number of Azospirillum. N-addition and inoculation did not change the communities of actinomycetes and bacteria but they changed the number of fungi at the rhizosphere of wheat plants. Community-level physiological profiles of carbon-source utilization of rhizosphere soil microbial communities were changed after inoculation with Az1, Az2 and Pf depending on the phenological stage of the crop. Although no significant responses were observed, in average, PGPB inoculation increased aerial biomass by 12%, root biomass by 40% and grain yield by 16%. These increases represent important earnings for the farmer and they may help to obtain a greater sustainability of the agroecosystems.  相似文献

Root-induced changes in the rhizosphere may affect mineral nutrition of plants in various ways. Examples for this are changes in rhizosphere pH in response to the source of nitrogen (NH4-N versus NO3-N), and iron and phosphorus deficiency. These pH changes can readily be demonstrated by infiltration of the soil with agar containing a pH indicator. The rhizosphere pH may be as much as 2 units higher or lower than the pH of the bulk soil. Also along the roots distinct differences in rhizosphere pH exist. In response to iron deficiency most plant species in their apical root zones increase the rate of H+ net excretion (acidification), the reducing capacity, the rate of FeIII reduction and iron uptake. Also manganese reduction and uptake is increased several-fold, leading to high manganese concentrations in iron deficient plants. Low-molecular-weight root exudates may enhance mobilization of mineral nutrients in the rhizosphere. In response to iron deficiency, roots of grass species release non-proteinogenic amino acids (?phytosiderophores”?) which dissolve inorganic iron compounds by chelation of FeIII and also mediate the plasma membrane transport of this chelated iron into the roots. A particular mechanism of mobilization of phosphorus in the rhizosphere exists in white lupin (Lupinus albus L.). In this species, phosphorus deficiency induces the formation of so-called proteoid roots. In these root zones sparingly soluble iron and aluminium phosphates are mobilized by the exudation of chelating substances (probably citrate), net excretion of H+ and increase in the reducing capacity. In mixed culture with white lupin, phosphorus uptake per unit root length of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plants from a soil low in available P is increased, indicating that wheat can take up phosphorus mobilized in the proteoid root zones of lupin. At the rhizoplane and in the root (root homogenates) of several plant species grown in different soils, of the total number of bacteria less than 1 % are N2-fixing (diazotrophe) bacteria, mainly Enterobacter and Klebsiella. The proportion of the diazotroph bacteria is higher in the rhizosphere soil. This discrimination of diazotroph bacteria in the rhizosphere is increased with foliar application of combined nitrogen. Inoculation with the diazotroph bacteria Azospirillum increases root length and enhances formation of lateral roots and root hairs similarly as does application of auxin (IAA). Thus rhizosphere bacteria such as Azospirillum may affect mineral nutrition and plant growth indirectly rather than by supply of nitrogen.  相似文献

It is important to develop integrated fertilization strategies for various crops that enhance the competitive ability of the crop, maximize crop production and reduce the risk of nonpoint source pollution from fertilizers. In order to study the effects of mineral nitrogen fertilization and biofertilizer inoculation on yield and some physiological traits of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) under different levels of sulfur fertilizer, field experiments in factorial scheme based on randomized complete block design were conducted with three replications in 2012 and 2013. Experimental factors were: (1) four levels of chemical nitrogen fertilizer (0, 100, 150 and 200 kg N ha?1), (2) two levels of biofertilizer (with and without inoculation) consisting Azotobacter sp. and Azospirillum sp. and (3) two levels of sulfur application (0 and 50 kg S ha?1). Rapeseed yield, oil content of grains and studied physiological traits had a strong association with the N fertilization, biofertilizer inoculation and sulfur (S) application. Higher rates of N fertilization, biofertilizer inoculation and S application increased the grain yield of rapeseed. In the case of physiological traits, the highest value of relative water content (RWC) was recorded in 100 kg N ha?1 that was statistically in par with 150 kg N ha?1 application, while usage of 150 kg N ha?1 showed the maximum cell membrane stability (CMS). Inoculation with biofertilizer and S fertilization resulted in higher RWC and CMS in rapeseed plants. The chlorophyll content showed its maximum values in the highest level of N fertilization, biofertilizer inoculation and S application. The usage of 200 kg N ha?1 significantly decreased the oil content of rapeseed grains, but the highest grain oil content was obtained from the application of 150 kg N ha?1, Azotobacter sp. and Azospirillum sp. inoculation and S fertilization. It seems that moderate N rate (about 150 kg N ha?1) and S application (about 50 kg S ha?1) can prove to be beneficial in improving growth, development and total yield of inoculated rapeseed plants.  相似文献

The specificity of the infection of maize, wheat and rice roots by N2-fixing Azospirillum spp was studied in four greenhouse experiments using pots with unsterilized soil and in two field experiments. In all experiments A. lipoferum was most frequently isolated from externally sterilized roots of maize, and A. brasilense nir? (nitrite reductase negative) from wheat and rice. In pot experiments, A. brasilense nir+ was isolated with moderate frequency from within maize roots but rarely from within wheat or rice roots. Inoculation of the pots with a mixture of representative strains of the three Azospirillum groups had no effect on the proportion of strains recovered from each plant species. In the field experiments, inoculation with spontaneous streptomycin-resistant mutants of two of the representative strains confirmed the apparent specificity of A. lipoferum for maize roots and of A. brasilense for wheat but the results were partially obscured by the unexpectedly high proportion of streptomycin-resistant strains isolated from within the roots of uninoculated plants.  相似文献

Summary Three field experiments with wheat were conducted in 1983, 1984, and 1985 in Terra Roxa soil in Paraná, the major Brazilian wheat-growing region, to study inoculation effects of various strains of Azospirillum brasilense and A. amazonense. In all three experiments inoculation with A. brasilense Sp 245 isolated from surface-sterilized wheat roots in Paraná produced the highest plant dry weights and highest N% in plant tops and grain. Grain yield increases with this strain were up to 31 % but were not significant. The application of 60 or 100 kg N ha–1 to the controls increased N accumulation and produced yields less than inoculation with this strain. Another A. brasilense strain from surface-sterilized wheat roots (Sp 107st) also produced increased N assimilation at the lower N fertilizer level but reduced dry weights at the high N level, while strain Sp 7 + Cd reduced dry weights and N% in the straw at both N levels. The A. amazonense strain isolated from washed roots and a nitrate reductase negative mutant of strain Sp 245 were ineffective. Strains Sp 245 and Sp 107st showed the best establishment within roots while strain Cd established only in the soil.  相似文献

Micronutrient deficiency and malnutrition in humans are severe problems in many developing countries, particularly in areas with calcareous soils. There is almost no information on whether inoculation with plant growth–promoting Azospirillum and/or Trichoderma can help to reduce this problem by increasing the mineral concentration of the seeds. Field experiments were conducted in Tokat (Turkey) in 2001–2002 to determine whether inoculation with Azospirillum brasilense, Trichoderma harzianum, sole or in combination, and/or the application of P fertilizers can enhance micronutrient concentrations of field‐grown bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and wheat (Triticum aestivum). In beans, Azospirillum inoculation combined with P fertilization significantly (p < 0.05) increased seed concentrations of Mn, Zn, and Cu, from 8.8, 22.6, and 7.0 mg kg–1 in the control to 10.3, 28.3, and 11.0 mg kg–1, respectively. Trichoderma inoculation alone significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the concentrations of Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu and the cumulative plant uptake of Fe and Zn in 45‐day‐old bean plants. However, it significantly (p < 0.05) increased bean‐seed Cu content and accumulation. The double inoculation resulted in significantly (p < 0.05) higher micronutrient concentrations than Trichoderma inoculation alone in 45‐day‐old plants. In contrast to beans, the effects of microbial inoculations were less in wheat. However, dual inoculation significantly (p < 0.05) increased Zn content by 45% and Zn accumulation by 40% above the uninoculated control. Inoculation with plant growth–promoting microorganisms appears to be a promising strategy to combat micronutrient deficiencies.  相似文献

Abstract

Twenty rice cultivars, including three genetically-distinct groups (japonica, indica-1, and indica-2), were evaluated for their response to inoculation with Azospirillum sp. strain B510 in paddy fields with standard nitrogen (SN) and low nitrogen (LN) fertilization. In the SN field, the tiller numbers in most indica-2 cultivars, 37?days after transplanting (DAT), were significantly increased by the B510 inoculation, whereas those in 4 japonica cultivars were significantly decreased. A similar growth response was observed in the LN field, although the impacts of the B510 inoculation were more varied than in the SN field. At 58 DAT, the tiller numbers in most cultivars were lower or unaffected by the B510 inoculation under both SN and LN conditions, except that the tiller number of the Nipponbare cultivar, which is classified as japonica, was significantly higher in the LN field only. These results suggest that the effects of inoculation with Azospirillum sp. strain B510 on the growth of rice plants, especially on tiller numbers at the early growth stage, vary depending on the rice genotype, as well as nitrogen level. Therefore, the plant genotypes, growth stages, and fertilization managements must be considered when a plant-associated bacterium is evaluated for beneficial effects under field conditions.  相似文献

The influence of nitrogen nutrition and Russian wheat aphid (Diuraphis noxia Mordvilko) infestation on morphology and grain yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was studied in growth chamber experiments. Plants were grown with nutrient solution containing 100, 50, 10, or 0 percent of the normal complement of nitrogen. Plants were infested with eight apterous adult Russian wheat aphids at the flag leaf stage (approximately 53 days after planting). The aphids remained on the plant for a period of 25 days. Aphid infestation reduced mature plant height across all nutrient solution nitrogen concentrations tested. Grain yield was reduced by aphid infestation under all nutrient solution nitrogen concentrations except 0 percent. However, the percentage of yield loss caused by aphid infestation was reduced by increased levels of nitrogen in the nutrient solution. These results suggest that nitrogen fertilization might be a useful strategy for limiting yield loss caused by Russian wheat aphid in plants that are deficient in nitrogen.  相似文献

The paper summarizes the results of a series of experiments on enumeration of N2-fixing bacteria (diazotrophs) and hormonal effects of Azospirillum on root development. Numbers of N2-fixing and N-heterotrophic bacteria were determined on the root (rhizoplane plus “inner” root surface) and in the rhizosphere soil (0–3 mm from the root surface) of Arrhenatherum elatius, other forage grasses and some herbaceous plant species. Pot experiments involved freshly collected soil from an unfertilized grassland area containing its natural population of N2-fixing bacteria. The MPN (most probable number) of diazotrophs in relation to the MPN of the total bacterial population was always lower on the root than in the rhizosphere soil, suggesting that diazotrophs were not selectively advantaged at the root surface. Supply of mineral nitrogen (NH4NO3) decreased the proportion of N2-fixing bacteria at the rhizoplane as well as in the rhizosphere soil. Similar results were obtained when N was supplied via the leaves. The data suggest that N2-fixing bacteria in the rhizosphere are poor competitors once they loose their competitive advantage of binding dinitrogen. Correspondingly, the increase in the MPN of the diazotrophs found during plant development was interpreted as a result of decreased available combined N in the rhizosphere. The proportion of N2-fixing bacteria relative to the total number of bacteria was generally below 1%. Considering the potential amount of substrate released from the roots and the substrate requirement of the bacterial population, N2-fixation was considered insignificant for plant growth under the given conditions. For the investigations on possible beneficial effects on plant development by bacterial hormones, Azospirillum brasilense was chosen because evidence suggests that amongst the soil bacteria releasing hormones, especially IAA, certain strains of this species are more important than other bacteria. Application of A. brasilense Cd (ATCC 29710) onto the roots of young wheat plants grown in soil increased the number of lateral roots, the total root length and the number of root hairs. Similar results were obtained after application of IAA. This suggests that IAA is an important factor responsible for the effects observed after inoculation with A. brasilense. The increase in root surface may improve acquisition of nutrients and enhance growth of plants. Another hormonal effect of A. brasilense was an increase in nodulation of Medicago sativa grown on agar. Again pure IAA resulted in a similar increase in nodule number. Increases in nodule number were only in part associated with a change in root morphology. Therefore an effect of IAA on the plant immanent regulation system for nodulation is likely.  相似文献

The yield response of a wheat (Kirik) and a barley (Tokak 157/37) cultivar to inoculation with Azospirillum brasilense Sp246 and Bacillus sp. OSU‐142 was studied in relation to three levels of N fertilization (0, 40, and 80 kg ha–1) under field conditions in Erzurum, Turkey, in 1999 and 2000. Seed inoculation with A. brasilense Sp246 significantly affected yield and yield components, both in wheat and barley. On average of years and N doses, inoculation with A. brasilense Sp246 increased spike number per m2, grain number per spike, grain yield, and crude protein content by 7.2, 5.9, 14.7, and 4.1 % in wheat and by 6.6, 8.1, 17.5, and 5.1 % in barley, respectively, as compared to control. Inoculation with Bacillus sp. OSU‐142 significantly increased kernel number per spike in wheat, but no significant effect was determined in the other characteristics. Grain yields and yield components were also higher at all levels of nitrogen fertilizer in the inoculated plots as compared to the control. However, these increases diminished at high fertilizer levels. These results suggest that application of the growth promoting bacteria A. brasilense Sp246 may have the potential to be used as a biofertilizer for spring wheat and barley cultivation in organic and low‐N input agriculture.  相似文献

A two-year field study was conducted to test the effects of two phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB), Pantoea cypripedii (PSB-3) and Pseudomonas plecoglossicida (PSB-5), inoculated singly or together with rock phosphate (RP) fertilization on maize and wheat cropping cycle by comparing with chemical P fertilizer (diammonium phosphate, DAP), mainly in the crop yield, soil fertility and economic returns. Inoculation of PSB together with RP fertilization increased the crop growth in terms of shoot height, shoot and root dry biomass, grain yield and total P uptake in both maize and wheat crops compared to the other treatments. Soil fertility in the context of available P, enzyme activities and PSB population in both maize and wheat crops was significantly improved with PSB inoculation together with RP fertilization compared to DAP treatment. The combined use of PSB inoculation and RP fertilization was more economical due to minimal cost and maximum returns. These results suggested that PSB inoculation along with RP fertilization would be an appropriate substitute for chemical phosphate fertilizer application in sustainable agriculture systems.  相似文献

Investigations on the adjustment of nitrogen supply from different N sources to the N uptake of maize A two years field experiment was conducted to study the effects of the nitrogen fertilizers: wheat swill, BASAMMON (NH4 + nitrification inhibitor DCD) and calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN) applied at N rates of 0.60.120 or 180 kg N/ha on yield, N uptake and soil mineral N residues of maize for silage or grain production. CAN was either broadcast or placed in the maize rows, with or without the addition of an Azospirillum-biopreparation (AZOGREEN). Due to initially high soil mineral N contents (50–70 kg N/ha) and a high mineralization from the soil (unfertilized: 100–170 kg N/ha), neither effects of fertilizer type, nor interactions between fertilizer type and N rate on biomass production and N uptake of maize were observed. The economically optimum total dry matter production and grain yield were obtained with a fertilization of 60–120 kg N/ha. In contrast to the biomass production the soil mineral N was considerably influenced by fertilizer type and N rate. The nitrate content of the soil increased during the early developmental stages of maize after an early application of swill or BASAMMON, and also during the ripening period after a late high dose of CAN. Though the placement of CAN was reflected in the soil, the soil nitrogen content per unit area could not be much reduced by row fertilization. The effects of AZOGREEN were only small. The results were greatly influenced by the high mineralization potential at the experimental site.  相似文献

Abstract

Greenhouse‐pot experiments were conducted to compare wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] in terms of their potassium (K) and magnesium (Mg) uptake. Previously, a field study indicated that various rates of K and Mg fertilization did not produce a significant wheat‐yield response. However, a yield increase with residual K and Mg was measured for the subsequent soybean crop. The 0 to 15 cm layer of Norfolk loamy fine sand (fine loamy, siliceous, thermic Typic Kandiudult) from two different sites was used for the pot experiments. Soil from both sites had a pH of 5.1. Potassium as potassium sulfate (K2SO4) was mixed into the soil from the K‐deficient site and Mg as magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) was mixed into the soil from the Mg‐deficient site. ‘Florida 301’ wheat and ‘Cobb’ soybean were grown in winter and summer, respectively.

Soybean and wheat were similar in K uptake/g of roots on the first and second sampling dates. However, by the third sampling date, K uptake/g of wheat roots was about twice as high as for soybean. Potassium uptake/cm of soybean roots was two to five times that of wheat at each sampling date. Magnesium uptake/g of soybean roots was about four to five times as high as wheat on each sampling date. Similarly, Mg uptake/cm of soybean roots was 10 to 30 times higher than for wheat. Soybean showed higher total K and Mg content than wheat, suggesting that soybean has a higher demand for both K and Mg. The higher demand for K and Mg by soybeans than by wheat suggests that wheat could meet its demand for K and Mg at much lower soil levels than that for soybean. This would also explain a grain‐yield response to K and Mg by soybeans in the previously reported field study, despite a lack of yield response by wheat grown on the same site.  相似文献

 The gusA-marked Azospirillum lipoferum T1371, constructed by inserting transposon mTn5SSgusA20 from Escherichia coli S17-1 λ-pir into the genome of Azospirillum lipoferum 137, was used to evaluate its effect on nodulation of white clover with and without Rhizobium inoculation. When inoculated alone, Azospirillum colonized the tap roots, secondary roots and root hairs. The combined inoculation of white clover with Rhizobium leguminosarum bv trifolii and A. lipoferum enhanced the number of nodules by 2–3 times from 5 to 20 days after inoculation (DAI). The combined inoculation also enhanced acetylene reduction activity by 2.3–2.7 times at 20 DAI. Moreover, Azospirillum was observed colonizing the tap root, root hairs and sites near or on the nodules. These results suggest that the formation of additional infection sites by A. lipoferum, with a combined inoculation, may be the mechanism that will enhance nodulation and nitrogen fixation of white clover.
