Understanding the mechanisms of phosphorus (P)-use efficiency (PUE) may contribute to enhancing crop P nutrition because species growth variability at low-P is well known. The experiment was carried out to evaluate the response of kale genotypes to different P supply in randomized block design in three replications. Low-P supply led to a decrease in most parameters, whereas an increase was recorded in root growth parameters. Genotypes differed in shoot dry weight (DW), leaf area, root length and area, and shoot and root P content and concentration. Root traits significantly positively correlated with PUE. Genotypes Red Russian (RR) and IJK 17 were superior in terms of shoot DW production at low P supply, and had the highest uptake efficiency. Genotypes IJK 17 and 81 had the highest P utilization efficiency, while Vates blue curled (VBC) showed the lowest PUE. Genotypes had similar shoot P content and concentration at low P supply, but large PUE differences, implying the importance of P utilization efficiency.  相似文献   

Semi-empirical model of the rill erosion of soils     

V. Ya. Grigor’ev 《Eurasian Soil Science》2007,40(11):1217-1226

Semi-empirical equations for describing the erosive and transporting capacities of low-depth flows with account for their interaction with eroded soil were developed and experimentally and theoretically substantiated. These equations can form the basis for a unified model of rill erosion under irrigation, rainfall, and snowmelt runoff conditions.  相似文献   

Precipitation chemistry and atmospheric processes in the forested part of Croatia     

A. Bajić  V. Đuričić 《Water, air, and soil pollution》1995,85(4):1955-1960

The influence of mesoscale weather patterns on the chemical composition of daily precipitation samples is analysed. The data of pH, sulphur from sulphates and total nitrogen are analysed for two rural sites: Plitvice station in forested part of Central Croatia (1981 to 1990) and Puntijarka suburban station on the mountain near Zagreb, the capital of Croatia (1982–1991). The two prevailing weather types in precipitation days are selected and the comparison of chemical composition of precipitation is made for each of them. The frequency distributions of pH, sulphur and nitrogen show that concentration of major ions in precipitation apparently depends on the regional scale weather type. It is shown that the seasonal variation of deposition is related to the seasonal variation in precipitation amount. In both weather types Plitvice receives more pollution than Puntijarka that is closer to urban and industrial pollution sources. Both locations are under the prevailing influence of regional pollution sources.  相似文献

Feynman's path-integral approach for intense-laser-atom interactions     

Salières P  Carré B  Le Déroff L  Grasbon F  Paulus GG  Walther H  Kopold R  Becker W  Milosević DB  Sanpera A  Lewenstein M 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》2001,292(5518):902-905

Atoms interacting with intense laser fields can emit electrons and photons of very high energies. An intuitive and quantitative explanation of these highly nonlinear processes can be found in terms of a generalization of classical Newtonian particle trajectories, the so-called quantum orbits. Very few quantum orbits are necessary to reproduce the experimental results. These orbits are clearly identified, thus opening the way for an efficient control as well as previously unknown applications of these processes.  相似文献   

Determining optimal leaf surface area     

A. V. Solov’ev  M. K. Kayumov 《Russian Agricultural Sciences》2007,33(1):16-18

In field experiments with local application of various dosages of fertilizer on chernozem soils in northwestern Povolzhye, the optimal development of leaf area in millet plants of Kamyshinskoe 67 variety was revealed. A maximum leaf area of 58 500 m²/ha was noted in the phase of panicle emergence with the application of N₁₅₅P₈₈K₁₄₃. Such a leaf surface area ensured an output of 63.7 cwt/ha on average over three years of production.  相似文献

Most people hold beliefs about personality characteristics typical of members of their own and others' cultures. These perceptions of national character may be generalizations from personal experience, stereotypes with a "kernel of truth," or inaccurate stereotypes. We obtained national character ratings of 3989 people from 49 cultures and compared them with the average personality scores of culture members assessed by observer ratings and self-reports. National character ratings were reliable but did not converge with assessed traits. Perceptions of national character thus appear to be unfounded stereotypes that may serve the function of maintaining a national identity.  相似文献

Mass spectrometry of intact V-type ATPases reveals bound lipids and the effects of nucleotide binding     

Zhou M  Morgner N  Barrera NP  Politis A  Isaacson SC  Matak-Vinković D  Murata T  Bernal RA  Stock D  Robinson CV 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》2011,334(6054):380-385

The ability of electrospray to propel large viruses into a mass spectrometer is established and is rationalized by analogy to the atmospheric transmission of the common cold. Much less clear is the fate of membrane-embedded molecular machines in the gas phase. Here we show that rotary adenosine triphosphatases (ATPases)/synthases from Thermus thermophilus and Enterococcus hirae can be maintained intact with membrane and soluble subunit interactions preserved in vacuum. Mass spectra reveal subunit stoichiometries and the identity of tightly bound lipids within the membrane rotors. Moreover, subcomplexes formed in solution and gas phases reveal the regulatory effects of nucleotide binding on both ATP hydrolysis and proton translocation. Consequently, we can link specific lipid and nucleotide binding with distinct regulatory roles.  相似文献   

Ecology and distribution of Armillaria species in Norway     

N. Keča  H. Solheim 《Forest Pathology》2011,41(2):120-132

The occurence of Armillaria species was assessed in Norway, enabling the northern‐most distribution of this genus to be determined in Europe. Four Armillaria species were found in Norway. Armillaria borealis was the most common species occurring on woody vegetation to the permafrost zone (ca. 69°N). Armillaria cepistipes was present in southern and central Norway, but was not found further than 66°N. Armillaria solidipes and Armillaria gallica were rare, found at only one locality each; 59°40′ and 59°32′, respectively. Armillaria species were found on 14 hosts, but there was no significant difference between occurrence of A. borealis and A. cepistipes on declining and dead trees. Phylogenetic analyses separated each species into separate clades. All isolates of A. borealis, except one, and most isolates of A. solidipes were in separate clades. However, a subclade within the A. borealis clade was formed of two A. ostoyae and one A. borealis isolates. Two small A. cepistipes genets were found in a declining oak stand.  相似文献
