Chapter
Growth and Development of Root Systems
The importance of the root system to productivity has been acknowledged for nearly a century (Weaver, 1926). It is common knowledge that roots serve as an anchor to the plant and act as the means by which the ...

Selective enrichment of a pyrene degrader population and enhanced pyrene degradation in Bermuda grass rhizosphere
Rhizosphere soil has a more diverse and active microbial community compared to nonvegetated soil. Consequently, the rhizosphere pyrene degrader population (PDP) and pyrene degradation may be enhanced compared ...

Salt effect on K influx by two rice cultivars differing in salinity tolerance
Rice cultivars differ in their ability to absorb ions from the soil solution under non-saline conditions. Cultivar differences in kinetic parameters that describe influx of nutrients absorbed through active up...

Root development of bermudagrass and tall fescue as affected by cutting interval and growth regulators
A study was conducted to characterize changes in bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon [L.] Pers.) and tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) root development over time and with depth, and to determine the effects of...

Root growth and distribution of two short-season rice genotypes
Root growth dynamics of lowland rice (Oryza sativa L.) throughout the growing season are poorly understood. A field experiment was conducted in 1987 to compare root growth and distribution of two rice genotypes a...

The porous-membrane technique for root studies of field-grown crops
A porous-membrane technique has been successfully used in root studies of field-grown soybean,Glycine max L. Merr., for several years. In order to evaluate this technique on other crops, a study was conducted to ...
