Co-incorporation of rice straw and green manure with reduced nitrogen fertilizer application maintained rice yield and lowered ammonia volatilization
Co-incorporation of rice straw (RS) and green manure (GM) is an effective practice for replacing nitrogen (N) fertilizer and lowering reactive N losses to the environment. This study aimed to determine the eff...

Effects of long-term green manure application on organic carbon fractions and clay minerals and their interactions in paddy soil aggregates
Green manure is commonly used to improve soil organic carbon (SOC) stock, which is mainly combined with soil minerals and stored in aggregates. The effects of three green manure varieties on mineral associated...

Coordinated effects of lead toxicity and nutrient deprivation on growth, oxidative status, and elemental composition of primed and non-primed rice seedlings
Rice crop is highly susceptible to the toxic levels of lead (Pb) during early growth stages. Moreover, a sufficient availability of mineral nutrients is critical for survival of plants particularly under stres...

Protective role of mucilage against Al toxicity to root apex of pea (Pisum sativum)
Mucilage can strongly bind Al in the rhizosphere. Although there are still debates about the role of mucilage in protection of the root apex from Al toxicity, we considered that it might be associated with the...

Comparative metabolic activity related to flavonoid synthesis in leaves and flowers of Chrysanthemum morifolium in response to K deficiency
K limitation could decrease the flavonoids content in many Chinese traditional herbs. These results may be caused by the influence of K deficiency on the synthesis pathway of flavonoids. In this paper, we aim ...

Physiology and Metabalism of Boron in Plants
Boron has been proved an essential element for higher plants growth since 1923 (Warington 1923), but its primary physiological function in plants is yet unclear. Increasing number of experiments supported the ...
