Journal ArticleDOI
Zinc in plants
Martin R. Broadley,Philip J. White,John P. Hammond,Ivan Zelko,Ivan Zelko,Alexander Lux,Alexander Lux +6 more
TL;DR: The dominant fluxes of Zn in the soil-root-shoot continuum are described, including Zn inputs to soils, the plant availability of soluble Zn(2+) at the root surface, and plant uptake and accumulation of ZN.
Journal ArticleDOI
Root responses to cadmium in the rhizosphere: a review
TL;DR: The development of apoplastic barriers to Cd movement to the xylem is described and recent experiments indicating that their maturation is accelerated by high Cd concentrations in their immediate locality are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of silicon enhanced drought tolerance in Sorghum bicolor
Taiichiro Hattori,Shinobu Inanaga,Hideki Araki,Ping An,Shigenori Morita,Miroslava Luxová,Alexander Lux +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that silicon application may be useful to improve the drought tolerance of sorghum via the enhancement of water uptake ability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differences in structure of adventitious roots in Salix clones with contrasting characteristics of cadmium accumulation and sensitivity
TL;DR: The proportion of root apoplastic barriers, exodermis and endoderm is as well as epidermis to other root tissues was significantly increased in clones with higher tolerance to Cd ions, indicating the importance of these tissues in protection of the root against toxic effects of Cd.
Journal ArticleDOI
An improved method for clearing and staining free-hand sections and whole-mount samples.
TL;DR: The clearing procedure using lactic acid improves the quality of images from free-hand sections and clearings and enhances the study of plant root anatomy, in particular the histological development and changes of cell walls, when used in combination with fluorescence microscopy.
