Journal ArticleDOI

Zinc in plants

Martin R. Broadley, +6 more
- 01 Mar 2007 - 
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

Alexander Lux, +3 more
- 01 Jan 2011 - 
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, +6 more
- 01 Apr 2005 - 
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

Alexander Lux, +3 more
- 01 Apr 2004 - 
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.

Alexander Lux, +3 more
- 01 Nov 2005 - 
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.
