Change of Several Plant Nutrient Elements by Plant Species and Organ

Abstract

Nutrient elements, one of the major factors shaping plant development, are the major components of plants, and, after being taken from the soil, they are present in different organs of plant at different concentrations. The speciation of nutrient elements within plant body is vital importance for determining the contribution to plant development, knowing the transfer between organs within the body of organs, clearly understanding the factors influencing plant development, and shaping the plant development. In the present study, the change of the concentrations of K and Mg (macronutrient elements) and Cu (micronutrient elements) by species and organ in woody species Prunus cerasifera, Platanus orientalis, Acer negundo, Fraxinus excelsior, Catalpa bignonioides, Aesculus hippocastanum, and Tilia platypyllos. As a result, it was found that the changes of elements by species were statistically significant in all the organs, and, in general, the highest concentrations were observed in leaves. The study results revealed that the concentrations of these elements might significantly vary between the organs in the same species, which varies significantly by the species.

Changes of Plant Nutrients K and Mg in Several Plants Based on Traffic Density and Organs

“…Mg is the primary atom of chlorophyll and is crucial in the process of photosynthesis. Therefore, the concentration of chlorophyll is decreased, and photosynthesis is reduced, and as a result, its development is hindered under Mg deficiency [10].…”

“…However, it is challenging to specify the primary source of the elements defined in the plants' bodies because the pathways of uptake in these two organs may work simultaneously [49,50]. Therefore, air and soil composition also affect plant element concentrations [10]. In recent years, it has been determined that air pollution in urban areas has increased significantly in connection with industrial activities and traffic density [51][52][53].…”

“…The shared interaction of plant genetic structure [4][5][6] and environmental factors play a crucial role in plant development [7][8][9]. It is necessary to understand this mechanism to assure plants' ideal growth and development and shape this expansion according to the desired goals [10].…”

“…Perhaps the most important of these factors is nutritional elements. Nutrients are the basic building blocks of plants and are present at different levels in different organs of plants after they are taken from the soil [10,18], not only in their natural habitat [19] but also in their marginal lands [20]. Another factor affecting plant growth is environmental stress conditions [21][22][23][24][25][26][27].…”
