Effect of salt stress on concentration of nitrogen and phosphorus in root and leaf of strawberry plant

Abstract

Article Info Received : 02.03.2017 Accepted : 23.05.2017 In this study the effect of salt stress on the concentrations of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in the leaves and the roots of two strawberry (Fragaria vesca L.) cultivars (Camarosa and Sweet Charlie) was investigated on cold stored bare-rooted seedlings grown in buckets filled with coarse sand. The treatments consisting of no-NaCl control, 1760, 2400, and 3040 mg L -1 of NaCl in half-strength Hoagland nutrient solution were applied to the plants for six months. During the experiment, leaf and root sampling were performed two times with five months interval. Roots and leaves of the plants were analyzed for Na, Cl, N and P. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) procedures was performed in Three Factors Completely Randomized Design for plant analysis results. Additionally orthogonal comparison was applied to the significant salinity effects. Cultivar and sampling time affected N, P, Na and Cl concentrations of the roots significantly. Cultivarsampling time and sampling time-salinity interactions were significant for the N, P and Na concentrations of the roots. Salinity solely affected Cl concentrations of the roots significantly. All the treatments affected the concentrations of P, Na and Cl of the leaves significantly. The N concentrations of the leaves were affected significantly by only sampling time. Cultivar-salinity and sampling time-salinity interactions were found significant in the leaf N concentrations of the plants. The results show that the cultivars probably have different strategies in arrangement of N and P composition under salinity.

Salt stress affects mineral nutrition in shoots and roots and chlorophyll a fluorescence of tomato plants grown in hydroponic culture

“…Our results were coherent with the literature published previously. However, It is in our interest to note that, nutrients P and K decrease with high salt concentration is accompanied by a significant increase in Na and Cu contents in root and shoot (Demiral 2017;Hand et al 2017;Thu et al 2017). It should also be noted that the quantity of Cu varies according to the plant parts of accumulation.…”

“…However, it was observed that P presents a significant decrease for the two treatments except during treatment S2 in the aerial part. It is well documented that P is a major element for the shoot and root growth and low-P uptake under salt stress could induce a reduction in biomass development (Navarro et al 2001;Demiral 2017;Khan et al 2018). Also, it has been reported that reduction in growth under salt stress could be attributed to a nutritional imbalance and excessive Na + uptake (Hand et al 2017;Isayenkov and Maathuis 2019).…”

Photosynthetic performance and nutrient uptake under salt stress: Differential responses of wheat plants to contrasting phosphorus forms and rates

“…Among the strategies reported is the use of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) ( Elhindi et al., 2017 ; Li et al., 2020 ), inoculation with plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) ( Ilangumaran and Smith, 2017 ; Tirry et al., 2021 ), nutritional supplementation of silicon ( Altuntas et al., 2018 ; Muhammad et al., 2022 ), the addition of organic soil amendment ( Yang et al., 2020 ; Kumari et al., 2022 ; Xiao et al., 2022 ) and exogenous application of hormones ( Kaya et al., 2013 ). Regarding phosphorus (P) being the most important nutrient after nitrogen (N) for plant growth and development, salt stress has been reported to impact its bioavailability and mobility in the plant-soil continuum, and therefore root uptake ( Demiral, 2017 ; Khan et al., 2018 ; Bouras et al., 2021 ; Bouras et al., 2022 ). The P deficiency impacts all vital processes: respiration, photosynthesis and plant growth and development ( Carstensen et al., 2018 ).…”

The Effect of Salinity on the Growth of Lavender Species

“…Afterwards, a salt-specific or ion-excess effect of salinity is demonstrated by the salt entrance into the plant transpiration stream, causing eventual injury of transpiring leaf cells and further reduction of plant growth [11]. The high saline concentrations within the plant affect the anatomy, physiology and morphology of plant parts and particularly of leaves [4,6,14,15]. The salts absorbed by the plant are concentrated within the mature leaves, leading to leaf death over an extended time period due to the inability of leaf cells to compartmentalize salts in the vacuole; hence the salts either accumulate in the cytoplasm, inhibiting enzyme function, or accumulate in the cell walls, dehydrating the leaf cells [11].…”
