“…Anaerobic conditions can also affect the activity of the soil microflora. In poorly oxygenated soils, obligate anaerobes such as saccharolytic and proteolytic clostridia ( Clostridium butyricum , C. sporogenes , C. perfringens ) have been shown to be antagonistic of plant growth (Biswas et al, 2001; Brandsaeter et al, 2005). Clostridium bacteria have the capacity to decompose organic matter and to produce low molecular weight monobasic aliphatic acids also know as volatile fatty acids (VFA; Watanabe, 1984).…”

Physiological Responses of Annual Bluegrass and Creeping Bentgrass to Contrasted Levels of O₂ and CO₂ at Low Temperatures

Ice encasement and impermeable winter protective covers can induce anaerobic conditions on golf greens. We assessed plant survival and biochemical changes of annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) and creeping bentgrass [Agrostis stoloniferous L. var. palustris (Huds.)] exposed to combinations of O2 and CO2 concentrations at low temperatures (1°C or −2°C). Results indicate that lack of O2 (anoxia) rather than high CO2 is the source of plant damage. However, combination of low O2 and high CO2 induced more severe damage than low O2 alone. Annual bluegrass was found to be more sensitive to anoxia than creeping bentgrass, and subfreezing temperature delayed anoxia‐induced damage. Sucrose was depleted more rapidly under low O2 than under normal conditions. Fructan reserves were similarly mobilized in all treatments except for a more pronounced decline in annual bluegrass maintained under high CO2 at 1°C. A marked accumulation of asparagine at 1°C under normal atmospheric conditions did not occur under anoxia. Reversely, concentrations of alanine and tyrosine increased under low O2. Proline accumulation in plants incubated at −2°C was higher under low than under high CO2 treatments. We observed a relationship between the presence of volatile fatty acids and plant damage under low O2. Our study illustrates the complex interaction between O2 and CO2 that have both synergistic and independent effect on plant damage under anoxia at low temperatures.

“…The turfgrass on the RD green could have been killed by exposure to low redox potential induced by the rapid O 2 consumption. Under such conditions, volatile fatty acids are produced by anaerobic Clostridium bacteria and have been shown to be antagonistic of plant growth (Biwas et al, 2001; Brandsaeter et al, 2005). Accordingly, the accumulation of butyrate was shown to occur after ice encasement (Brandsaeter et al 2005).…”

Atmospheric Composition under Impermeable Winter Golf Green Protections

et al. 2006

The utilization of impermeable winter covers on annual bluegrass [Poa annua var. reptans (Hauskn.) Timm.] golf greens as a protection against excess water and ice is increasing rapidly in Canada and elsewhere in northern climates. A study was conducted to examine the impact of these covers on the atmospheric composition over golf green turfgrass during the 1997–1998 and 1998–1999 winters in Québec City and in Montréal, Canada. Winter protective covers tested included a commercial impermeable cover on top of either curled wood shavings mat (CW‐CC), 15 cm of straw mulch (SM‐CC) or a felt material (FM‐CC), a clear polyethylene cover on top of a curled wood shavings mat (CW‐PC), and an unprotected control. Oxygen was consumed at variable rates under impermeable winter protective covers. As a result, anoxic conditions were not reached during winter at the Québec City site but high respiration rates at the Montréal site resulted in anoxic conditions that lasted for periods as long as 50 d, without apparent damage to the annual bluegrass plants. Further tests were conducted on greens experiencing recurrent damages that could not be explained by freezing temperatures, snow mold pathogens, excess water, or ice. We showed that these problem greens had higher soil respiration rates than nonproblem greens indicating that the differences in O2 consumption amongst golf greens are likely due to differences in soil biological activity rather than in plant respiration. We also established that the higher activity in soils of recurrently damaged greens was related to higher levels of soil organic C. Accordingly, sand‐based golf greens built according to the USGA specifications had lower soil organic matter and lower respiration rates than greens built on native soils. We conclude that high rates of O2 consumption by golf greens with high soil organic matter content results in potentially harmful anoxic conditions under impermeable covers during winter.

“…1 st leaf length plays an important role in seedling establishment under lowland conditions . The response of genotype towards acetic acid appeared to vary with the inherent potentials of the genotypes (Biswas et al, 2001a). Under anoxic or hypoxic conditions, if the injury is due to the accumulation of toxic substances stress tolerance can conceivably be due to the prevention of the accumulation of toxic substances (strain avoidance) or tolerance to the accumulation of the toxic substances (strain tolerance) (Levitt, 1972).…”

“…However, the variation they showed, was due to their genetic make up only. (Biswas, 1994 andBiswas et al, 2001a). Tepi boro in 4 and 8 mM acid concentrations could not maintain its superior coleoptile length it attainted at pH 5.…”

Acetic acid Effect on Seedling Growth of Some Anoxia-tolerant Land Race Rice (<i>Oryza sativa</i> L) Genotypes

et al. 2010

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

An in vitro study was conducted to observe the effect of acetic acid in the process of seedling growth of five anoxia-tolerant land race rice genotypes (Tepi boro, Chaita boro, Bashful, Jahmir and Banajira) under hypoxic condition at two pH levels: pH 5 and pH 7. The acetic acid concentrations were 0, 4, 8 and 12 mM. Seedlings were grown in the test tubes containing 18 ml acetic acid-water solution (equivalent to 50 mm water column above the seed) under the two pH conditions at 30 °C for 7 days in dark. The nature and extent of the genotype responses varied with the concentrations of acetic acid and pH levels. Increased acetic acid concentration affected coleoptile length, mesocotyl length, 1 st leaf length and root length significantly. The genotype Bashful was able to produce the longest 1 st leaf length at pH 5. The 1st leaf growth of genotype Jahmir varied a little with the pH levels used in this study. Higher pH (pH 7) appeared to minimize acetic acid shock of the seedlings in the process of development.
