Effects of phosphorus deficiency on anatomical structures in maize (<i>Zea mays</i> L.)

Abstract: Anatomical response of maize (Zea mays L.) to phosphorus deficiency grown in sand culture and half strength Hoagland solution revealed that phosphorus deficiency caused a decrease in diameter of the root and stem as well as thickness of the leaf. Epidermal cells of the root, stem and leaf became thickened, cortical zone of root and stem was reduced, endodermal and pericycle cells became smaller and thick walled in phosphorus deficient plants. The prominent structural changes due to phosphorus deficiency occurr… Show more

“…In addition, 12/13 CO 2 fractionation occurs during diffusion into the cell 50 , 51 . Phosphorus starvation in plants often leads to a disruption of hydraulic conductance due to stomata closure 52 54 . Indeed, when the stomata are closed, plants use the CO 2 which is already present in the leave cells and therefore it is very likely that Rubisco can consume also more 13 C as substrate.…”

“…They stated that Pseudomonas and Rhizobium, Klebsiella and Pseudomonas possess the ability to solubilize insoluble inorganic phosphates and make them available to the plants. P deficiency has a significant influence on leaf photosynthesis and carbon metabolisms in plants (Rao 1996) and could result in smaller size of stomatal opening (Sarker et al 2010). Furthermore, Khan et al (2010) mentioned that phosphorus plays an important role in photosynthesis, energy transfer, signal transduction, and respiration in the plant.…”

“…The photosynthetic rate of plants could be affected by a non-stomatal factor that primarily depends on the activity of intrinsic enzymes, photosynthetic apparatus, and their regulation mechanisms (Li et al, [ 2006 ]). P deficiency could result in smaller in size of stomatal opening (Sarker et al, [ 2010 ]), atmospheric CO 2 became hard to entry into cell of plant, but through catalysis of CA in P. nil , which showed high activity, another carbon source could be supplied for photosynthesis of P. nil by the transformation from HCO 3 − to CO 2 under P deficiency stress. Photosynthesis efficiency can be described by the maximal PSII photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fm) and actual photochemical quantum efficiency of open PSII (Φ PSII ).…”
