Intact-plant screening for tolerance of nutrient-deficiency stress

Abstract: SummaryCritical factors in the selection of appropriate screening procedures to detect different phenotypic responses to nutrient-deficiency stress are discussed. Various morphological, anatomical, and physiological plant factors responsible for adaptations to nutrient deficiency, particularly low-P stress, are reviewed. Also, the relative effectiveness of various screening culture techniques for detecting phenotypic efficiencies based on specific plant features are considered.The relative ineffectiveness of l… Show more

“…Different concepts of nutrient efficiency have been developed, some giving emphasis to productivity and others to internal nutrient requirement [17], and in some cases their interpretations are misleading [6,9]. To characterize different plant species or genotypes for NUE, researchers use many criteria, including the presence or absence of deficiency symptoms [44], absolute growth at a limiting nutrient level [45], relative growth obtained by comparing growth at limiting and adequate nutrient levels [46], efficiency ratio (ER) or amount of biomass produced per unit of nutrient present in the tissues [47], the use of yield response curves in terms of the functional relationship between yield and nutrient accumulated in the aboveground biomass, or nutrient supply in nutrient media using Michaelis-Menten-type equation [9,10,11,13], and utilization coefficient as the inverse of the whole plant nutrient concentration being expressed on a dry matter basis [13]. The plants nutrient efficiency could be also assessed by other terms like the "external" and "internal" P requirements for plant growth and yield under limited nutrient availability in soil.…”

“…Stem P concentration in Avoca increased with increasing P application, from 0.16% at 0 kg/ha to 0.32% at 120 kg/ha P rate in Avoca (Figure 4.11 right). This result was consistent with the findings in Gerloff (1987) where reduced allocation of P in supporting structures, such as stems, occurred due to the plant adaptation to low P environment. A strong negative correlation (r 2 =0.73, p<0.001) between PUE and stem P concentrations occurred regardless the cultivar (Figure 4.11 left).…”

“…Additionally, the case was made that because soil is the medium in which plant selections ultimately must perform, cultivar screening for nutrient efficiency in solution culture (nutricuIture) should relate to results in soil (Gerloff, 1987). While the nutriculture method facilitates screening large numbers of plants and eliminates some of the physiochemical complexities involved in soil studies, systeminduced variations in nutrient availability, as well as plant morphological, anatomical, and physiological factors with nutriculture might result in genotypic variation in NUE different from those which would occur in soil.…”
