Bioavailability of soil inorganic P in the rhizosphere as affected by root-induced chemical changes: a review

In most soils, inorganic phosphorus occurs at fairly low concentrations in the soil solution whilst a large proportion of it is more or less strongly held by diverse soil minerals. Phosphate ions can indeed be adsorbed onto positively charged minerals such as Fe and Al oxides. Phosphate (P) ions can also form a range of minerals in combination with metals such as Ca, Fe and Al. These adsorption/desorption and precipitation/dissolution equilibria control the concentration of P in the soil solution and, thereby, both its chemical mobility and bioavailability. Apart from the concentration of P ions, the major factors that determine those equilibria as well as the speciation of soil P are (i) the pH, (ii) the concentrations of anions that compete with P ions for ligand exchange reactions and (iii) the concentrations of metals (Ca, Fe and Al) that can coprecipitate with P ions. The chemical conditions of the rhizosphere are known to considerably differ from those of the bulk soil, as a consequence of a range of processes that are induced either directly by the activity of plant roots or by the activity of rhizosphere microflora. The aim of this paper is to give an overview of those chemical processes that are directly induced by plant roots and which can affect the concentration of P in the soil solution and, ultimately, the bioavailability of soil inorganic P to plants. Amongst these, the uptake activity of plant roots should be taken into account in the first place. A second group of activities which is of major concern with respect to P bioavailability are those processes that can affect soil pH, such as proton/bicarbonate release (anion/cation balance) and gaseous (O₂/CO₂) exchanges. Thirdly, the release of root exudates such as organic ligands is another activity of the root that can alter the concentration of P in the soil solution. These various processes and their relative contributions to the changes in the bioavailability of soil inorganic P that can occur in the rhizosphere can considerably vary with (i) plant species, (ii) plant nutritional status and (iii) ambient soil conditions, as will be stressed in this paper. Their possible implications for the understanding and management of P nutrition of plants will be briefly addressed and discussed.

碱胁迫对羊草和向日葵的影响

以抗盐碱性较强的单子叶植物羊草和双子叶植物向日葵为材料，对其进行中性盐、碱性盐和各种中碱性混合盐等胁迫处理，以日相对生长率(RGR)为主要胁变指标分析各种胁迫的特点及其相互关系.结果表明，碱性盐胁迫与中性盐胁迫实际上是既相关又有本质区别的两种不同胁迫，应该将碱性盐胁迫定义为碱胁迫，而将中性盐胁迫定义为盐胁迫.碱胁迫区别于盐胁迫的关键是高pH值.以缓冲量作为碱胁迫的胁强指标，而以盐度作为盐胁迫的胁强指标较为理想.盐碱混合胁迫时，两种胁迫表现出协同效应.  

Transient accumulation of potassium glutamate and its replacement by trehalose during adaptation of growing cells of Escherichia coli K-12 to elevated sodium chloride concentrations

The sequence of events following the addition of 0.5 M NaCl to cells of Escherichia coli growing in a minimal mineral medium was investigated. Immediately after upshock the cells took up a large amount of K⁺ and synthesized approximately half the equivalent amount of glutamate concomitantly. After 30 min the cells started to synthesize trehalose, and after 2 h they had replaced most of their initial osmoprotectants by the carbohydrate. Cell trehalose was rapidly replaced by proline, taken up from the medium when added to the osmoadapting cells. The initial rate of this proline uptake was extremely rapid, and with rates observed of up to 0.6 mmolxmin^-1xg^-1 of cell protein it was approximately ten times faster than that reported in the literature for non-growing cells. These results indicate that for osmoadaptation of growing cells of E. coli the uptake of proline has priority over the synthesis of trehalose, which in its turn is preferred above K⁺ and glutamate as osmoprotectants. We observed that two mutants with unknown lesions, but which are known to be impaired in osmoadaptation, were inhibited in replacing K⁺ and glutamate by trehalose, indicating that this is the basis for their defect in osmoadaptation. Further experiments revealed that neither internal pH nor the membrane potential nor the transmembrane protonmotive force are likely to be involved in osmoadaptation in E. coli. However, during osmoadaptation a high internal potassium concentration appeared to stimulate the derepression of proline-uptake systems (mainly system ProP).Abbreviations TPP tetraphenylphosphonium - pmf transmembrane protonmotive force - membrane potential, pH, transmembrane pH difference These parameters are defined as the difference between the outside and the inside of the cells  

Inferring pH from diatoms: a comparison of old and new calibration methods

Two new methods for inferring pH from diatoms are presented. Both are based on the observation that the relationships between diatom taxa and pH are often unimodal. The first method is maximum likelihood calibration based on Gaussian logit response curves of taxa against pH. The second is weighted averaging. In a lake with a particular pH, taxa with an optimum close to the lake pH will be most abundant, so an intuitively reasonable estimate of the lake pH is to take a weighted average of the pH optima of the species present.Optima and tolerances of diatom taxa were estimated from contemporary pH and proportional diatom counts in littoral zone samples from 97 pristine soft water lakes and pools in Western Europe. The optima showed a strong relation with Hustedt's pH preference groups. The two new methods were then compared with existing calibration methods on the basis of differences between inferred and observed pH in a test set of 62 additional samples taken between 1918 and 1983. The methods were ranked in order of performance as follows (between brackets the standard error of inferred pH in pH units); maximum likelihood (0.63) > weighted averaging (0.71) = multiple regression using pH groups (0.71) = the Gasse & Tekaia method (0.71) > Renberg & Hellberg's Index B (0.83) » multiple regression using taxa (2.2). The standard errors are larger than those usually obtained from surface sediment samples. The relatively large standard may be due to seasonal variation and to the effects of other factors such as humus content. The maximum likelihood method is statistically rigorous and can in principle be extended to allow for additional environmental factors. It is computer intensive however. The weighted averaging approach is a good approximation to the maximum likelihood method and is recommended as a practical and robust alternative.
