The ice is rough, with frozen ripples here and there to trip you up, but Andy and I are good skaters, and we laugh when we come to a curved bridge and, bending low, shoot under and out the other side.
To investigate the physiological basis of low shoot Fe concentration in FL510, the oxidizing power of roots as a main factor in excluding Fe in the rhizosphere was investigated.
The lack of an effect of the seagrass meadows on the meiofauna can be explained by the relatively low shoot density and biomass of the studied seagrass meadows and/or higher macrobenthic predation on the vegetated bottom compared to bare sands.
The two members of Group 3 can be characterized as populations having a combination of high quercetin and flavonol glycoside accumulation together with small leaves and low shoot production (Table 3).
The Arabidopsis hma2 hmutanttant has a stunted phenotype and a distinctive ionomic profile, with low shoot levels of Zn, Cd, Co, K and Rb, and high shoot Cu.
More recently, it was demonstrated that OsHKT1 5 in rice [5] and the HKT1 5 gene from wheat [6] are crucial in maintaining low shoot Na+ concentrations via a similar mechanism of Na+ retrieval from the transpiration stream into cells within the stele.
