Very little is known about carinata and how mineral nutrients impact its growth, and more specifically, the sufficiency values for fertility over the plant’s growth cycle and life stages. This study explored the impacts that plant nutrients, specifically micronutrients, can have on the growth and development of carinata over its distinct life stages (rosette, bolting, flowering, and pod set). Plants were grown under varying micronutrient concentrations (0, 25, 50, 75, 87.5, and 100%) of a modified Hoagland’s solution. Data were collected on plant height, canopy diameter, leaf tissue mineral nutrient concentrations, and biomass. The results demonstrated that micronutrient fertility has profound impacts on the production of Brassica carinata during different life stages. Boron (B) exclusion had the greatest impact on the growth and reproduction of Brassica carinata, with the death of the apical meristem that resulted in a lack of siliques or seeds at the lowest rate. Optimal relative elemental leaf tissue concentrations varied among micronutrient fertility concentrations and life stages. Certain elements exhibited linear increases in nutrient leaf tissue accumulation as solution concentration increased without reaching a maximum concentration during specific life stages. Other life stages and/or elements produced distinct plateau leaf tissue mineral concentrations despite increasing fertility treatment concentrations such as B in the rosette stage (47.2–50.0 mg·kg−1), copper (Cu) (bolting stage at 6.62–7.57 mg·kg−1), zinc (Zn) (bolting stage at 27.47–39.87 and flowering at 33.98–43.50 mg·kg−1), molybdenum (Mo) (flowering stage at 2.42–3.23 mg·kg−1), and manganese (Mn) (bolting stage at 117.03–161.63 mg·kg−1). This work demonstrates that Brassica carinata has different fertility demands and will accumulate differing leaf tissue concentrations during its life stages. This work serves as a baseline for further uptake and portioning work for Brassica carinata.}, number={3}, journal={AGRICULTURE-BASEL}, publisher={MDPI AG}, author={Cockson, Paul and Veazie, Patrick and Davis, Matthew and Barajas, Gabby and Post, Angela and Crozier, Carl R. and Leon, Ramon G. and Patterson, Robert and Whipker, Brian E.}, year={2021}, month={Mar}, pages={221} }

However, their influences on total nitrogen accumulation, photosynthetic rate, root morphologies, and yields are not fully understood. We conducted two field experiments to (1) evaluate the effects of shading under different N treatments on photosynthetic parameters, root morphologies, total nutrient accumulation, and grain yields of rice; and (2) elucidate the relationship between total nutrient accumulation and root morphologies under different shading conditions and nitrogen treatments. Three nitrogen rates, three shading treatments, and three different rice cultivars were used in two field experiments. Double shading during the grain-filling stage decreased total nutrient accumulation, altered root morphological characteristics, and decreased yields in rice. There were also significant interaction effects between nitrogen and shading on photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, and total root length, root superficial area, and root volume. Significant interactions were found among cultivars and shading for photosynthetic rate and transpiration rate. Correlation analysis revealed that total nitrogen accumulation (TNA) and potassium accumulation (TKA) were significantly positively correlated with total root length, root superficial area, and root volume. N application could alleviate the detrimental effects of shading on total nutrient accumulation and grain yield in rice.}, journal={SCIENTIFIC REPORTS}, author={Pan, Shenggang and Liu, Haidong and Mo, Zhaowen and Patterson, Bob and Duan, Meiyang and Tian, Hua and Hu, Shuijing and Tang, Xiangru}, year={2016}, month={Aug} }

The genotypes were grown for 28 d in flowing hydroponic culture to minimize possible variations in physical or chemical constraints on root development and functioning. Root hydraulic conductance was determined in response to applied hydrostatic pressure to the solution inside a pressure vessel to induce solution flow through the root system to the nonpressurized cut‐stem surface. Almost twofold differences in hydraulic conductance of from 0.43 to $$0.79\times 10^{-7}$$ m3 s−1 MPa−1 among the six genotypes were statistically significant. External root surface area and surface area of the stele were determined as estimates of the dimensions of exodermal and endodermal Casparian bands as barriers to radial movement of water. Volume of the cortex was considered to be proportional to the possible resistance of the symplastic pathway through the cortical cells themselves. Abundance of large metaxylem elements with radii 20 μm or greater was determined for comparison of relative axial conductance through root sections. Root hydraulic conductivity based on external surface area, which ranged from 2.20 to $$3.82\times 10^{-7}$$ m s−1 MPa−1, did not account for a statistically significant portion of the genotypic difference in water conductance. The relationship between root hydraulic conductance and surface area of the stele, however, accounted for 35% of the genotypic variation in conductance. The endodermis thus appears to be a limiting barrier to water conductance with dimensions relative to the exodermis that vary among the genotypes. Although statistically significant differences occurred among the genotypes for cortex volume and relative axial conductance, these differences were not correlated with differences in conductance. The diversity among the six genotypes for root anatomical traits that apparently influence water movement through the root system under well‐watered conditions is sufficiently large to justify exploration of the relationship between root hydraulic conductance and performance of soybean under water‐limiting conditions.}, number={4}, journal={INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PLANT SCIENCES}, author={Rincon, CA and Raper, CD and Patterson, RP}, year={2003}, month={Jul}, pages={543–551} }

Merr.] yield in the Southeastern United States. The Plant Introduction 416937 (PI), which has lower yields than adapted cultivars under favorable conditions but a relatively lesser yield reduction under water-stress conditions, has been identified as a potential source of drought avoidance germplasm. It is unclear whether the mechanism of drought avoidance is associated with shoot or root. Also unclear is the effect of the PI's restricted yield potential on the extent of its yield reduction in response to a water stress. To determine the differences in response between the PI and an adapted cultivar, Deltapine 105, to reproductive sink size and water stress, inoculated PI and Deltapine plants were grown in sand-filled pots in controlled-environment chambers. The fixed rooting volume of the pot culture restricts the influence that genotypic differences in rooting patterns may have in accessing soil water.
