<p><strong>Background</strong>: Radial oxygen release by wetland plants is a process that creates aerobic conditions in the sediment that enhance aerobic microbial activity. Such activity has a big impact on wetland environmental services. Little is known about radial oxygen release by native macrophytes of tropical wetlands.</p><p><strong>Study site</strong>: Veracruz, Mexico</p><p><strong>Research Questions</strong>: Which of the most abundant native macrophytes from tropical wetlands have the higher radial oxygen release? What is the effect of hydrological condition on radial oxygen release of the most abundant native wetlands plants of tropical wetlands?</p><p><strong>Methods</strong>: Root production, root porosity and Oxygen radial release were measured in 7 native macrophytes of tropical wetlands in Veracruz. The macrophytes were grown under three hydrological conditions: capillarity, saturation and flooding.</p><p><strong>Results</strong>: The species that produced more weight and volume of root (<em>Pontederia Sagittata, Sagitaria lancifolia y Thalia geniculata</em>) showed low radial oxygen released base on dry weight. Under flooding conditions, radial oxygen release per plant showed significant differences between the species, being <em>Typha dominguensis</em> the specie with the highest oxygen radial release (148 ±46 µmol O<sub>2</sub> d<sup>-1</sup>) and <em>Leersia ligularis</em> the plant with the lowest radial oxygen release (22 ±46 µmol O<sub>2</sub> d<sup>-1</sup>).</p><strong>Conclusion</strong>: Flooding conditions decreased root volume and weight of native macrophytes from Veracruz wetlands, also increased root porosity and in general stimulated higher radial oxygen release per plant, with significant differences among the studied plants, indicating that radial oxygen release depend of plant phenological characteristics and the hydrological conditions.

Melilotus siculus (common name messina) has shown potential as a productive annual forage legume in saline and waterlogged areas in temperate Australia. The salt and waterlogging tolerances of 30 M. siculus accessions were evaluated at germination and as established plants. Many accessions germinated at 240 mm NaCl, but germination was <15% at 320 mm NaCl. In vegetative plants, accessions differed in the degree of growth reduction at 300 mm NaCl, with some producing >90%, but others <20%, of non-saline controls. A negative relationship (r = 0.47, P < 0.001) was found between dry weight under non-saline conditions and relative salt tolerance (i.e. salt-treated as % of controls). Concentrations of Cl– and Na+ in shoots of all accessions increased significantly with increasing NaCl in the medium, although these differed among accessions. No relationships were found between shoot Cl–, Na+, or K+ concentrations and relative salt tolerance at 300 mm NaCl, whereas net K+ : Na+ selectivity to shoots was positively correlated with relative salt tolerance (r = 0.30, P = 0.1). All accessions showed good tolerance to stagnant, O2-deficient conditions in the root medium, and shoot growth was not reduced by >20% in any accession. Root porosity (% gas volume/root volume) in both the main and lateral roots increased in all accessions when in stagnant medium, but accessions differed in root porosity. Lateral root porosity was not, however, correlated with either shoot dry weight or root dry weight in stagnant conditions. No single accession of M. siculus had the highest tolerance to saline conditions both at germination and the vegetative stage, but some accessions (e.g. SA 40002 and SA 40004) performed consistently well under saline and waterlogged conditions. Further research and selection is warranted on these accessions with the aim to release a cultivar.

The field experiments with thirty genotypes were conducted during June to October month of kharif, 2018 and kharif, 2019, to assess extent of variability under aerobic condition. The genotypes were sown under dry direct seeded condition using randomized block design (RBD) with three replications. Each genotype was sown in single row of 5 m length with spacing of 20 cm between rows and 15 cm between plants. Data recorded for 22 characters including different morphological and quality traits from 5 randomly selected plants of each replication and mean data used for analysis. ANOVA revealed that the mean sum of squares were highly significant difference for most of the traits. The value of PCV was higher than GCV for all the twenty-two characters. However, maximum GCV and PCV were observed for root dry weight plant-1 (31.44% and 32.17%) followed grain yield plant-1 (29.97% and 31.03%), root volume (28.62% and 29.20%), root fresh weight plant-1 (28.51% and 29.08%), biological yield plant-1 (21.86% 22.50%) and number of grains panicle-1 (20.55% and 21.37%). Rest of the traits showed moderate and low GCV and PCV. High heritability and genetic advance were recorded for the traits viz., leaf length, number of tillers plant-1, number of grains panicle-1, 1000 seed weight, root length, root volume, root fresh weight plant-1, root dry weight plant-1, kernel length-breadth ratio, grain yield plant-1, biological yield plant-1 and harvest index. The information regarding different variability will provide direction to select high yielding genotypes under aerobic condition.

The research aims to study the change of morphology root characters of eight hybrid oil palms under iron toxicity (Fe). Field experiment done in arranged in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) two factors and three blocks as replications. The first factor was Fe concentration. It consists of two levels which are concentration 0µ.g-1 and concentration 600 µg.g-1 Fe. The second factor is the hybrid of oil palms which consists of eight hybrid oil palms as Yangambi, Avros, Langkat, PPKS 239, Simalungun, PPKS 718, PPKS 540 and Dumpy. Fe was applied by pouring FeSO4 solvent for 600 µg.g-1 500 ml.-1plant.-1day-1 on two months of plants after transplanting in the main nursery. Data were collected on root morphology and plant dry weight The data were analysis of variance (ANOVA) at 5% significanly, followed by Duncan's multiple range test (DMRT). The relationships by among variables were determined by correlation analysis. The results showed that Fe concentration 600 µg.g-1 inhibits relatively root growth rate, narrows surface area, reduces the diameter, and shrinks root volume of all hybrid oil palms tested. The slowing relatively root growth rate, narrowing of root surface area and root diameter also root volume shrinkage due to Fe stress. It was also shown that the dry weight of plants was inhibit by existing of Fe toxicity.

Seed of Viminaria juncea was collected from single plants in a range of habitats throughout SW. Australia and the resulting seedling progenies grown in sand culture in a glasshouse. Each set of seedlings displayed highly uniform shoot morphology regardless of growth conditions, but differed markedly from other progenies in branching habit and timing of the transition from juvenile spathulate and trifoliolate leaves to adult phyllodineous foliage. Root flooding inhibited growth of progenies of squat phyllodineous habit more than tall leafy types. Seedling growth responded linearly to increased phosphate supply (0.6-16.0 mg P/I). Percentage plant dry weight as nodules increased 2-3-fold with increasing phosphate but proportional mass as cluster (proteoid) roots declined sharply. Statistically significant differences between progenies in nodulation and cluster root production were evident in certain phosphate treatments. Extreme early phyllodineous and prolonged leafy morphotypes were selected from a mixed population of seedlings (parent seed pooled from 70 habitats) and their growth and water use recorded under continuous root flooding, mesic, or drought-simulating conditions. Leafy morphotypes outgrew phyllodineous counterparts in flooded or mesic conditions, but shed their leaflets when droughted and thereafter behaved as phyllodineous morphotypes. Water-use efficiencies were similar between morphotypes and treatments (range 2.58-2.74 g dry matter gain/l water used), except for flooded phyllodineous seedlings for which 2.16 g/l was recorded. The genecological significance of the data is discussed.

The biomechanical root flexibility in response to hydromechanical soil heterogeneity is the most determining factor of the root architecture which plays a paramount role in mycorrhizal infection and allows the seedlings to adapt to the environmental constraint. We examined the impact of five different hydromechanical medium properties (hydroponics, vermiculite, vermiculite-gravel, sawdust, and sand) on the morphology, physiology, and anatomy of Cedrus atlantica seedlings at a controlled growth chamber. The growth of the seedling is strongly stimulated by the hydroponic medium through the stimulation of the aerial part dry weight and the main root length. However, the sand medium increases the main root dry weight by the radial expanse stimulation at the level of the epidermis, vascular cylinder, and cortex and compensates the less root architecture by the stimulation of the xylem and phloem areas. In contrast to sand and hydroponic media, the sawdust medium stimulates the phloem/xylem ratio, the root architecture, and the short roots. The Pearson bilateral correlation shows that the aerial part dry weight is positively correlated with the permeability, porosity, and water-holding capacity and negatively with the bulk density and density at saturation, whereas the short root production is negatively correlated with the permeability and water-holding capacity. Hence, the hydromechanical characteristics of the soils must be taken into account in the reforestation and mycorrhization attempts.

This study was conducted to determine the morphological response of the regrowth of rejuvenated coffee (Coffea arabica L.) to varying timing and levels of application of Paclobutrazol (PBZ) [2RS, 3RS)-1-4 (-chlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-1, 2, 4-triazol-1-yl-penten-3-ol]. Plants applied with PBZ two months before cutting had delayed shoot emergence, were shorted and had bigger lateral brances but with comparable percent plant survival, vertical shoot stem characteristics, lateral branch morphology, leaf morphology and root volume and dry weight compared to those applied with PBZ one month before cutting. Regardless of timing of application, plants given 0.5 and 1.0 g a.i.PBZ/ m canopy span had shorter vertical shoots with shorter internodes, fewer and shorter lateral branches, smaller leaves, and bigger root volume but comarable plant survival, days to shoot emergence, vertical shoot stem diameter, number of nodes of lateral branches, number of leaves, LAI and root dry weight with the untreated plants.

One of the major objective of growth analysis data is to provide a basic understanding of some of the mechanisms that affect plant growth. This study was initiated to evaluate the effects on several growth parameters when plants are grown in an NFT system. Vine cuttings (15 cm length) of the sweetpotato cultivar ``Georgia Jet” was grown in a closed NFT system for a period of 120 days. Nutrient was supplied in a modified half-strength Hoagland's solution with a N:K ratio of 1:2.4. Destructive harvesting of plants occurred at 14 day intervals at which time plants were separated into their various component parts and analyzed for dry weight accumulation, leaf area index, crop growth rate, relative growth rate and net assimilation rate. Results showed dry weight distribution within the plant had a linear response for all component part evaluated. Greatest contributors to total plant dry weight was stem followed by leaves, fibrous roots, buds and flowers. However, once storage root production occurred it contributed the largest percentage to total plant dry weight. LAI was optimum at 80 days after planting (DAP) while CGR and RGR fluctuated throughout the growing season. Initially NAR was higher in foliage than storage roots but declined once storage root enlargement began, suggesting a translocation of assimilates to storage root.
