Dynamics of nutrient remobilization during germination and early seedling development in wheat

Journal of Plant Nutrition (1998)

M. Moussavi-Nik John N. Pearson G. J. Hollamby Robin D. Graham

Abstract The changes in nutrient content of grain parts and seedling parts in wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv RAC655) were followed from germination to early seedling development (8 days). The grain was separated into seed coat, endosperm and embryo and the seedling into roots and shoots. The dry weight of the seed coat did not change throughout the experimental period whereas that of the endosperm rapidly declined from day 4 onwards. The seed coat contained the most nutrients of all grain parts, except for sulphur (S) and nitrogen (N). The endosperm contained between 20–35% of the total grain nutrients (except S, 50%). The embryo generally contained little nutrient, between 4–10%, except for zinc [(Zn) 20%], manganese [(Mn) 17%], and boron [(B) 13%]. Large amounts of potassium (K) were remobilized from the seed coat whereas no magnesium (Mg), Zn, copper (Cu), or B was remobilized. Nutrients were rapidly mobilized from the endosperm, particularly K and S. The shoots generally received a greater proportion of nutrients compared to the roots, except for Zn, Mn, and Cu which were distributed between them evenly. The dynamics of nutrient remobilization are discussed in relation to the distribution of nutrients within the grain and the consequences for early seedling vigor.

Investigation of vesicular – arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) on yield quantity and quality of sorghum cultivars under irrigation in arid area - eScholarship

M. Moussavi-Nik Ahmad Mehraban

Author(s): Moussavinik, Mohsen; Mehraban, Ahmad | Abstract: Vesicular – arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM)are beneficial microorganisms used in various industrial practices, such as mining, agriculture, and environmental rehabilitation. In the current experiments we studied the effects of different mycorrhizal fungi symbiosis with sorghum genotypes in the dryland area, Zabol , Iran. The results showed that there is significant differences between cultivar of sorghum and mycorrhiza on plant height, number of seed per spike, biomass, root colonization, plant growth and crop yield. Glomus etunicatum species were best mycorrhiza strain used in this research.

Effect of potasium, Zinc and Copper on vegative growth of two wheat cultivars under water stress

The Proceedings of the International Plant Nutrition Colloquium XVI (2009)

M. Moussavi-Nik Hamid Reza Mobasser

Author(s): Moussavinik, Mohsen; Mobasser, Hamid | Abstract: Wheat production is constrained in arid and semi arid areas, where water is the limiting factor for plant growth. This study investigated the effect of irrigation deficit at the end of the productive growth stage and utilization of P, Zn and Cu on biological yield, in two bread wheat cultivars. The result of this experiment demonstrate that irrigation deficit at the anthesis stage did not significantly effect leaf and stem dry weight in the anthesis and maturity stages.
