Several studies demonstrate that calcium (Ca) presents low mobility in the phloem, hence it is supplied to plant tissues mainly by the xylem. Since transpiration is the driving force of the xylem flow, Ca supply can be compromised in organs, such as fruits, which have low transpiration rate. Low productivity, disorders in fruits, and reduced shelf life are associated with Ca deficiency. T…
Although not essential for plants the lanthanum and cerium elements, both rare earth element (REE), are used as fertilizers in different crops, manly in China. Studies about this application have demonstrated greater yield in seeds germination, productivity, greater resistance to pathogens and increase in chlorophyll content. According to the consulted literature, the benefic effects prom…
One of the most important parameters in plants root exposure experiments to nanomaterials is the dispersion of the nanoparticles. The monitoring of this factor has been overlooked by most of the studies published so far. This project aims to develop a hydroponic system that prevents agglomeration of nanoparticles and allows the homogenization and control of nutrient solution quality. It …
The poor efficiency of calcium-based foliar fertilization is mainly associated with the low Ca2+ mobility in the phloem of plants. Since most of the Ca reaches upper plants tissues through root-to-shoot uptake, its supply is strongly reduced as the xylem loses its functionality in sink regions, e.g., fruits, thereby inducing several Ca-related physiological disorders, such as blossom end-…
Cerium is the main rare earth element (REE) used in agricultural context. It has been reported to promote photosynthesis and enhance carboxylation efficiency for soybean seedling after Ce spraying, and additionally controlling some features of its photosynthesis under UV-B stress. In addition to soluble forms, there is an increasing interest on REE nanoparticles. Some indicate benefic res…
