List of top two experiments on mineral nutrition in plants:- 1. Detection of Essentiality of Mineral Elements 2. Determination of Ionic Accumulation (Chloride) in Plant Cells. Experiment # 1. Detection of Essentiality of Mineral Elements: On the basis of various experimental observations it has been noticed that a number of mineral elements are necessary for plant growth and development. They [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Meaning of Solute 2. Passive Absorption of Solute 3. Active Absorption 4. Ion Movement into the Root. Meaning of Solute: Besides water, the plant absorbs from the environment considerable quantities of mineral salts, gases and various other salts. All these are absorbed in the form of aqueous solutions. The mineral salts or [...]
In this article we will discuss about the translocation of solutes in plants. Upward Translocation of Solutes: Here the solutes or term mineral salt is used for those substances which contain nitrogen, sulphur and phosphorus in inorganic and organic combinations. The upward translocation of nitrogen, sulphur and phosphorus occurs in both organic and inorganic combination. Earlier this was universally agreed [...]
