Unravelling the fate of foliar-applied nickel in soybean : a comprehensive investigation

Additional Titles: Background and aims: Nickel (Ni) deficiency has been reported to occur in soybean (Glycine max) grown on leached tropical soils in Brazil. We aimed to determine whether an internal or external Ni supply can compensate for low Ni within the seed by assessing whether the amount of Ni in the seed whether the foliar-application of aqueous NiSO4 influenced the uptake of Ni by the leaf, the nutritional status of the plant, urease activity and growth. Methods: We used Ni-depleted seeds (<0.35 μg Ni per g) and Ni-sufficient seeds (11.1 μg Ni g−1) for hydroponic experiments. Seedlings were grown either with or without an external Ni supply (0 or 0.85 μM Ni in nutrient solution) and either with or without an internal Ni supply (with or cotyledons removed). In addition, we used synchrotron-based micro-X-ray fluorescence analysis to examine the distribution of foliar-applied Ni (50 and 100 mg L-1). Key results: Leaf Ni concentration and urease activity were both enhanced by increasing either the internal (cotyledon seed store) or external (solution) Ni supply. In addition, plants derived from Ni-depleted seed that received external Ni supply had 9.2% higher biomass relative to plants derived from Ni-sufficient seeds which received Ni. When foliar-applied, Ni accumulated in the pedicles of the trichomes within 15 minutes of application, and then moved to the vascular bundles before dispersing further into tissues within 3 hours. Conclusions: Trichomes are an important pathway for foliar Ni absorption in soybean, but there are still major knowledge gaps our understanding of the physiological function of trichomes in the uptake of metal ions from foliar micro-nutrient treatments.

Mosaic coexistence of two subalpine grassland types as a consequence of soil nutrient heterogeneity

Additional Titles: High-mountain areas often exhibit high soil heterogeneity, which allows for the close coexistence of plant species and communities with contrasting resource requirements. This study investigated the nutritional factors driving the mosaic distribution of Nardus stricta L. grasslands and chalk grasslands dominated by forbs in the subalpine southern Pyrenees (Spain). The concentrations of C, N, P, S, K, Ca and fiber fractions in herbage were analyzed in relation to soil nutrient availability; soil β-glucosidase, urease, phosphatase and arylsulfatase activities; and plant species and functional type compositions. The chalk grassland showed higher N:P ratios in herbage and higher enzyme demand for P relative to N in the soil, which indicates a greater limitation of P versus N compared to Nardus grassland. This limitation was related to the higher soil and plant Ca levels in the chalk grassland, where the calcareous bedrock lies close to the soil surface. In the Nardus grasslands, the alleviation of P limitation translated into increased productivity and the replacement of forbs with taller graminoids rich in structural carbohydrates, which was mirrored by greater β-D-glucosidase activity. The plant N:K and P:K ratios indicated potential K deficiency in both grasslands, which resulted from decreased uptake of K in competition with Ca, as indicated by the correlation between plant K and the soil K+:Ca2+ ratio. Our results highlight the effect of the heterogeneity of soil nutrient constraints, mediated by stoichiometry and dependent on microtopography, on the biodiversity of high-mountain ecosystems.
