In Chile, avocado (Persea americana Mill.) orchards are often located in poorly drained, low-oxygen soils, situation which limits fruit production and quality. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of injecting soil with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as a source of molecular oxygen, on plant water status, net CO2 assimilation, biomass a...

Context 1
... soil was obtained from a fallow hillside with typical soil characteristics of avocado orchards planted on hillsides. Physical characteristics of the soil are shown in Table 1. The soil was steam-sterilized and periodically treated with metalaxil and fosetyl-Al fungicides to avoid Phytophthora root damage. ...
Context 2
... a slight error in the irrigation rate or frequency may lead to continuous anaerobic conditions in the root zone (Letey, 1961;Blokhina et al., 2003). The physical soil characteristics measured in this experiment are summarized in Table 1. The mean air content in the soil was determined from this data as well as the mean gravimetric soil water content (θ) during the season (Table 1). ...
Context 3
... physical soil characteristics measured in this experiment are summarized in Table 1. The mean air content in the soil was determined from this data as well as the mean gravimetric soil water content (θ) during the season (Table 1). Both volumetric soil water content (ω) and θ (data not shown) were similar for each treatment throughout the experimental period. ...
Context 4
... plants in the present study were set in a loam clay-textured soil maintained near field capacity with average soil air content lower than 17% (Table 1), ODR never reached limit values for avocado (0.17 µg cm -2 min -1 , Stolzy et al., 1967). The mean ODR throughout the experimental period is shown in Table 2. ...

The main symptom of boron (B) deficiency in cotton is the formation of brown rings on leaf petioles. The objective of the present study was to determine the changes in the anatomical structure and chemical composition of petioles and photosynthesis of leaves in cotton under B deficiency. Compared to the control, B deficiency treatment resulted in l...
The interacting effects of stem decapitation, water-deficit stress, and pot size on the growth, morpho-anatomical, and physiological traits of Pterocarpus indicus seedlings were analyzed in this study. Changes in root collar diameter (RCD), biomass allocation, number of leaflets (NL), mean leaf area, guard cell size, stomatal aperture size, phloem...
Investigating plant responses to climate change is key to develop suitable adaptation strategies. However, whether changes in land management can alleviate increasing drought threats to crops in the future is still unclear.
We conducted a management × drought experiment with winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to study plant water and vegetative tr...
The widening of xylem vessels from tip to base of trees is an adaptation to minimize the hydraulic resistance of a long pathway. Given that parallel veins of monocot leaves do not branch hierarchically, vessels should also widen basipetally but, in addition to minimizing resistance, should also account for water volume lost to transpiration since t...
Cucumber is often affected by salinity due to its highly susceptible to soil salinity even at low
electrical conductivity in the saturated soil extract. This study found that cucumber grafting on salt
resistance rootstock of pumpkin can represent an interesting tool to alleviate reduce biomass and yield
losses caused by salinity stress. Grafted pla...
