Responses of soil microorganisms to volatile exudates from germinating pea seeds

J. M. Norton; G. E. Harman Canadian Journal of Botany 1985. doi:10.1139/b85-142

Other claims from this paper (12)

Intervention effect Volatiles from aged pea seeds stimulated germination of sclerotia of Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotium rolfsii and subsequent hyphal growth.
Intervention effect Hyphae grew preferentially toward aged pea seeds.
Intervention effect Volatiles from aged seed significantly increased bacterial and fungal populations in natural soil.
Intervention effect Fusarium spp. populations increased 79% over their original levels after 48-h exposure to pea seed volatiles.
Intervention effect Pseudomonas spp. populations increased 2200% over their original levels after 48-h exposure to pea seed volatiles.
Intervention effect Pythium populations decreased in natural soils exposed to pea seed volatiles.
Intervention effect The seed-rotting potential of natural soil decreased after exposure to pea seed volatiles.
Intervention effect Pythium populations increased dramatically in autoclaved soils infested with P. ultimum after exposure to volatiles from aged pea seeds.
Intervention effect Pythium levels remained constant in soils infested with soil fungi and P. ultimum with time of exposure.
Intervention effect Pythium levels decreased in soils infested with bacteria and P. ultimum with time of exposure.
Intervention effect Exposure to volatiles from aged pea seeds stimulated soil microbial activity.
Mechanism Pythium germlings unable to reach a host are likely subjected to microbial antagonism by the native soil microflora.

Light-Stimulated Changes in the Acidity of Suspensions of Oat

Barbara M. Kelly 1983

Other claims from this paper (13)

Intervention effect Light induced alkalinization around oat leaf protoplasts.
Intervention effect Light stimulated subsequent acidification of the medium around oat leaf protoplasts.
Observation Blue light was less effective than photosynthetic action spectra predicted.
Intervention effect 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea prevented light-induced alkalinization.
Intervention effect 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea reduced acidification to the dark rate under all tested light regimes.
Association Alkalinization rose in parallel with initial oxygen evolution as white light flux rose to 75 microeinsteins per square meter per second.
Mechanism Authors attributed alkalinization to photosynthetic CO2 uptake.
Observation CO2 depletion mainly affected medium acidity in the first 15 minutes of light exposure.
Mechanism Later pH changes primarily reflected constant net proton efflux.
Observation Medium acidification occurred in darkness.
Association Increasing light raised acidification rates roughly in parallel with net oxygen efflux.
Mechanism Protoplasts could acidify the medium through nonphotosynthetic activity.
Mechanism Photosynthesis mediated light stimulation of acidification.

Other claims from this paper (8)

Intervention effect Mass selection for anther extrusion increased mean anther extrusion in successive generations.
Intervention effect Anther extrusion rose 19% per selection cycle relative to the original F3 bulk mean.
Intervention effect Natural selection did not increase anther extrusion.
Intervention effect Mass selection for seed set did not increase anther extrusion.
Intervention effect Two cycles of anther extrusion selection caused no significant adverse effects on heading date, plant height and grain yield.
Intervention effect Two cycles of anther extrusion selection caused no significant adverse effects on test weight and grain protein percentage.
Intervention effect Two cycles of seed set selection caused no significant adverse effects on heading date, plant height and grain yield.
Intervention effect Two cycles of seed set selection caused no significant adverse effects on test weight and grain protein percentage.

Association Plant density was negatively correlated with heads per plant and seeds per head.
Intervention effect Seed yield was reduced only at the lowest seeding rate.
Intervention effect Seed yields at row spacings of 23 or 30 cm were not different.
Mechanism Greater plant density at the lower row spacing was balanced by fewer heads per plant and seeds per head.
