on the gaseous exchange of ammonia between leaves and the environment: determination of the ammonia compensation point. | whole shoots of phaseolus vulgaris l. and other species were exposed to a range of partial pressures of gaseous ammonia in air and the resulting fluxes were measured. net uptake is linear with partial pressure in the range 5 to 50 nanobars and is zero at a finite partial pressure, termed the ammonia compensation point. below the compensation point, ammonia (or possibly other volatile amines) is evolved by the leaves. the compensation points in several species are near the low partial pressures f ... | 1980 | 16661507 |
effect of glyphosate on intact bean plants (phaseolus vulgaris l.) and isolated cells. | whole bean (var. "eastern butterwax") plants and isolated cells were used to investigate possible mechanisms of action of glyphosate [n-(phosphonomethyl)glycine]. results showed that glyphosate was quickly absorbed by the whole plant but not by individual cells and that it caused a rapid reduction in leaf dry matter accumulation, leaf expansion, leaf angle, and stomatal aperture without affecting the water status of the plant. glyphosate also caused a rapid reduction in cellular uptake of (86)rb ... | 1980 | 16661497 |
zinc mediated effects on leaf co2 diffusion conductances and net photosynthesis in phaseolus vulgaris l. | supra-optimal levels of zinc in primary leaves of phaseolus vulgaris increased the co2 compensation point and inhibited net photosynthesis. leaf morphology was modified: mesophyll intercellular area, stomatal slit length and interstomatal distance were reduced, but stomatal density increased. internal and stomatal conductances to co2 diffusion decreased. these changes are discussed in relation to the observed effects on leaf gas exchange and to the previously reported inhibition of different pho ... | 1980 | 24470081 |
changing cell-wall compositions in hypocotyls of dark-grown bean seedlings. | hypocotyls of dark-grown 6-day-old seedlings of phaseolus vulgaris l. proved to be sufficiently homogeneous to permit studies relating the rate of cell elongation to the composition of the primary cell walls. whereas the levels of cellulose and uronic acids remained practically constant during and after cell extension, all other components showed major or minor changes. cell-wall protein, as such, decreased by more than 50%, but indications are that hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein increased wit ... | 1980 | 24306288 |
