Field and laboratory studies were conducted in 2000 and 2001 to determine the feasibility of mass marking western corn rootworm adults, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, with RbCl in the field. Results showed that application of rubidium (Rb) in solution to both the soil (1 g Rb/plant) and
When the seminal root system of 14-day-old corn (Zea mays cv. Dekalb 202) was subjected to O(2) stress, nodal roots with well developed cortical air spaces (aerenchyma) grew into the deoxygenated solution. Microscopic examination showed that there was extensive breakdown of cells in the midcortex of
The effect of temperature upon ion uptake and respiration was investigated with excised roots of corn (Zea mays) and barley (Hordeum vulgare). A strong inhibition (Q(10) = 5 to 8) of ion uptake was observed at temperatures below 10 C. At higher temperatures more normal temperature dependencies
Apical segments of roots of corn (Zea mays, L.) were excised and mounted in experimental salt solutions containing (86)RbCl and CaCl(2). Xylem exudates were collected hourly beginning at the 21st hour. At the 24th hour, experimental solutions were replaced with solutions of other chlorides
Zearalenone (F-2), an estrogenic factor produced by a number of Fusarium spp., stimulates a leakage of electrolytes, β-cyanin and aminoacids from three plant tissues. F-2 inhibits rubidium uptake in roots of Zea mays L. and Beta vulgaris L. var. rubra. However the effect in the latter tissue is
