Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of Current Topics in Membranes focuses on metal transmembrane transporters and pumps, a recently discovered family of membrane proteins with many important roles in the physiology of living organisms. The book summarizes the most recent advances in the field of metal ion transport and provides a broad overview of the major classes of transporters involved in homeostasis of heavy metals. Various families of the transporters and metal specificities are discussed with the focus on the structural and mechanistic aspects of their function and regulation. The reader will access information obtained through a variety of approaches ranging from X-ray crystallography to cell biology and bioinformatics, which have been applied to transporters identified in diverse biological systems, such as pathogenic bacteria, plants, humans and others. Field is cutting-edge and a lot of the information is new to research community Wide breadth of topic coverage Contributors of high renown and expertise

This book was released on 2012-01-05 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future of agriculture strongly depends on our ability to enhance productivity without sacrificing long-term production potential. An ecologically and economically sustainable strategy is the application of microorganisms, such as the diverse bacterial species of plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB). The use of these bio-resources for the enhancement of crop productivity is gaining worldwide importance. "Bacteria in Agrobiology: Stress Management" covers the major aspects on PGPR in amelioration of both abiotic and biotic stresses. PGPR mediated in priming of plant defense reactions, nutrient availability and management in saline and cold environment, hormonal signaling, ACC deaminase and its role in ethylene regulation under harsh conditions are suitably described.

Book excerpt: Plant Analysis: An Interpretation Manual 2nd Edition is an easily accessible compilation of data summarising the range of nutrient concentration limits for crops, pastures, vegetables, fruit trees, vines, ornamentals and forest species. This information is valuable in assessing the effectiveness of fertiliser programs and for monitoring longer term changes in crop nutritional status. New to this edition: *Volume and scope of information accessed from the literature has expanded several-fold. Interpretation criteria for 294 species have been compiled in the tables from more than 1872 published papers. *New chapter on nutrient criteria for forest species. *Includes guidelines for collecting, handling and analysing plant material. An entire chapter is devoted to the identification of nutrient deficiency and toxicity symptoms.
Download or read book Micronutrient Deficiencies in Global Crop Production written by Brian J. Alloway and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-02-01 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A deficiency of one or more of the eight plant micronutrients (boron, chlorine, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, nickel and zinc) will adversely affect both the yield and quality of crops. Micronutrient deficiencies in crops occur in many parts of the world, at various scales (from one to millions of hectares), but differences in soil conditions, climate, crop genotypes and management, result in marked variations in their occurrence. The causes, effects and alleviation of micronutrient deficiencies in crops in: Australia, India, China, Turkey, the Near East, Africa, Europe, South America and the United States of America, are covered, and these are representative of most of the different conditions under which crops are grown anywhere in the world. Links between low contents of iodine, iron and zinc (human micronutrients) in staple grains and the incidence of human health problems are discussed, together with the ways in which the micronutrient content of food crops can be increased and their bioavailability to humans improved. Detailed treatment of topics, such as: soil types associated with deficiencies, soil testing and plant analysis, field experiments, innovative treatments, micronutrients in the subsoil, nutrient interactions, effects of changing cropping systems, micronutrient budgets and hidden deficiencies in various chapters provides depth to the broad coverage of the book. This book provides a valuable guide to the requirements of crops for plant micronutrients and the causes, occurrence and treatment of deficiencies. It is essential reading for many agronomy, plant nutrition and agricultural extension professionals.
Download or read book Selection Characterization and Genetic Analysis of Zinc accumulating Soil Bacteria written by Ruby J. Siegel and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Zinc is an essential nutrient for organisms, but at elevated concentrations zinc is toxic. Contamination of soil and water with toxic levels of zinc has been a growing problem since the Industrial Revolution. Historic mining in the Coeur d' Alene, Idaho area resulted in zinc levels of over 6000 ppm in local river bank and lake bottom soils. Soil bacteria are able to resist the toxicity of zinc and other metals in several ways that reduce metal mobility and bioavailability. The goal of this study was to develop methods for selection, characterization and genetic analysis of soil bacteria that accumulate zinc. Soil samples were collected from the zinc-laden banks of the Coeur d'Alene River and a non-contaminated site on the Eastern Washington University campus. The physical characteristics, zinc content, and native bacterial populations in the soils were analyzed. Soil microbial communities were selected and stimulated for high zinc tolerance by culture in 50-mL Zn/Cu electrolytic cell bioreactors. Highly zinc tolerant clones were selected from the resulting consortia on ZnSO4 gradient agar petri dishes. The zinc tolerance phenotypes of both native and in-vitro selected bacteria were studied on a novel microtiter plate zinc tolerance assay. Quantitative measures of zinc tolerance included the zinc minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and concentration inhibiting growth to 50% (IC50). The zinc accumulation capacity in eight zinc tolerant isolates was measured by growing pure cultures in broth with 300 ppm zinc, harvesting and washing the bacteria, then determining the zinc content by flame atomic absorption. The genes responsible for zinc tolerance and accumulation were sought through plasmid extractions and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) screening with primers for the gene encoding a known zinc-binding protein (PZPl). The zinc-contaminated Coeur d' Alene soils contained only a fraction of the culturable microbes observed in the campus soil. Few of the many types of native soil bacteria survived selection in the bioreactors, but those that did showed significantly greater zinc tolerance (p
