Fundamental parenchyma cells are involved in Na+ and Cl– removal ability in rice leaf sheath por Neang, Sarin, de Ocampo, Marjorie, Egdane, James A., Platten, John D., Ismail, Abdelbagi M., Skoulding, Nicola S., Kano-Nakata, Mana, Yamauchi, Akira, Mitsuya, Shiro

“…These results imply that the leaf sheath potentially functions to remove excess Na+ and Cl– from xylem vessels in different locations along the axis, with the fundamental parenchyma cells of leaf sheaths being involved in over-accumulation of both Na+ and Cl–.…”

Reduced-impact logging in Indonesian Borneo: some results confirming the need for new silvicultural prescriptions por Sist, P., Sheil, Douglas, Kartawinata, K., Priyadi, H.

“…CNV plots showed a higher proportion of measurements in the most open class than in RIL In mixed dipterocarp forest where harvestable timber density generally exceeds 10 trees/ha, a minimum diameter felling limit is clearly insufficient to keep extraction rates below 8 trees/ha. …”

Plant nutrient supply from nine agroforestry tree species to wheat (Triticum aestivum) analysed by vector diagnosis por Anthofer, J., Hanson, Jean, Jutzi, S.C.

“…In contrast, wheat seedlings treated with A. polyacantha and Entada abyssinica had at least some vectors in the toxic zone due to an excess of nutrients while Grevillea treated plants showed a typical toxicity response with large vectors for all nutrients in between the toxic and the antagonistic zone. …”

Inter-relationships between chemical constituents, rumen dry matter and nitrogen degradability in fresh leaves of multipurpose trees por Nsahlai, I.V., Siaw, D.E.K.A., Umunna, N.N.

“…Except for A saligna, synchronization indices of the release of nutrients for each accession ranged from perfect (0.93) to poor (-0.31) for soluble nutrients and from moderate (0.75) to very poor (-0.81) for insoluble slowly degradable nutrients because N was in excess. Inter-relationships among chemical constituents, DM and N degradation constants were established using correlation and regression analyses. …”
