    Notes: Abstract Two potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivars (‘Astrid’ and ‘Bodenkraft’) differing in their nitrogen acquisition from the soil (Hunnius, 1981) were used in nutrient solutions to study the effect of increasing concentrations of nitrate (0.05; 0.5; 5.0 mol m-3) particularly on root growth and morphology. In each variety increasing nitrogen concentrations stimulated shoot growth more than root growth. At all nitrate concentrations, the variety with higher nitrogen acquisition (‘Astrid’) had a significantly larger root system. The larger root system of ‘Astrid’ compared to ‘Bodenkraft’ was particularly evident when surface area and total length of the roots, instead of root dry weight were used as parameters. The results stress the importance of root length and surface area for nitrogen acquisition from soils.

    Mechanical impedance increases aluminium tolerance of soybean (Glycine max) roots (1990)

    Notes: Abstract The effect of aluminium (Al) on root elongation was studied in solution culture and sand culture. Compared to solution culture, in sand culture a ten times higher Al supply was necessary to inhibit root elongation to a comparable degree. This was due to a much lower Al uptake into the 5 mm root tips in sand culture. Fe concentrations in root tips were also lower in sand culture. Ca concentrations were higher and less depressed by Al, whereas Mg and K concentrations were not affected by the culture substrate. Regressions of Al concentrations in root tips versus inhibition of root elongation by Al revealed root damage at lower Al concentrations in sand culture. The effect of culture substrate on Al tolerance was independent of N source and could also be shown in flowing solution culture with and without sand. The results indicate that mechanical impedance in sand culture decreased Al uptake. This may be due to enhanced exudation of organic complexors thus reducing activites of monomeric Al species.
