Quick Bibliography Series Bibliographies in the Quick Bibliography Series of the
National Agricultural Library, are intended primarily for
current awareness, and as the title of the series implies, are
not indepth exhaustive bibliographies on any given subject.
However, the citations are a substantial resource for recent
investigations on a given topic. They also serve the purpose
of bringing the literature of agriculture to the interested
user who, in many cases, could not access it by any other
means. The bibliographies are derived from computerized on-
line searches of the AGRICOLA data base. Timeliness of topic
and evidence of extensive interest are the selection criteria.
The author/searcher determines the purpose, length, and search
strategy of the Quick Bibliography. Information regarding
these is available upon request from the author/searcher.

Abstract: Boron isotope ratios (11B/10B) for commercial
produce ranged from a high of 4.162 +/- 0.003 for cabbage to a
low of 4.013 +/- 0.008 for whole wheat flour. The observed
isotope ratios for produce fall within the range reported for
boron-containing minerals. Cucumbers and flour are 10B
enriched; bananas, cabbage, celery, grapes, green peppers,
lettuce, oranges, potatoes, and tomatoes are 11B enriched by
at least 0.02; apples, broccoli, cantaloupe, and carrots are
equal to NIST SRM-951 boric acid isotopic standard. Boron
isotope ratios (11B/10B) were measured for broccoli and
cabbage grown in a soilless medium, 4.018 +/- 0.016 and 4.032
+/- 0.003, in a soilless medium with foliar-applied H3 1OBO3,
1.848 +/- 0.009 and 1.746+/- 0.004, and in a hydroponic
solution with H3 1OBO3 as the only boron source, 0.126 +/-
0.012 and 0.098 +/- 0.005.

Boron requirements of strawberry (Fragaria ananassa L. cv.

Requirements
Abstract: Knowledge of the micronutrient requirements of
strawberries is rather scarce. This plant species is
considered to have low sensitivity to boron deficiency. In our
work several aspects of B requirements of Fragaria ananassa L.
cv. Douglas have been studied. Strawberries were grown in an
automated greenhouse and in aerated nutrient solution with
(+B) and with (-B) boron supply. The experiment started when
fresh plants were transferred from the nursery to 4-litres
pots (5 plants per pot) following the cultivation steps of a
typical commercial production in Spain. Plant material (shoot
and root) was sampled every two weeks after a gap of one
month. Simulaneously, nutrient solutions were analyzed and
renewed. B concentration in the n utrient solutions of both +B
and -B increased during the 2-weeks period of culture. This
increase was initially high but became smaller in successive
periods. Boron content was higher in +B leaves than in -B
ones. Nevertheless neither visula symptoms of B deficiency,
nor reduction in growth in yield were observed in -B plants
during the 4 months of the experiment. The lower boron
concentration of young leaves in comparison with older ones
would suggest a continuous supply of B from the root and a
weak capacity of redistribution of the microelement via the
phloem. In conclusion it appears that the large amount of
boron stored mostly in the root at the beginning of the assay
would be sufficient to cover the low B requirements of the
strawberry plant studied.

Abstract: Tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) of
the F1 hybrid variety Turbo were grown in a NFT system for 22
days. On days 16 and 20-22 inclusive of the experiment, the
diurnal variation in nitrate (NO3), potassium (K), and water
uptake rates were measured. Nitrate and K uptake rates were
subject to large diurnal variation with maximum uptake rates
occurring during the day period. Two peaks of diurnal uptake
rates were identified, one large peak during the day period
and a second much smaller one during the first 2-4 hours of
the night. Under the conditions of the experiment, night
nutrition made up 35 to 40% of the total daily uptake of K and
NO3. Water uptake rates followed a diurnal oscillation with a
single peak pattern. Highest rates occurred at the middle of
the photoperiod and lowest rates were measured at night. Over
the entire day and night cycle there was no correlation
between the rates of water and nutrient uptake. This may be of
importance in the fertilization of hydroponically grown plants
since in horticultural practice nutrients and water are
supplied together in quantities large enough to meet plant
water demand but not nutrient requirements.

Abstract: An algorithm was developed to select a economically
optimum temperature trajectory for greenhouse hydroponic
lettuce production. Daily air temperature was selected to
maximize he difference beween crop worth and cost to heat. To
select an optimum temperature, crop worth was determined for a
range of possible inside temperatures by projecting crop
growth forward to harvest using expected values of weather
variables based on historical weather data. After an optimum
temperature for the day in question was selected, the status
of the lettuce crop was updated based upon the selected
temperature and the day's actual weather data.

Abstract: Results of simulations from a computer model
developed to determine economically optimum day temperature
for greenhouse hydroponic lettuce production are presented.
Selected optimum air temperature is a function of many factors
including available insolation, stage of growth of the crop,
length of the growing period, lettuce worth, and fuel costs.
Potential savings due to production at optimum day
temperatures compared to standard temperatures were estimated
based on simulation of five years of operation. Potential
savings vary depending on fuel cost and whether the greenhouse
is operated such that only plants of the same age are present
or such that many age groups are present simultaneously.
Savings varied form 10 to 30% of the heating costs.

Abstract: In addition to essential inorganic nutrients,
plants may need other organic substances as they have grown in
soil. The capacity of microorganisms to synthesize biotic
substances in a soil has been for a long time. Of these
substances, a B-group of vitamins (Thiamine, Nicotinic acid,
and Pyridoxine) and amino acid (cysteine) were selected as
good source of nutrition for the plants. Present paper shows
the effect of the addition of a mixture of these organic
substances and iron to the nutrient solution on the growth and
nutrient uptake in cut-flower chrysanthemum in the nutrient
film technique system. A mixture of these substances added to
the basal nutrient solution had a marked effect upon the
growth and uptake of inorganic nutrients in chrysanthemum
plant. Leaf green color was intensified by the treatment of
liquid fertilizer containing thiamine, iron, and cysteine. As
a side effect, these substances gave resistance of plants to
unfavorable conditions.

Abstract: Butterhead lettuce (var. Gloria) were grown in an
evaporatively cooled glasshouse using the nutrient film
technique (NFT). During the day all plants received a complete
nutrient solution (EC 2 dS/m). Treatments were imposed at
night and included: complete nutrient solution (control); tap
water (EC 0.19 dS/m); and calcium nitrate solutions containing
either 100 mg Ca/L (EC 0.80 dS/m), or 200 mg Ca/L (EC 1.45
dS/m). Tipburn occurred in the control and its incidence was
reduced by the other treatments. This effect was associated
with an increase in the concentration of calcium in new
leaves, except in the water treatment. The night treatments
did not affect the fresh weight of mature lettuce. Circulation
of either water or calcium nitrate (100 mg Ca/L) at night may,
therefore, be a commercially acceptable means of reducing
tipburn losses in lettuce crops grown using hydroponics.

Abstract: Butterhead and cos type lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.)
.cv. "Bellona" and "Paris cos island" respectively, were grown
in nutrient film culture, under various electrical
conductivity levels (1.5-2.0-2.5-3.0-4.0-5.0 mS). Fresh and
dry weights of shoots and roots were measured for their
seasonal growth, over a period from October to May, under an
unheated glasshouse. For both cultivars the overall effect of
solution conductivity on shoot fresh weight, was minor.
Increases in conductivity resulted in increased root dry
weight.

Abstract: Hydroponically grown mung bean seedlings were
inoculated with macroconidia of Fusarium solani f. sp.
phaseoli to evaluate the effects of temperature (15, 20, 25,
30, and 35 C) and hydrogen ion concentration (pH 3, 4, 5, 6,
and 7) on spore attachment to roots of Vigna radiata.
Macroconidia of F. s. phaseoli attached to second-order roots
with root hairs in greater numbers than to those without root
hairs or to roots of other orders. Attachment of macroconidia
to second-order roots was greatest at 20-30 C and pH 4 but
decreased by up to two orders of magnitude when the
temperature of the nutrient solution was increased to 35 C or
the pH elevated to 7. The binding reaction of macroconidia to
roots was observed to be reversible when plants inoculated at
25 C and pH 5 were transferred to nutrient solutions
maintained at 35 C or pH 7. Plant fresh weights of V. radiata
decreased with increasing inoculum density when plants were
inoculated and maintained at 20 or 25 C but not at 30 C.
Differences in plant fresh weights of V. radiata between
inoculated and uninoculated plants were greatest at 20 C,
decreased at 25 C, and were not observed at 30 C. In a
separate experiment, plant roots were exposed to inoculum for
24 h at 24 C and pH 4, 5, 6, or 7. The nutrient solutions of
each treatment were then adjusted to and maintained at pH 6
for an additional 13 days. Disease was greatest when roots
were inoculated at pH 4 as compared to pH 5 or 6. Plants
inoculated at pH 7 were not different from uninoculated
plants. Differences in disease among plants inoculated at
different hydrogen ion concentrations are explicable when
based on the effects of hydrogen ion concentration on the
attachment of macroconidia to root surfaces. Differences in
disease among plants inoculated at different temperatures
between 20 and 30 C are not explicable when based on the
effects of temperature on spore attachment to roots or on
growth of the pathogen. We propose that differences in disease

Abstract: Sweet potato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.] is among
eight crops selected by NASA for its Controlled Ecological
Life Support Systems (CELSS) program. This research evaluated
sweet potato genotypes for adaptability to hydroponic systems.
Fourteen sweet potato genotypes were grown hydroponically
using nutrient film technique (NFT) systems. Four vine
cuttings from each genotype were spaced at 25 cm and grown for
120 d using 14 NFT channels (0.15 by 0.15 by 1.2 m) supplied
with a modified half-Hoagland nutrient solution. Genotypes
responded differently to growth in NFT. 'Jewel' produced the
highest mean total storage-root yield of 470 g per plant.
Individual plant yields ranged from 767 g for 'Centennial' to
36 g for 'Bunch'. Inverse relationships between foliage weight
and storage-root yield were obtained with 11 genotypes. Edible
biomass indices were comparable to those of potato (Solanum
tuberosum L.) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.), and higher than
those of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and soybean [Glycine max
(L.) Merr.]. Based on their performance, Jewel, 'Carver',
TU-52, and Centennial sweet potato appear well adapted to
growing in NFT.

Abstract: We have developed a flow-through system (FTS) to
study the effects of root restriction stress on plants grown
in hydroponic culture. The system was designed to permit the
use of varied culture container volumes (from 25 to 1500 cm3)
and dimensions (2.5 to 10 cm. dia. and 5 to 20 cm h.). The
modular FTS design is divided into two nutrient delivery
systems, one for large-volume containers and the other for
small-volume containers. Each plant was grown in a modified
Hoagland solution in a separate container. Nutrient solutions
were aerated and the pH was automatically controlled at 6.0 +/-
0.2. This report describes the FTS and presents growth data
for tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill., cv. 'Better
Bush') grown for a 57 day period. Our observations, when
compared to the findings of a root restriction study made by
Ruff, et al. 1987 (J. Amer. Soc. Hort. Sci. 112: 763-769),
indicate that that similar characteristics result for the same
tomato cultivar grown in either pot culture (soil) or
hydroponics (FTS). The result of this test of the FTS supports
the continued use of the system to study various physiological
and hormonal parameters in relation to root restriction.

Abstract: During the 1987-1988 and 1988-89 growing season an
experiment was conducted in a cold plastic greenhouse of our
Institute aiming to evaluate five substrates in two vertical
systems with respect to their suitability for growing
strawberries. The following substrates were evaluated: a.
perlite 100%, b. perlite 90% + peat 10%, c. perlite 80% + peat
20%, d. pumice-stone 80% + peat 20%, e. pumice-stone 80% +
perlite 20%. They were placed either in polyethylene tubes,
1.70 m height and 0.15 m diameter in a vartical position, or
in pots of polystyrene placed one above the other in a column
1.70 m in height. In both cases, 36 plants of the strawberry
cultivar Brighton were planted in each column in August. A
system for recycling the nutrient solution was applied. Yield
was collected from December until June. About 65% of the yield
was taken until the end of April. Data obtained indicate that
strawberries grown on substrate composed of perlite 80% + peat
20% produced higher yield (250 gr/plant) than those gorwn on
the other substrates. There was no difference between
polystyrene pots and polyethylene tubes with respect to yield.

Abstract: The development of the hydroponic perlite culture
system of protected crop production at the West of Scotland
College has been based, hitherto, or coarse, 'horticultural-
grade' expanded perlite which has 90% by volume in the range
1-5 mm. Recent work has compared crop performance of
glasshouse tomatoes in horticultural-grade perlite with that
in two Sardinian plaster-grades which have much finer
particle-size distributions, one with 90% by volume in the
range 0.6-1.4 mm, the other 90% volume <1 mm. Cumulative
yields of fruit were similar in each of the three grades of
perlite to the end of Ausust in 1987 and to the end of
September in 1988. Hence, although the air-filled porosity of
the Sardinian plaster-grade perlite was lower than either the
medium or horticultural-grade material, oxygen availability at
the root surface did not limit root function.

Abstract: Three hydroponic systems, namely rockwool, perlite
and NFT, are described. Factors affecting growth such as root
temperature, water quality and aeration are discussed,
together with management problems including sterilization
between crops. Current sensitivity about environmental
pollution is likely to cause some reduction in the use of
systems that discharge nutrient solutions containing
appreciable amounts of nitrate-nitrogen to waste.

Abstract: A highly specific and sensitive ELISA method was
developed for the detection and semi-quantitative
determination of artemisinin and its structurally related
compounds in crude extracts of Artemisia annua. The antibodies
were raised in rabbits using a 10-succinyldihydroartemisinin-
BSA conjugate as immunogen. The peroxide linkage in the
artemisinin molecule was critical in determining the antibody
specificity. The working range of the assay was from 0.02 to
10 ng per assay. The cross-reacting material in crude plant
extracts was evaluated by chromatographic methods combined
with the immunoassay method. The distribution of artemisinin
equivalents in five-week-old A. annua plants cultivated in
hydroponic conditions was investigated. The highest
artemisinin equivalent content (1.12% dry wt) was found in the
leaves of the upper parts of the plant.

Abstract: Dihaploid Solanum tuberosum and diploid S.
microdontum plants were grown in soil and hydroponics under
glasshouse and growth room conditions. A high light intensity,
was necessary for flower induction in both species and the
dihaploid flowered only when grown in hydroponics. Premature
berry abscission was retarded by tuber removal and prevented
by the addition of indole acetic acid to the nutrient
solution. Seeds from prematurely abscised berries germinated
poorly in soil, but germinated almost as well as those seeds
from indole acetic acid-treated plants when placed on
Murashige and Skoog (1962) based culture medium. The hybrid
plants were intermediate in morphology, compared to the
parents, possessed heterotic vigour and were male fertile.
Germinating hybrid seeds on a colchicine-containing medium led
to poorly growing plants with ploidy chimeras. Hybrid plant
ploidy levels were doubled by regenerating plants from
stem/leaf explants on the tuber disc regeneration medium of
Jarret et al. (1980).

Abstract: The morphology and hydraulic conductivity of root
systems of Gleditsia triacanthos L. var. inermis Willd. (honey
locust) grown hydroponically in sand and solution cultures
were compared. Total root system length was similar in the two
cultures. However, root systems grown in solution had longer
primary roots, fewer lateral roots and root hairs, and a
greater distance between the tip of the primary root and the
junction of the youngest secondary root and the primary root
than root systems grown in sand. Hydraulic conductivities of
root systems grown hydroponically for 21 or 35 days in sand or
solution culture were similar. These findings show that
different methods of hydroponic culture can affect root
morphology without altering root resistance to water
transport.

Abstract: It is possible to restrict the vegetative growth of
early protected tomato crops, growing in the nutrient film
technique (NFT) water culture, by supplying the nutrient
solution intermittently instead of continuous flow.
Intermittent flow regime given up to anthesis of the fourth
truss, increased early yield but did not increase the final
total yield. There was a highly significant decrease in root
fresh weight. Also, a reduction in all intermittent treatment
of water consumption 22%, was noticed under the intermittent
flow. The water use efficiency calculated on the basis of
fresh and dry weights increased under intermittent treatments.

Abstract: Sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam] is being
grown with the nutrient film technique as part of the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration's Controlled Ecological
Life Support System (CELSS) program for long-termed manned
space missions. Our objective was to evaluate the effects of
two levels of photosynthetic photon flux (480 and 960
micromoles m(-2)s(-1) PPF) and three N/K ratios (1:1.1, 1:2.4,
and 1:3.6) on yield of sweetpotato when grown using this
technique. Vine cuttings (15-cm length) of 'Georgia Jet' and
T1-155 were grown in each treatment for 90 or 120 d,
respectively, in controlled-environment growth chambers.
Storage root growth for Georgia Jet and T1-155 increased with
light intensity, while foliage growth decreased with high K
levels. The number of storage roots produced by each plant
increased with intensity only for Georgia Jet but was not
significantly influenced by higher K levels for either
cultivar. Light by N/K interactions were not significant. The
level of PPF exerted a greater effect in enhancing sweetpotato
storage root yield in nutrient film than did N/K ratio.

Abstract: Development of the use of perlite in horticulture
has been carried out at the West of Scotland College over a
period of more than ten years. Recent work in collaboration
with The Perlite Institute, Inc. has led to the development of
commercially applicable techniques. The outstanding features
of the system include ease of water management and optimum
air:water balance, because perlite substrate is initially
sterile, chemically inert and physically stable. Simple
irrigation design of one inlet per row of plants makes the
system suitable for low-technology conditions which exist in
many parts of the world.

Abstract: We describe the mechanical, electronic, hydraulic,
and structural design of a nonrecirculating hydroponic system.
The system is particularly suited to studies at very low
nutrient concentrations, for which on-line concentration
monitoring methods either do not exist or are costly and
limited to monitoring relatively few individual plants.
Solutions are mixed automatically to chosen concentrations,
which can be set differently for every pump fed from a master
supply of deionized water and nutrient concentrates. Pumping
rates can be varied over a 50-fold range, up to 400 liters per
day, which suffices to maintain a number of large, post-
seedling plants in rapid growth at (sub)micromolar levels of N
and P. The outflow of each pump is divided among as many as 12
separate root chambers. In each chamber one may monitor uptake
by individual plant roots or segments thereof, by measuring
nutrient depletion in batch samples of solution. The system is
constructed from nontoxic materials that do not adsorb
nutrient ions; no transient shifts of nitrate and phosphate
concentrations are observable at the submicromolar level.
Nonrecirculation of solutions limits problems of pH shifts,
microbial contamination, and cumulative imbalances in
unmonitored nutrients. We note several disadvantages,
principally related to high consumption of deionized water and
solutes. The reciprocating pumps can be constructed
inexpensively, particularly by the researcher. We also report
previously unattainable control of passive temperature rise of
chambers exposed to full sunlight, by use of white epoxy
paint.

Abstract: Water culture experiments are described which
provide conclusive evidence that Mo uptake by tomato plants is
markedly enhanced by P deficiency. In a longterm experiment,
which ran for 11 days, in marked contrast to the uptake of
other nutrients, a three fold higher Mo uptake rate was
observed after only four days of withdrawal of P from the
nutrient medium. In contrast to the gradual increase in pH of
the nutrient medium of the plants supplied with P, the pH in
the medium of the -P plants fell. Throughout the growth of
these plants net H+ efflux could be accounted for by excess
cation over anion uptake, indicating that organic acid
extrusion plays no major role in the observed fall in pH.
Further evidence that Mo uptake is enhanced in P deficient
tomato plants is provided in short-term nutrient solution
experiments (1h and 4h) using radioactive molybdenum (99Mo).
Compared with P sufficient plants, the uptake rates of 99Mo by
P deficient plants were three to five times higher after 1h
and nine to twelve times higher after 4h. Resupplying P during
the uptake periods to deficient plants reduced the uptake rate
of 99Mo to values similar to those of P sufficient plants. It
is concluded that the uptake of molybdate occurs via phosphate
binding/ transporting sites at the plasma membrane of root
cells. Further support for this conclusion comes from exchange
experiments with non-labelled molybdenum, which show a much
larger amount of 99Mo exchangeable from the roots of P
deficient plants.

for 42 days in sloping shallow trays containing a 1 cm layer
of quartz gravel with a continuous flow of 4 ml min(-1) of
nutrient solutions having K concentrations of 0.10, 0.55,
1.59, 3.16, 6.44, 9.77 meq L(-1). Plant leaf area, total and
tuber dry weights were reduced over 25% at 0.10 meq L(-1) of K
and over 17% at 9.77 meq L(-1) of K compared to concentrations
of 0.55, 1.59, 3.16 and 6.44 meq L(-1) of K. Gas exchange
measurements on leaflets in situ after 39 days of growth
demonstrated no significant differences among different K
treatments in CO2 assimilation rate, stomatal conductance,
intercellular CO2 concentration, and transpiration. Further
measurements made only on plants grown at 0.10, 1.59, 6.44 meq
L(-1) of K showed similar responses of CO2 assimilation rate
to different intercellular CO2 concentrations. This suggested
that the photosynthetic systems were not affected by different
K nutrition. The leaves of plants accumulated about 60% less K
at 0.10 meq L(-1) of K than at higher K concentrations.
However, Ca and Mg levels in the leaves were higher at 0.10
meq L(-1) of K than at higher K concentrations. This indicates
that low K nutrition not only reduced plant growth, but also
affected nutrient balance between major cations.

Abstract: A recirculating resin-buffered hydroponic system
was developed to control the activities of nutrient ions in
solution at concentrations similar to those found in soil
solution. The recirculating hydroponic system was designed to
supply adequate buffering and timely replenishment of
nutrients during the course of long-term experiments. Nutrient
solution was recharged by circulating it through columns of
ion exchange and chelating resins before its return to plant
culture vessels. The recirculating resin-buffered system
consisted of four different types of ion exchange and
chelating resins housed in separate columns: strong-acid resin
to buffer Ca, Mg, K and Mn in solution; weak-acid resin to
buffer pH; partially-neutralized Al on strong-acid resin to
buffer P in solution; and chelating resin to buffer Zn, Cu,
Mn, and Ni and to supply Fe to EDDHA in solution. Control of
nutrients and pH was begun at the time of seed germination.
The recirculating resin-buffered system was especially
designed to limit Ni contamination in studies of the
essentiality of Ni in higher plants. Concentrations of Ni2+ is
solution were successfully maintained at treatment levels that
differed by four orders of magnitude, with the lowest level <
10(-14) M. The exchange resins maintained the supply and
activities of other nutrients at levels sufficient for the
growth of plants. Tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum
Mill., cv. Wisconsin 55) were successfully grown for six weeks
without discarding the nutrient solution in which the plants
grew. The pH of recirculating nutrient solutions was well
maintained throughout the study. Guard columns protected the
primary resin columns from plugging and were replaced during
the course of this study to restore flow rates of the nutrient
solutions. Maintenance of flow rates, in conjunction with
successful reloading of resins with nutrients, assures the
feasibility of even longer term plant culture experiments.

Abstract: Root characteristics of wheat (Triticum aestivum
L.) genotypes are believed to be important in tolerance to
drought and flooding, yet neither the extent of differences in
root size among modern soft red wheat cultivars nor the degree
of association between root size and drought or flooding
tolerance is known. This study was conducted to see whether
genotypes differ in root size, and to see if root size is
associated with tolerance to flooded soil and to drought
during early vegetative growth. We found differences in root
fresh weight (RFW), shoot fresh weight (SFW), number of roots
longer than 40 cm (NR), longest root length (LRL) and total
root length (TRL) of 40 winter wheat genotypes grown in
hydroponic culture for 4 wk. Each of these parameters was
positively correlated with all others. Twelve genotypes with
different root sizes selected from these 40 were grown in a
greenhouse soil experiment for 3 wk, after which soil moisture
treatments of control, flooding, and drought were imposed for
a period of 21 d. Flooding did not affect SFW and number of
tillers (NT), but decreased RFW. Drought drastically decreased
all three parameters. The genotype X moisture treatment
interactions for SFW, RFW, and NT were significant. Root and
shoot growth of these genotypes in hydroponic culture were
correlated to their root and shoot growth under both control
and flooded conditions, but not under drought. Thus, it
appears that the expression of genotypic root growth potential
may be influenced by the availability of soil moisture, and
that selection of wheat seedlings for vigorous growth in
hydroponic culture will select for vigorous early growth in
soil with adequate or excess moisture, but not under severe
drought.

Abstract: The effects of increased salinity [NaCl + CaCl2] on
seedling of three tepary and four common bean cultivars/lines,
of known resistance and susceptibility at germination stage,
grown for thirty-eight-days in salinized hydroponic and sand
cultures were assessed at electrical conductivity (EC) of 1.89
(control), 4.00, 8.00, and 12.00 dS/m of half strength
Hoagland solution inside a glasshouse at 30/25 +/- 2 degrees C
day/night temperature. The hydroponic culture screening method
was more severe than the sand culture method. Common bean
cultivars/lines expressed genetic variability to salinity
stress at thirty-eight-days old seedlings. 'Badrieh' was
tolerant to salinity as the tolerant tepary bean T#1 line
under sand culture. However, this was not evident under
hydroponic culture. T#1 showed salinity injury symptoms at EC
= 4 dS/m, while 'Badrieh' showed no salinity injury symptoms
at EC = 4 dS/m. These results indicate that the mechanisms
involved for tolerating salinity in the tepary could be
different from that involved in common beans. Inverse and
significant correlations between salinity injury symptoms and
several root and shoot characters were evident from the data,
indicating that variation in whole-plant foliar injury
symptoms to salinity would thus seem to provide the best means
of initial selection of salinity tolerant genotypes by plant
breeders.

Abstract: Commercial recommendations exist for using short-
term salt-shocks on tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) to
improve fruit quality. Six experiments were conducted to 1)
assess the influence of nutrient concentration and short-term
salt-shocks on fruit quality and yield and 2) identify a
vegetative predictor of subsequent fruit quality. The first
objective was addressed in three nutrient film technique (NFT)
experiments (Expts. 1-3). Four treatments were applied: two
maintained constant at two baseline concentrations (0.25X and
1X-commercial level) and two provided salt-shock periods of 30
min, twice daily. There were no effects of baseline
concentration or salt-shocks on total number and weight of
marketable fruit. Fruit quality was better at the 1X baseline
concentration as observed by higher titratable acidity (Expt.
2), higher percent dry matter (Expts. 2 and 3), higher soluble
solids concentration (Expt. 2), and lower pH (Expts. 2 and 3),
however, weight per marketable fruit was lower (Expt. 2).
Salt-shocks had little effect on fruit quality, refuting its
commercial potential. Salt-shocks decreased fruit pH (Expts. 1
and 3). However, titratable acidity increased at the 0.25X
level and decreased at the 1X level (Expt. 3). In Expt. 2, but
not in Expt. 3, citrate concentration in the fifth leaf from
the apex of young vegetative plants was correlated with
subsequent fruit quality. Three additional experiments in
static hydroponics with vegetative plants showed no
significant differences in leaf citrate levels due to a
single, short-term salt-shock. Thus, citrate is not a good
predictor of fruit quality.

Abstract: Defruited cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) plants were
grown hydroponically for 28 days in containers with 4.5 liters
of capacity, in which constant solution depths of 1, 5, 50,
and 170 mm were maintained. The plants grown in the 1- and 5-
mm-deep solutions grew more slowly than those in the deeper
solutions. Both root and shoot growth were reduced at the
shallow depths, but shoot growth was affected more than root
growth. Thus, the shoot : root ratios were considerably
smaller in the shallower than in the deeper solutions. The
root systems in the shallower solutions, initially, were
relatively more branched than in the deeper solutions. The
shallow solutions caused the plants to allocate a higher
proportion of their photosynthetic resources to the root at
the expense of leaf growth. In the shallow solutions, a
progressively higher proportion of this root growth became
exposed above the solution, and, therefore, could not
contribute to the absorption of water and nutrients. Control

Abstract: A hydroponic culture system that enables ready
production and retrieval of freshly hatched, infective root-
knot nematode juveniles was developed. Meloidogyne javanica-
infected tomato plants produced at least 100,000 juveniles per
day for as long as 3 mo. Juveniles reinfected roots within the
culture system, which possibly accounts for the extended
period of production. The hydroponically grown nematodes
retained characteristic infectivity and host range. This
culture system is useful when a cohort of uniform-age
juveniles is required or for analyses in which high numbers of
nematodes are needed.

Tillering, leaf expansion and growth of plants of two

Abstract: Tillering and growth parameters of perennial
ryegrass cultivars Wendy (diploid) and Condesa (tetraploid)
were determined in a glasshouse experiment using hydroponics
at low (-1.3 MPa) and normal water potential (0 MPa). At -1.3
MPa, leaf extension rate was reduced by 36%. Final plant
tiller number was 20% lower at -1.3 MPa because of a 12%
reduction in the leaf appearance rate in the first weeks after
the start of the treatments. Site filling, the relative
increase in tiller number per leaf appearance interval, was
high (0.61) - but still lower than theoretically possible -
and was only slightly affected by water potential. Site
filling was shown to be strictly related to the number of
inhibited plus unemerged tiller buds. Dry matter production
was 64% lower at -1.3 MPa. Relative growth rate (RGR) was, on
average, 17% lower at -1.3 MPa, but the reduction was greater
just after the treatments started. Also, net assimilation rate
(NAR) was reduced more by low water potential just after the
start of the treatments. Specific leaf area (SLA) was 13%
lower at -1.3 MPa for Wendy, but not significantly reduced for
Condesa. Contrary to expectations based on the theory of the
functional balance between root and shoot, leaf weight ratio
was slightly higher at -1.3 MPa. From comparison of the
results of this study with published data, it is concluded
that effects of drought in the field on tillering cannot be
attributed only to low water potential.

Abstract: Substitution of urea for commonly used nitrate
fertilizers in hydroponic culture of vegetables would not only
avoid excessive accumulation of nitrate in plants but would
also reduce the cost of production. This substitution,
however, might have adverse effects, such as a dramatic
decrease in solution pH, reduced nutrient uptake and possibly
urea toxicity per se. Differences in adaptability to urea were
found among three species of leafy vegetables, Ipomoea
aquatica Fossk., Lactuca sativa L. and Brassica chinensis L.
I. aquatica showed the best adaptability, growing normally
with urea as the sole nitrogen source in spite of the dramatic
pH decrease in the nutrient solution. It was further found
that I. aquatica had significantly lower urease activity in
the roots than the other two species when urea was supplied to
the solution. Tolerance of low pH and avoidance of urea
toxicity may be possible mechanisms of I. aquatica's
adaptability to urea application in hydroponic culture.

Abstract: A nutrient delivery system that may have
applicability for growing plants in microgravity is described.
The Vacuum-Operated Nutrient Delivery System (VONDS) draws
nutrient solution across roots that are under a partial vacuum
at approximately 91 kPa. Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Blue
Lake 274) plants grown on the VONDS had consistently greater
leaf area and higher root, stem, leaf, and pod dry weights
than plants grown under nonvacuum control conditions. This
study demonstrates the potential applicability of the VONDS
for growing plants in microgravity for space biology
experimentation and/or crop production.
