1 CAMPBELL BIOLOGY TENTH EDITION Reece Urry Cain Wasserman Minorsky Jackson 37 Plant Nutrition Lecture Presentation by Nicole Tunbridge and Kathleen Fitzpatrick
2 The Corkscrew Carnivore Some plants that live in nutrient poor soils use carnivory to obtain mineral nutrients For example, Genlisea uses modified underground leaves to capture soil organisms as a source of nutrients

7 Concept 37.1: Soil contains a living, complex ecosystem Plants obtain most of their water and minerals from the upper layers of soil Living organisms play an important role in these soil layers This complex ecosystem is fragile The basic physical properties of soil are Texture Composition
8 Soil Texture Soil particles are classified by size; from largest to smallest they are called sand, silt, and clay Soil is stratified into layers called soil horizons Topsoil consists of mineral particles, living organisms, and humus, the decaying organic material
9 Figure 37.2 The A horizon The B horizon The C horizon
10 Soil solution consists of water and dissolved minerals in the pores between soil particles After a heavy rainfall, water drains from the larger spaces in the soil, but smaller spaces retain water because of its attraction to clay and other particles Loams are the most fertile topsoils and contain equal amounts of sand, silt, and clay Sandy soils don t retain enough water to support plant growth; clayey soils retain too much
11 Topsoil Composition A soil s composition refers to its inorganic (mineral) and organic chemical components
12 Inorganic Components Cations (for example K, Ca 2, Mg 2 ) adhere to negatively charged soil particles; this prevents them from leaching out of the soil through percolating groundwater
13 During cation exchange, cations are displaced from soil particles by other cations, particularly H Displaced cations enter the soil solution and can be taken up by plant roots Negatively charged ions do not bind with soil particles and can be lost from the soil by leaching
14 Figure Mineral cations are released. K Soil particle K 2 CO 2 reacts with H 2 O. Ca 2 K Mg 2 H 2 O CO 2 H 2 CO 3 HCO 3 Ca 2 H H Root hair 1 Roots acidify the soil solution. Cell wall 4 Roots absorb released cations.
15 Animation: How Plants Obtain Minerals from Soil
16 Organic Components Humus builds a crumbly soil that retains water but is still porous It also increases the soil s capacity to exchange cations and serves as a reservoir of mineral nutrients Topsoil contains bacteria, fungi, algae, other protists, insects, earthworms, nematodes, and plant roots These organisms help to decompose organic material and mix the soil
17 Soil Conservation and Sustainable Agriculture Soil management, by fertilization and other practices, allowed for agriculture and cities In contrast with natural ecosystems, agriculture depletes the mineral content of soil, taxes water reserves, and encourages erosion The American Dust Bowl of the 1930s resulted from soil mismanagement
18 Figure 37.4
19 At present, 30% of the world s farmland has reduced productivity because of soil mismanagement The goal of sustainable agriculture is to use farming methods that are conservation-minded, environmentally safe, and profitable
20 Irrigation Irrigation is a huge drain on water resources when used for farming in arid regions For example, 75% of global freshwater use is devoted to agriculture The primary source of irrigation water is underground water reserves called aquifers The depleting of aquifers can result in land subsidence, the settling or sinking of land
21 Figure 37.5
22 Irrigation can lead to salinization, the concentration of salts in soil as water evaporates Drip irrigation requires less water and reduces salinization
23 Fertilization Soils can become depleted of nutrients as plants and the nutrients they contain are harvested Fertilization replaces mineral nutrients that have been lost from the soil Commercial fertilizers are enriched in nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) Excess minerals are often leached from the soil and can cause algal blooms in lakes
24 Organic fertilizers are composed of manure, fishmeal, or compost They release N, P, and K as they decompose
25 Adjusting Soil ph Soil ph affects cation exchange and the chemical form of minerals Cations are more available in slightly acidic soil, as H ions displace mineral cations from clay particles The availability of different minerals varies with ph For example, at ph 8 plants can absorb calcium but not iron
26 Controlling Erosion Topsoil from thousands of acres of farmland is lost to water and wind erosion each year in the United States Erosion of soil causes loss of nutrients
27 Erosion can be reduced by Planting trees as windbreaks Terracing hillside crops Cultivating in a contour pattern Practicing no-till agriculture
28 Figure 37.6
29 Phytoremediation Some areas are unfit for agriculture because of contamination of soil or groundwater with toxic pollutants Phytoremediation is a biological, nondestructive technology that reclaims contaminated areas Plants capable of extracting soil pollutants are grown and are then disposed of safely
30 Concept 37.2: Plants require essential elements to complete their life cycle Soil, water, and air all contribute to plant growth 80 90% of a plant s fresh mass is water 96% of a plant s dry mass is from CO 2 assimilated into carbohydrates during photosynthesis 4% of a plant s dry mass is inorganic substances from soil
31 Essential Elements More than 50 chemical elements have been identified among the inorganic substances in plants, but not all of these are essential to plants There are 17 essential elements, chemical elements required for a plant to complete its life cycle and reproduce Researchers use hydroponic culture to determine which chemical elements are essential
32 Figure 37.7 Control: Solution containing all minerals Experimental: Solution without potassium
33 Table 37.1
34 Table 37.1a
35 Table 37.1b
36 Nine of the essential elements are called macronutrients because plants require them in relatively large amounts The macronutrients are carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, potassium, calcium, and magnesium
37 The remaining eight are called micronutrients because plants need them in very small amounts The micronutrients are chlorine, iron, manganese, boron, zinc, copper, nickel, and molybdenum Plants with C 4 and CAM photosynthetic pathways also need sodium Micronutrients function as cofactors, nonprotein helpers in enzymatic reactions
38 Symptoms of Mineral Deficiency Symptoms of mineral deficiency depend on the nutrient s function and mobility within the plant Deficiency of a mobile nutrient usually affects older organs more than young ones Deficiency of a less mobile nutrient usually affects younger organs more than older ones The most common deficiencies are those of nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus
39 Improving Plant Nutrition by Genetic Modification Plants can be genetically engineered to better fit the soil
40 Resistance to Aluminum Toxicity Aluminum in acidic soils damages roots and greatly reduces crop yields The introduction of bacterial genes into plant genomes can cause plants to secrete acids that bind to and tie up aluminum
41 Smart Plants Smart plants inform the grower of a nutrient deficiency before damage has occurred A blue tinge indicates when these plants need phosphate-containing fertilizer
42 Figure 37.8 No phosphorus deficiency Beginning phosphorus deficiency Well-developed phosphorus deficiency
43 Figure 37.8a No phosphorus deficiency
44 Figure 37.8b Beginning phosphorus deficiency
45 Figure 37.8c Well-developed phosphorus deficiency
46 Concept 37.3: Plant nutrition often involves relationships with other organisms Plants and soil microbes have a mutualistic relationship Dead plants provide energy needed by soil-dwelling microorganisms Secretions from living roots support a wide variety of microbes in the near-root environment
47 Bacteria and Plant Nutrition The layer of soil closely surrounding the plant s roots is the rhizosphere Rhizobacteria are free-living bacteria that occupy the rhizosphere Endophytes are nonpathogenic bacteria that live between the cells of host plant tissues
48 Endophytes and rhizobacteria depend on nutrients secreted by plant cells and, in return, help to enhance plant growth by Producing chemicals that stimulate plant growth Producing antibiotics that protect roots from disease Absorbing toxic metals or increasing nutrient availability
49 The species composition of bacterial communities living endophytically and in the rhizosphere vary markedly

53 Bacteria in the Nitrogen Cycle Nitrogen can be an important limiting nutrient for plant growth Plants can absorb nitrogen as either NO 3 or NH 4 Most soil nitrogen comes from actions of soil bacteria The nitrogen cycle transforms nitrogen and nitrogen-containing compounds

58 Conversion to NH 4 Ammonifying bacteria break down organic compounds and release ammonia (NH 3 ) Nitrogen-fixing bacteria convert N 2 into NH 3 NH 3 is converted to NH 4 Conversion to NO 3 Nitrifying bacteria oxidize NH 3 to nitrite (NO 2 ) then nitrite to nitrate (NO 3 )
59 Nitrogen is lost to the atmosphere when denitrifying bacteria convert NO 3 to N 2
60 Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria: A Closer Look Nitrogen is abundant in the atmosphere, but unavailable to plants because of the triple bond between atoms in N 2 Nitrogen fixation is the conversion of nitrogen from N 2 to NH 3 Symbiotic relationships with nitrogen-fixing Rhizobium bacteria provide some plant species (e.g., legumes) with a source of fixed nitrogen
61 Along a legume s roots are swellings called nodules, composed of plant cells infected by nitrogen-fixing Rhizobium bacteria
62 Figure Nodules Roots
63 Inside the root nodule, Rhizobium bacteria assume a form called bacteroids, which are contained within vesicles formed by the root cell
64 The plant obtains fixed nitrogen from Rhizobium, and Rhizobium obtains sugar and an anaerobic environment Each legume species is associated with a particular strain of Rhizobium The development of a nitrogen-fixing root nodule depends on chemical dialogue between Rhizobium bacteria and root cells of their specific plant hosts

Bacteroid Nodule vascular tissue 4 3 Growth continues and a root nodule forms. The nodule develops vascular tissue.
66 Nitrogen Fixation and Agriculture Crop rotation takes advantage of the agricultural benefits of symbiotic nitrogen fixation A nonlegume such as maize is planted one year, and the next year a legume is planted to restore the concentration of fixed nitrogen in the soil
67 Instead of being harvested, the legume crop is often plowed under to decompose as green manure Nonlegumes such as alder trees and certain tropical grasses benefit from nitrogen-fixing bacteria Rice paddies often contain an aquatic fern that has mutualistic cyanobacteria that fix nitrogen
68 Fungi and Plant Nutrition Mycorrhizae are mutualistic associations of fungi and roots The fungus benefits from a steady supply of sugar from the host plant The host plant benefits because the fungus increases the surface area for water uptake and mineral absorption Mycorrhizal fungi also secrete growth factors that stimulate root growth and branching
69 Mycorrhizae and Plant Evolution Early land plants would have encountered harsh conditions 400 to 500 million years ago These plants lacked the ability to extract essential nutrients from the soil, while fungi were unable to produce carbohydrates Mycorrhizal fungi may have helped plants overcome the challenges of life on land
70 The Two Main Types of Mycorrhizae Mycorrhizal associations consist of two major types Ectomycorrhizae Arbuscular mycorrhizae

76 Figure 37.13ba Cortical cell Arbuscules 10 μm (LM)
77 In ectomycorrhizae, the mycelium of the fungus forms a dense sheath over the surface of the root These hyphae form a network in the apoplast, but do not penetrate the root cells Ectomycorrhizae occur in about 10% of plant families including pine, oak, birch, and eucalyptus
78 In arbuscular mycorrhizae, microscopic fungal hyphae extend into the root These mycorrhizae penetrate the cell wall but not the plasma membrane Hyphae form branched arbuscules within cells; these are important sites of nutrient transfer Arbuscular mycorrhizae occur in about 85% of plant species, including grains and legumes
79 Agricultural and Ecological Importance of Mycorrhizae Farmers and foresters often inoculate seeds with fungal spores to promote formation of mycorrhizae Some invasive exotic plants disrupt interactions between native plants and their mycorrhizal fungi For example, garlic mustard slows growth of other plants by preventing the growth of mycorrhizal fungi
80 Epiphytes, Parasitic Plants, and Carnivorous Plants Some plants have nutritional adaptations that use other organisms in nonmutualistic ways Three unusual adaptations are Epiphytes Parasitic plants Carnivorous plants An epiphyte grows on another plant and obtains water and minerals from rain
