“…The data of the greenhouse study on tea revealed that a considerable re-translocation of B occurs from mature to growing leaves. In relation to potential B mobilizing and/or complexing compounds, it has been observed that sucrose, glucose, and fructose exist in the leaf exudate and phloem sap, while xylitol, sorbitol, mannitol, maltose, galactose, cellobiose or raffinose are not found, indicating a considerable re-translocation of B in the tea plant despite its lacking polyol compounds (Hajiboland et al 2013b).…”

Tea (Camellia sinensis) is an important beverage crop cultivated in the tropics and subtropics under acid soil conditions. Increased awareness of the health-promoting properties of the tea beverage has led to an increase in its level of consumption over the last decades. Tea production contributes significantly to the economy of several tea-cultivating countries in Asia and Africa. Environmental constrains, particularly water deficiency due to inadequate and/or poorly distributed rainfall, seriously limit tea production in the majority of tea-producing countries. It is also predicted that global climate change will have a considerable adverse impact on tea production in the near future. Application of fertilizers for higher production and increased quality and quantity of tea is a common agricultural practice, but due to its environmental consequences, such as groundwater pollution, the rate of fertilizer application needs to be reconsidered. Cultivation of tea under humid conditions renders it highly susceptible to pathogens and pest attacks. Application of pesticides and fungicides adversely affects the quality of tea and increases health risks of the tea beverage. Organic cultivation as an agricultural practice without using synthetic fertilizers and other chemical additives such as pesticides and fungicides is a sustainable and eco-friendly approach to producing healthy tea. A growing number of tea-producing countries are joining organic tea cultivation programmes in order to improve the quality and to maintain the health benefits of the tea produced.Ke y wor d s: aluminium, global climate change, nitrogen fertilizers, organic culture, phosphorus fertilizers, soil pH, water deficiency Abbreviations: C a -atmospheric CO 2 concentration, T a -atmospheric temperature, ESTs -estimated sequence tags, N sh -harvestable shoot density, W sh -harvestable shoot weight, C i -intracellular CO 2 concentration, T l -leaf temperature, P max -maximum photosynthetic rate, T m -maximum temperature, P n -net photosynthetic rate, T o -optimum temperature, PAR -photosynthetic active radiation, ROS -reactive oxygen species, SER -shoot extension rate, SRC -shoot replacement cycle, T s -soil temperature, SWD -soil water deficit, g s -stomatal conductance, SSH technique -suppression subtractive hybridization technique, T t -threshold temperature, TE -transpiration efficiency, VPD -vapour pressure deficit, WUE -water use efficiency

“…Boron was particularly mobile in trees such as apples, prunes and pears which use sorbitol as major carbohydrate (Brown & Hu 1996). However, in tea (Camellia sinensis), considerable translocation of boron occur from mature to growing leaves despite lacking polyol compounds (Hajiboland et al 2013). Since translocation of boron in C. oleifera was investigated for the first time in this study, results of C. sinensis could provide circumstantial evidence for the degree of boron mobility in C. oleifera.…”

“…However, boron mobility was not as closely related to the presence of polyols as expected, and it appears that, to some degree, remobilisation occurs in many plant species (Lehto et al 2004b). There is considerable translocation of boron from mature to growing leaves in tea (Camellia sinensis) despite lacking polyol compounds (Hajiboland et al 2013). The processes of translocation vary depending on the season.…”

“…As the uptake of B is through diffusion and mass flow, soil moisture plays a critical role in B availability and uptake. The continuous supply of B has been shown to be crucial in plant growth, with discontinuous supply of B leading to rapid and permanent physiological damage at growing points (Hajiboland et al, 2013;Wimmer and Eichert, 2013). During moisture deficit, this ill effect may be heightened in plants that cannot mobilise B through B-polyol complexation or sugar transport.…”

“…A recent discovery in tea (Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze) also provided evidence of considerable re-translocation of B from old to new leaves despite the lack of polyol compounds (Hajiboland et al, 2013), further suggesting that the transportation is through sugars such as monosaccharaide glucose.…”

Mineral nutrient calibration for Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) grown in dry-tropical North-Eastern Queensland, Australia: with a focus on Phosphorus and Boron

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a common food crop grown in the tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, South-America and Africa due to the high tolerance of nutrient limitations and abiotic stresses. Recently, renewed interests in cassava as a source of industrial production of textile materials and gluten-free food raise the needs for large-scale commercial production with advanced, sustainable management. To satisfy its regions starch demand, a Korean company Cheil Jedang (CJ) began cassava farming in the Burdekin area, north-east Queensland, Australia by converting grazing land into an intensive, irrigated cassava farm. Proper fertiliser management is known to result in high starch production; however, no previous calibration work has been conducted in the Burdekin region for the production of cassava. A scoping survey had identified five main soil subgroups on the property of CJ: 1B and 1D (Vertosols, cracking clays), 2A and 2C (Sodosols, sodic duplex soils) and 3B (Chromosol, non-sodic duplex soil). The objectives of this study were to determine potential mineral nutrient limitations to crop growth on selected soils using soil ii | P a g e was possible to control soil solution B at a lower rooting density using the current technique.Modifications were recommended for the objective to be achieved. Overall, this study demonstrated the needs of calibration for soil chemical analysis with the better understanding of factors that contribute to its limitation.iii | P a g e
