“…Potassium affects water relations in plants through its role in stomatal opening, and K deficiency can cause lower leaf P n and g s (Lu et al ., ), reducing WUE (Kammann & Graber, ). Sulfur is essential for plant growth and metabolism, and S deficiency can lead to reduced photosynthesis rates (Resurreccion et al ., ). In our study, as cotton and swine manure biochar treatments had the highest soil K and S levels, but the lowest P plant rates, the soil K and S were either not plant available and causing deficiency, or were too high causing toxicity and thus also impairing P plant .…”

Biochars from local agricultural waste residues contribute to soil quality and plant growth in a Cerrado region (Brazil) Arenosol

Arenosols (sandy soils) in the Cerrado region of Mato Grosso, Brazil, are increasingly used for maize production, the second most important crop in the region after soybean. Yet, these soils are typically nutrient poor with low soil water retention, requiring high fertilizer inputs that are often lost in surface runoff or leached. The addition of biochar, a more recalcitrant organic amendment, may therefore be beneficial in Cerrado Arenosols, contributing to sustainable crop production in the region. To examine biochar contribution to soil nutrient levels and maize growth in a Cerrado Arenosol, we conducted a greenhouse experiment using biochars made from local agricultural waste feedstocks. These were cotton husks, swine manure, eucalyptus sawmill residue, and sugarcane filtercake, pyrolyzed at 400 °C, and applied to soil at five rates: 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4% by weight. Maize plants were grown under unstressed conditions (e.g., no nutrient or water limitations) to highlight any possible negative effects of the biochars. After 42 days, soils were analyzed for nutrient levels, and plant physical and physiological measurements were taken. Filtercake biochar had the highest plant biomass and physiological properties (e.g., photosynthesis, respiration, nitrogen use efficiency), while cotton biochar had the lowest. Importantly, maize biomass decreased with increasing application rates of cotton and swine manure biochars, while biomass did not vary in response to biochar application rate for filtercake and eucalyptus biochars. In this study, we found that while each biochar exhibited potential for improving chemical and physical properties of Cerrado Arenosols, filtercake biochar stood out as most promising. Biochar application rate was identified a key factor in ensuring crop productivity. Transforming these agricultural residues readily available in the region into more stable biochar can thus contribute to sustainable crop management and soil conservation, providing an alternative form of waste disposal for these residual materials.

“…Other environmental factors also affected considerably Rubisco content per unit of leaf-N content. S-deficiency severely reduced Rubisco content unlike leaf-N content (Resurreccion et al 2001(Resurreccion et al , 2002. In tobacco (Nicotiana tabaccum L.), virus infection also reduced Rubisco content relative to leaf-N content (Balachandran et al 1994).…”

This review describes how ribulose-l,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (Rubisco) is related to photosynthesis, N economy, and whole plant growth in rice (Oryza sativa L.). Rubisco is a rate-limiting factor for potential photosynthesis under the present atmospheric air conditions. Although there is no variation in the enzymic properties of Rubisco among rice varieties including old and modern cultivars, the specific activity is 30 to 40% lower than that in other higher plants such as wheat, spinach, and tobacco. In the future, the use of recombinant DNA technology in the chloroplast may enable to improve the kinetic efficiency of rice leaf Rubisco. Rubisco content is correlated with leaf-N content, but its amount in senescent leaves is often much lower than predicted from leaf-N content. Degradation of Rubisco is the major determinant of Rubisco content in senescent leaves. In sub-optimal environments characterized by a moderately low temperature, low irradiance, and CO 2 enrichment, Rubisco content does not limit photosynthesis and remains excessive. Even when rice is adapted to such environments, rice does not optimize Rubiscu content. 1i"ansgenic rice with theoretically optimal Rubisco content at elevated [C0 2 ] by antisense rbcS shows higher rates of photosynthesis only under elevated [C0 2 ] conditions. However, such an improvement at the level of a single leaf does not necessarily lead to a higher production of plant biomass. Decrease in Rubisco content induces the operation of the cyclic electron flow around PS I, which enables to prevent photoinhibition as well as to downregulate the quantum yield of PS II. Thus, the photosynthetic processes are highly integrated and strictly regulated. It is considered that there is a limit to improvement which can be achieved only by alteration of Rubisco.Key Words: Nitrogen, Oryza sativa L., photosynthesis, ribulose-l,5-bisphosphate carboxylase I oxygenase (Rubisco). 319The highly positive correlation between light-saturated photosynthesis in air and the N content in leaves of higher plants is widely observed, because N invested in chloroplasts accounts for the majority of leaf-N content (Evans 1989;Evans and Seemann 1989;Makino and Osmond 1991a). This relationship indicates that the increase in leaf-N content leads to an increase in the photosynthetic capacity. In fact, crop breeding up to the present had selected plants with a higher leaf-N content depending on large inputs of N fertilizer. This is also because N is often extremely deficient for plants in both natural and agricultural environments. oxygenase (Rubisco) activity in C 3 higher plants have revealed that Rubisco is a rate-limiting factor for potential photosynthesis under the present atmospheric air conditions (Makino et al. 1985b(Makino et al. , 1988Evans 1986). In addition, it has been found that large amounts of N are invested in Rubisco protein, accounting for 15 to 30% of total leaf-N content (Evans 1989;Makino et al. 1992). The amount of Rubisco protein is considered to be the most abundant protein in th...

“…The reduced photosynthesis associated with S deprivation has been attributed to the decline of the amounts of the components of the photosynthetic apparatus. Our earlier studies on rice showed that S deficiency led to a large decrease in the chlorophyll and Rubisco contents, and consequently to reduced photosynthesis and plant growth (Resurreccion et al 2001). …”
