Relative contribution of seed phosphorus reserves and exogenous phosphorus uptake to maize (Zea mays L.) nutrition during early growth stages

Abstract: Adequate phosphorus (P) nutrition during early stages is critical for maize growth. Our objective was to evaluate the relative contribution of seed P reserves and exogenous P to maize nutrition during early growth stages. Seedlings were grown with labeled nutrient solution ( 32 P). Seedlings were harvested periodically over the course of the three-week study. Initially, 87% and 77% of the total C and N in seeds were located in the endosperm, whereas 86% of seed P was located in the scutellum as phytate. Up to … Show more

“…For optimum crop yield, plants require adequate P from very early growth stages Grant et al, 2001). The success or failure of the early growth stage of developing seedlings is directly related to successful remobilization of stored grain P reserves that were accumulated throughout the ripening period (Guardiola & Sutcliffe, 1971;Le Deunff, 1975;Lawrence et al, 1990;Leonova et al, 2010;Nadeem et al, 2011Nadeem et al, , 2012a. As the hydrolysis of grain P during germination is a major source of inorganic P to support the growing seedlings during early growth stages (Nadeem et al, 2011;2012b) therefore the present study was conducted to investigate the role of P nutrition to the parent plant on the dry weight and P reserves accumulation in maize grains for better selection of seeds.…”

“…Phosphorus accumulates rapidly in grains during ripening along with other substances such as lipids and starch. In seeds, phytate is the main stored form of P (Raboy et al, 1989;Ravindran et al, 1994;Lott et al, 1995;Park et al, 2006;Nadeem et al, 2011) along with inorganic and cellular P (Raboy et al, 2001). External P supply has significant effects on P and dry matter accumulation in grains phosphorus contents are significantly higher in grains treated with HP availability as compared to IP or LP.…”

“…Generalno, fitati čine značajan deo suve mase semena velikog broja biljnih vrsta, i to između 50 % i 80 % ukupnog P (Lorenz et al, 2007). U zrnu kukuruza, oko 90 % fitata se akumulira u embrionu i oko 10% u aleuronskom sloju (Lott et al, 2009), dok se u endospermu nalazi samo u tragovima (Nadeem et al, 2011).…”

“…On the other hand, percent cover support Phosphorus Harvest Index in power fashion (PHI = 1.319Percent Cover ^0.448, R 2 = 0.79**, Fig.3c). Percent cover calculated through the two dimension of the plant that do not positively reflect in seed biomass, but this parameter certainly favour the P content in seed and this ultimately reflects with its initial establishment and subsequent growth (Nadeem et al, 2011a).…”
