Abstract

The Thermal Power Plant Complex of Kasimpur (Aligarh, UP, India) emits enormous amounts of oxides of sulfur, nitrogen, and carbon as well as particulate matters on consuming 3192 MT of coal/day. These effluents induce significant alterations in carbon allocation in Anagallis arvensis populations. Monthly samples of 10 plants each were collected on random basis at seedling to mature stage from 0.5, 2, 6, 12 and 20 km leeward from the power plant. In oven dried samples, assimilate partitioning was noted to be more severely altered by the air pollutants in the seedling stage. In 2 and 3 months old populations, photosynthate allocation to root and shoot was not altered noticeably. Considerable changes in carbon allocation were noted in 4 mo old mature stage. The carbon allocation to fruit was 3 fold and to seed was about 4 fold greater in the population thriving 20 km away from the source than in those growing in the vicinity of the source. Assimilate partitioning was linearly related to the distance from power plant and the productivity of the populations.

Effects of thermal power plant effluents on formation and senescence of reproductive parts of Anagallis arvensis L

Journal Article Iqbal, M; Khan, F; Saquib, M; ... - Plant Physiology, Supplement; (USA)

Oxides of sulfur, nitrogen and carbon and particulates are the major air pollutants emitted in huge amounts by the Thermal Power Plant Complex of Kasimpur (Aligarh, UP, India) running on 3192 MT of coal/day. These effluents significantly affect reproductive phase of Anagallis arvensis L. Samples of 10 plants each were randomly collected at monthly intervals at seedling to mature stage from 0.5, 2, 6, 12 and 20 km leeward from the power plant complex. Bud formation and flowering were delayed in the population thriving at 0.5 km from the pollution source. As a 2 month old stage, 60% of themore »« less
Effects of ozone on carbon allocation and partitioning in loblolly pine seedlings

Conference Tomlinson, P; Friend, A - Plant Physiology, Supplement; (United States)

The effects of O{sub 3} on carbon allocation and partitioning were studied in two-year old loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) seedlings during the second season of exposure to charcoal-filtered air (CF) or twice-ambient levels of O{sub 3} (2X) in open-top chambers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (Oak Ridge, TN). CF and 2X treatments were supplied from May to October in 1988 and 1989. Entire shoots were exposed to {sup 14}CO{sub 2} at times between Dec. 1988 and Aug. 1989: (1) during winter dormancy (no O{sub 3}), (2) just prior to spring bud burst (no O{sub 3}), and (3 and 4)more »« less
Effect of Sulfate on Selenium Uptake And Chemical Speciation in Convolvulus Arvensis L

Journal Article Cruz-Jimenez, G; Peralta-Video, J; Rosa, G; ... - Environ.Chem 2:100,2005

Hydroponic experiments were performed to study several aspects of Se uptake by C. arvensis plants. Ten day old seedlings were exposed for eight days to different combinations of selenate (SeO{sub 4}{sup 2-}), sulfate (SO{sub 4}{sup 2-}), and selenite (SeO{sub 3}{sup 2-}). The results showed that in C. arvensis, SO{sub 4}{sup 2-} had a negative effect (P < 0.05) on SeO{sub 4}{sup 2-} uptake. However, a positive interaction produced a significant increase in SO{sub 4}{sup 2-} uptake when SeO{sub 4}{sup 2-} was at high concentration in the media. X-ray absorption spectroscopy studies showed that C. arvensis plants converted more than 70%more »« less
Elucidation of Triacylglycerol Overproduction in the C4 Bioenergy Crop Sorghum bicolor by Constraint-Based Analysis

Journal Article Clark, Teresa; Schwender, Jorg - Frontiers in Plant Science

Upregulation of triacylglycerols (TAGs) in vegetative plant tissues such as leaves has the potential to drastically increase the energy density and biomass yield of bioenergy crops. In this context, constraint-based analysis has the promise to improve metabolic engineering strategies. Here we present a core metabolism model for the C₄ biomass crop Sorghum bicolor (iTJC1414) along with a minimal model for photosynthetic CO₂ assimilation, sucrose and TAG biosynthesis in C₃ plants. Extending iTJC1414 to a four-cell diel model we simulate C₄ photosynthesis in mature leaves with the principal photo-assimilatory product being replaced by TAG produced at different levels.

Ambient ozone effects on the ecophysiology of sugar maple (Acer saccharum)

Journal Article Scherzer, A; Boerner, R - American Journal of Botany; (USA)

Sugar maple is among the most widespread and abundant canopy tree species in eastern North America, and is increasing in abundance in the American midwest; yet recent surveys indicate it is declining throughout much of eastern Canada. A number of factors have been cited as causing or contributing to this decline, including both gaseous air pollutants and acidic deposition. The authors hypothesized that ozone has the potential to act as a predisposing factor for sugar maple decline by affecting net carbon gain, carbon allocation, and carbohydrate reserves, resulting in reduced growth and vigor of sugar maple trees. To test this,more »« less
