Towards the quantitative control of crop production and quality. III. Some recent developments in research into the root‐soil interface

Pages 1175-1192 | Published online: 21 Nov 2008
 

Abstract

In addition to their general role as sinks for ion transfer from the soil, roots can modify uptake by specifically changing conditions within the rhizosphere. The possibility of including such factors in models is illustrated by the effects of pH change, solubilization of iron, mycorrhizal infections, competitive ion uptake and root shrinkage caused by drying.
