Video: Nutrient-dependent root development and the impact of biostimulants
Professor Nicolaus Von Wirén, head of the Department of Physiology and Biology at the Leibniz-Institute for Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research in Gatersleben, Germany, has devoted part of his research to root development and the impact of nutrients on this process.
The topic, which has been Professor Nicolaus Von Wirén's main line of research, was presented by him in the first edition of Redagrícola's Online Series on Biostimulants & Biocontrol 2021, where he explained the effects that can be perceived in roots from the lack of nutrients and how the supply of these can affect the genotypic variation of the roots. Below, you can find Professor Wirén's talk divided into four parts:
1. Root architecture and efficiency of root nutrition
Professor Wirén, an expert in molecular plant nutrition and molecular acquisition by roots, explains how root architecture has a direct bearing on the level of efficiency with which nutrients and water can enter plants. In addition, he highlights how adequate supply or deficiency of nutrients can lead to alterations in biomass, radius, plasticity of root systems.
2. Effects of nutrient supply and nutrient deficiency on roots
Existen diversas alteraciones que pueden ser percibidas en las raíces cuando estas se encuentran en un estado carente de nutrientes. El profesor Wirén aborda las variaciones genéticas, la elongación radicular, la formación lateral específica de raíces y otros efectos asociados a la falta de nutrientes en las raíces y cómo el suministro de nutrientes altera su formación, actuando como señales locales y sistémicas.
3. Digitization of IPK genebank
The genebank of the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research is in the process of being digitized to function as a biodigital resource center. Thus, growers will be able to obtain information related to the yield potential, flowering point, root system, etc. The academic also highlights the technologies being used at the institute to identify relevant genes for the expression of agronomic traits such as nitrogen and phosphorus deficiencies.
4. Root depth and its relevance to nutrient acquisition
Professor Wirén explains different methods that have been used to determine the impact of root depth and root biomass on the acquisition of nutrients relevant to crop growth.
5. Conclusions and specific cases of root nutrition
Finally, Professor Wirén presents some cases associated with root restoration associated with the application of bacteria, the use of silicone as a biostimulant for potassium deficiency and to alleviate drought stress in plants, to then deliver the relevant messages of his presentation.
