Title: | Phosphorus acquisition characteristics of cotton ('Gossypium hirsutum' L.) plant: a review | Contributor(s): | Wang, Xiaojuan (author); Tang, Caixian (author); Guppy, Christopher (author) ; Sale, Peter W G (author) | Publication Date: | 2010 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/6524 | Abstract: | This paper provides a review of P acquisition strategies by cotton plants. Except for excretion of phosphatase enzymes, the cotton plant lacks the ability to manipulate its rhizosphere chemistry, and to mobilize nonlabile inorganic P sources. Phosphorus acquisition by cotton plants mainly depends on root exploration of relatively labile inorganic P and organic P sources from the surface and subsurface soil layers. Root morphological traits, such as increased root to shoot ratio or AM associations, would result in a high root absorbing surface area. Subsoil P sources could be accessed by cotton plant over time possibly due to the water stress encountered at the topsoil, and the presence of roots in the subsoil. The role that mycorrhizae play with cotton plants in Vertosol soils is worthy of future investigation. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | WCSS 2010: 19th World Congress of Soil Science, Brisbane, Australia, 1st - 6th August, 2010 | Source of Publication: | Proceedings of the 19th World Congress of Soil Science: Soil Solutions for a Changing World, p. 88-91 | Publisher: | International Union of Soil Sciences and Australian Society of Soil Science Inc | Place of Publication: | Brisbane, Australia | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 050304 Soil Chemistry (excl Carbon Sequestration Science) 070306 Crop and Pasture Nutrition |
