Abstract
Abstract The nutrient solution in the tobacco-transplant float system is not usually circulated or aerated, and may thus become stagnant and deficient in oxygen. In this system, plants produce media, water and spiral roots. The metabolic activity of these root types during seedling development was investigated in a standard float system and under a low oxygen (near-anaerobic) regime. Oxygen consumption by tobacco seedling root tips was measured using a microsensor. The effects of near-anaerobic conditions on seedling development in a float system reduced dry matter accumulation of both media and water roots. Media roots and spiral roots had a similar metabolic activity rate, and a much greater rate of oxygen uptake than did water roots. The near-anaerobic condition in the float system was less deleterious to media roots than water roots.
期刊介绍：
Chinese Tobacco Science is an academic scientific journal (bimonthly) under the supervision of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of the People's Republic of China, and sponsored by the Tobacco Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the Qingzhou Tobacco Research Institute of China National Tobacco Corporation. It was founded in 1979 and is publicly distributed nationwide. The journal mainly publishes academic papers on scientific research results, new production technologies, and modern management in my country's tobacco science research and tobacco production technology. In addition, it also publishes forward-looking review articles in the field of tobacco research. There are columns such as tobacco genetics and breeding, cultivation technology, modulation and processing, physiology and biochemistry, plant protection, review or monograph, quality chemistry, etc.
