Seed germinates readily 4-12 weeks. Sow seed in mix 3:1 Perlite:Peat and cover the depth of the seed. Keep moist until germination occurs. Best to sow in individual containers to prevent damage to the root system when transplanting. Drench seed with a fungicide after sowing to prevent "...
Xylem sap of proteoid roots, lateral roots, sinker root and age classes of trunk segments, and phloem sap of mid-trunks were collected from trees of Banksia prionotes (Proteaceae) in native habitat on highly impoverished sands in south-western Australia. Proteoid roots were major exporters of ...
and whole root systems for plants grown at 2 to 300 μM Fe (as Fe-EDTA). As a positive control, we usedPisum sativum(cv. Dunn) to validate the FeR assay.
Information on seasonal water use and nutrient cycling in the dominant tree species Banksia prionotes is used to highlight the pivotal role of deep rooted summer growing trees in the maintenance of sustainability of the system. The article then addresses how one might select species mixtures as ...
