1
Water uptake Path starts at root hairs Must take water from soil Ease depends on availability & how tightly it is bound Binding depends on particle size & chem
2
Water uptake Availability depends on amount in soil pores Saturation: completely full Field capacity: amount left after gravity has drained excess Permanent wilting point: amount where soil water potential is too negative for plants to take it up
3
Plant Stress Water? Nutrients? Environment? Temp? Pollution? Ozone, other gases? Herbicides, eg Round-Up, Atrazine? Insects and other herbivores? Pathogens = bacteria, viruses, fungi Salinity
4
Plant Stress Next assignment: presenting a plant stressor, what is known about it, and why it might affect plant 2˚ compounds in an ~ 10 minute presentation? Alternative: presenting another good plant/stressor response to study and why we should choose it over the ones already presented.

Mineral Nutrition Nutrients in soil Plants alter roots to aid uptake Also use symbionts Mycorrhizal fungi help: especially with P Some plants form symbioses with N-fixing prok.
9
Nutrient uptake Most nutrients are dissolved in water Enter root through apoplast until hit endodermis Then must cross plasma membrane
