Dynamics of Nutrient Transport from the Root to the Shoot

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Progress in Botany ((BOTANY,volume 60))

Abstract

In 1990, Tanner and Beevers stated that transpiration was of minor importance for nutrient transport, since they could find no differences in growth of plants when grown at very different air humidities and therefore very different transpiration rates. This paper provoked a considerable amount of response (e.g. Smith 1991), which clearly showed the need for a critical reevaluation of processes involved in nutrient transport in the xylem sap.
