Altered calcium and potassium distribution maps in tomato tissues cultivated under salinity: studies using X-ray fluorescence (XFM) microscopy

A. Hosni, Daryl C. Joyce, Mal Hunter, Melinda L. Perkins et autres

Abstract Calcium (Ca2+) distribution into relatively low-transpiring fruit versus relatively high-transpiring leaves is of concern to the fruit industry. Ca2+ uptake is further compromised under salinity through antagonistic competition with sodium (Na+). Herein, X-Ray Fluorescence (XFM) was applied to elucidate in-situ localization …

A low-cost method to rapidly and accurately screen for transpiration efficiency in wheat

Andrew Fletcher, Jack Christopher, Mal Hunter, G. J. Rebetzke et autres

BACKGROUND: L.) productivity is commonly limited by the availability of water. Increasing transpiration efficiency (biomass produced per unit of water used, TE) can potentially lead to increased grain yield in water-limited environments ('more crop per drop'). Currently, the ability to screen large …

Development and Application of Speed Breeding Technologies in a Commercial Peanut Breeding Program

Daniel John O'Connor, Graeme C. Wright, Mark J. Dieters, D. L. George et autres

ABSTRACT Reducing the release time of new peanut varieties is a key objective of peanut breeding programs. In the Australian Peanut Genetic Improvement Program release time has traditionally taken 10 to 15 years; however, the relatively recent use of winter breeding and …

Semi-automated, non-weighing, pot-in-bucket (PIB), water management in pot plant culture

Mal Hunter, J. H. Mitchell, Mark J. Dieters

Constant water tables (CWT) in pots have been used in the determination of plant water-use. While the CWT systems eliminate the labour required in watering-to-weight systems, they may be overly wet with the constant water table within the pot itself. A valve …

The Twinpot Water Management System: demand (water) driven, automated container irrigation that increases crop turnover, while saving water, nutrients and reducing root escape

Mal Hunter, W.J. Scattini, Steve Davis, M. Hickey et autres

Details are provided of a fully automated water-use based container (pot) irrigation system for the nursery industry. The Twinpot Water Management System (TWMS) utilizes the unique characteristics of the ANOVApot® in combining features of the pot-in-pot technology and ‘self watering’ container systems. …
