Trial location(s) Auchmore, VIC
Manganese tolerance of two crops locations
Aims

To report on glasshouse and laboratory analysis of the distribution of manganese in the leaves of sunflower and lupin.

Key messages
  • Unusually high manganese concentrations are found in the leaves of manganese tolerant crops.
  • We grew these 2 species in solution culture and examine the relationship between manganese and silicon implant tissues.
  • Manganese is distributed differently in the leaves of lupin and sunflower.
  • In sunflower manganese was found with silicon and calcium in the trichomes and the large vessels of the vascular bundle.
  • In lupin the addition of silicon course increasing manganese concentrations in xylem vessels and also in vacuoles of spongy parenchyma.
