Mechanisms and Techniques of secondary nutrient
movement into and within the plant

INTRODUCTION
 17 essential nutrients  complete life cycle
 Ca, Mg and S - relatively large amount next to N,P and K ! 2o
Nutrient
 Plant take nutrients in ionic form from soil by root
 Inorganic macronutrients are usually present at low Conc. -
soil ! accumulated against concentration gradient.
 Plants therefore have to develop adaptive and flexible
strategies for the acquisition of nutrients.
 Further mechanisms are present for (re)distribution throughout
the plant.

Essential Plant nutrients
 Ion - Definition
 Ion is an atom or molecule which has lost
 or gained one or more electrons, making it
 positively or negatively charged
 Anion: A negatively charged ion
 Cation: A positively charged ion

Movement in Soil
Mass flow
Diffusion
Root Interception
Mechanism of Nutrient movement in Soil
Nutrients are absorbed by roots as ions
from the soil water or solution
 Diffusion  Movement of ions from a zone of
high conc. to zone of low conc.
 Mass flow  Movement of ions in soil solution
as water moves
 Root interception  Root grows to the
nutrient

Mechanism of Ion Uptake
Passive Absorption
 Absorption of nutrients along the concentration
gradient
 Absorption of nutrient without expenditure of
metabolic energy
Mass flow theory:
Nutrients are absorbed by the root along with
mass flow of water under the influence of
transpiration

(Guo, 2017)
Magnesium in plant
 Total Mg concentration ranges from 15  25 mM (Mooraw
and Maguise, 2008).
 However, most Mg ions are bound or incorporated into
cellular components, which leaves free cytosolic Mg2+ in the
range of 0.4 to 0.5 mM.
 Typically 15 20% of total leaf Mg is in chlorophyll (White &
Broadley, 2009), although this percentage can be higher or
lower depending on plant Mg status.
 Phloem loading of carbohydrates depends on adequate Mg
levels, as Mg deficient leaves accumulate starch and sugars
(Marschner, 1995).
