Physiological and Biochemical Effects of Rare Earth Elements on Plants and Their Agricultural Significance: A Review

Hu, Zhengyi, Richter, Herfried, Sparovek, Gerd, Schnug, Ewald·2004·Journal of Plant Nutrition

Abstract

The rare earths include the elements scandium [Sc, atomic number (Z) = 21], yttrium (Y, Z = 39), and the lanthanides from lanthanum (La, Z = 57) to lutetium (Lu, Z = 71). Crop responses to application of rare earth elements (REEs) have only been documented in a few countries. The reasons for promoting growth or yield increases are still not sufficiently understood. Recently, physiological interaction of REEs with calcium (Ca), effects on structure and function of cytoplasm membranes, photosynthesis, hormone metabolism, enzyme activity, and water use efficiency have been discussed. This review covers the significance of REEs for agricultural plant production, beginning with a description of the history of their application. The recorded physiological and biochemical effects and responses of selected crops to REEs were also reviewed. Agricultural research needs on REEs are also suggested.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
