Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association N uptake capacity of Brassica napus decreased at flowering to a non-significant level during pod filling.
- Observation Large amounts of endogenous N were transferred from leaves to stems and taproots in Brassica napus.
- Observation About 15% of the total N cycling through Brassica napus was lost through leaf fall.
- Observation About 48% of the N in Brassica napus was recovered in the mature pods, nearly all of it remobilized from vegetative tissues.
- Observation The 23 kDa polypeptide of Brassica napus accumulated in the taproots during flowering and was later fully hydrolyzed to sustain grain filling.
- Mechanism A mechanistic N uptake model of Brassica napus based on NO3- transport was proposed.
