Other claims from this paper (17)
- Intervention effect Al supplementation restored growth of boron-deficient tea plants.
- Intervention effect Al supplementation increased shoot biomass beyond controls.
- Intervention effect Low boron lowered net photosynthetic rate.
- Intervention effect Al restored net photosynthetic rate to the control level.
- Intervention effect Al treatment was associated with higher saccharide content.
- Intervention effect Low boron decreased leaf APX activity.
- Intervention effect Low boron increased H2O2 content.
- Intervention effect Al restored APX activity.
- Intervention effect Al treatment reduced H2O2.
- Intervention effect Low boron increased SOD and POD activity.
- Intervention effect Al augmented the SOD and POD response.
- Intervention effect Low boron increased leaf MDA.
- Intervention effect Al reduced leaf MDA.
- Intervention effect Al increased nitrate reductase activity over control.
- Intervention effect Nitrite concentration diminished with Al.
- Intervention effect Al supplemented deficient plants had shoot and root B content similar to sufficient plants.
- Mechanism The authors attribute Al rescue of boron deficient tea growth to carbon and nitrogen metabolism, antioxidant defense, and boron uptake and transport.
