Title
Environmental conditions and plant physiology modulate Cu phytotoxicity in field-contaminated soils
Pedro Mondaca; Patricio Valenzuela; Waldo Quiroz; et al. Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety 2022. doi:10.1016/j.ecoenv.2022.114179
Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Environmental conditions significantly affected foliar Cu in lettuce, with effects differing between soils.
- Intervention effect Environmental conditions significantly affected lettuce growth, with effects differing between soils.
- Method / resource Foliar Cu was a poor biomarker of lettuce growth.
- Method / resource Integrating potential phytotoxicity with nutritional status improved interpretation of lettuce growth.
- Association Lettuce growth was related primarily to nutritional status rather than Cu phytotoxicity.
- Mechanism Foliar Cu may affect lettuce nutritional status through photosynthesis-related processes and cation balance.
