Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Low P significantly reduced alfalfa dry biomass, plant height, leaf number, and area.
- Intervention effect P deficiency altered alfalfa P nutrition and chlorophyll content.
- Intervention effect Silicon treatment improved growth and chlorophyll content of P-deficient alfalfa.
- Intervention effect PF9 inoculation improved growth and chlorophyll content of P-deficient alfalfa.
- Intervention effect Combined Si and PF9 had a much higher effect on P-deficient alfalfa growth and chlorophyll than either treatment alone.
- Intervention effect Combined Si and PF9 improved alfalfa acid phosphatase activity.
- Intervention effect Combined Si and PF9 improved P contents in alfalfa shoots and roots.
- Intervention effect Combined Si and PF9 lowered reactive oxygen species accumulation, electrolyte leakage, and lipid peroxidation under low P.
- Mechanism The authors relate reduced oxidative damage to modulation of antioxidant molecules including SOD, polyphenols, flavonoids, and proline.
