Title

R. E. Wilkinson; R. R. Duncan Journal of Plant Nutrition 1989. doi:10.1080/01904168909364044
Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Ca++ did not influence sorghum seed germination.
- Intervention effect Mn++ did not influence sorghum seed germination.
- Intervention effect Higher H+ concentration strongly inhibited juvenile shoot growth in all six sorghum cultivars.
- Mechanism The authors attributed the H+ growth inhibition to GA availability and partitioning into lipid constituents.
- Mechanism Excess Mn++ exacerbated the growth inhibition by limiting GA biosynthesis.
