G. Alagarswamy; J. C. Gardner; J. W. Maranville; et al. Crop Science 1988. doi:10.2135/cropsci1988.0011183x002800040025x
Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Nitrogen efficient genotypes had thicker leaves than inefficient genotypes.
- Association Nitrogen efficient genotypes were less responsive in leaf nitrogen concentration to solution nitrogen.
- Association Nitrogen efficient genotypes were less responsive in leaf CO2 exchange rate to solution nitrogen.
- Observation Souna B maintained stable leaf CO2 exchange rate across nitrogen levels.
- Observation BK560 had 10 to 15% lower photosynthetic nitrogen efficiency than the other genotypes.
- Association Instantaneous photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency explained little of prior field differences in overall nitrogen use efficiency.
