Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect After the phosphate supply to barley and tomato plants was discontinued, growth rates were at first unchanged.
- Intervention effect After the phosphate supply was discontinued, the internal phosphorus concentration of barley and tomato plants decreased.
- Intervention effect In the first phase of phosphate stress the rate of phosphate transport by the roots of barley and tomato sometimes increased significantly.
- Observation Visual symptoms of deficiency appeared in tomato during the second phase of phosphate stress.
- Observation Visual symptoms of deficiency did not appear in barley during the second phase of phosphate stress.
- Observation During the second phase of phosphate stress, enhancement of phosphate uptake capacity reached a maximum in both barley and tomato.
- Observation The subsequent decline in phosphate uptake capacity was associated with visible deficiency symptoms developing in barley and intensifying in tomato.
- Observation When stressed plants were returned to a phosphate solution, rapid absorption continued for several days after the internal phosphorus concentration had returned to the level of the controls.
- Mechanism Phosphate toxicity may have been the cause of leaf lesions and necrosis during the recovery phase.
- Intervention effect Stomatal conductance in tomato was decreased at an early stage of phosphate stress development.
- Intervention effect Foliar-applied phosphate was absorbed more rapidly by P-stressed barley leaves than by their controls.
- Intervention effect Much larger amounts of foliar-applied phosphate were translocated from the leaves to the roots in P-stressed barley than in their controls.
