Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Gibberellic acid increased cell size in young lettuce plants.
- Intervention effect Gibberellic acid reduced dry weight percentage and organic acid concentration in lettuce sap.
- Intervention effect Gibberellic acid increased shoot nitrate concentration.
- Intervention effect Chlormequat chloride had the opposite effects to gibberellic acid on dry weight, sap organic acids and shoot nitrate.
- Observation Tetraploid lettuce genotypes had larger cells than diploid genotypes.
- Observation Tetraploid lettuce genotypes had lower nitrate concentration than diploid genotypes.
- Observation Tetraploid lettuce genotypes had higher organic solute concentration than diploid genotypes.
- Association Genotype differences in nitrate concentration were not explained by cell size.
- Association Genotype differences in nitrate concentration were consistently related to sap organic acid concentration.
- Association Genotype dry weight percentage was positively correlated with sap organic acid concentration.
- Observation Nitrate concentration differed among genotypes with comparable dry matter content.
- Observation Monosaccharide concentration was much lower than organic acid concentration.
- Association A negative relation between monosaccharide and nitrate concentrations was not found in every case.
