Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Dry matter production of corn was highest under the moderate P and Zn combination compared with other imbalanced P and Zn applications.
- Intervention effect Dry matter production of wheat was highest under the moderate P and Zn combination compared with other imbalanced P and Zn applications.
- Intervention effect Excessive P supply significantly inhibited translocation of Zn from the roots of corn to the aboveground part.
- Intervention effect Excessive P supply decreased the Zn content in the shoots of corn.
- Intervention effect Application of 3.0 mmol L-1 P reduced water-soluble Zn in corn and wheat plant tissues.
- Intervention effect Application of 3.0 mmol L-1 P increased cell plasma membrane permeability in corn and wheat.
- Intervention effect Application of 3.0 mmol L-1 P decreased dehydrogenase activity in the roots of corn and wheat.
- Intervention effect Application of 3.0 mmol L-1 P decreased nitrate reductase activity in the leaves of corn and wheat.
- Intervention effect Application of 3.0 mmol L-1 P declined the uptake of nitrate by corn and wheat.
- Intervention effect Zn-deficient corn and wheat plants showed decreased superoxide dismutase and plasma membrane ATPase activity.
- Observation With increasing P supply, ATPase activity in corn and wheat increased and reached its maximum at 3.0 mmol L-1 P.
- Intervention effect No or low P (0.12 mmol L-1) supply was detrimental to dry matter production and physiological functioning of corn and wheat.
- Observation Corn showed a more significant response than wheat to the imbalanced P and Zn supply.
