- Intervention effect Low P reduced sunflower total dry weight to 82% after 42 days.
- Intervention effect Low P reduced sunflower total leaf area to 83% after 42 days.
- Intervention effect Low P reduced wheat total dry weight to 61% after 42 days.
- Intervention effect Low P reduced wheat total leaf area to 67% after 42 days.
- Mechanism P deficiency reduced total leaf area through fewer and smaller leaves.
- Mechanism Sunflower leaf number fell with increased phyllochron.
- Association Higher phyllochron under low P was associated with slower leaf primordia initiation.
- Association Higher phyllochron under low P was associated with slower leaf elongation.
- Mechanism Reduced leaf expansion rate determined individual leaf size under low P.
- Intervention effect P deficiency shortened sunflower leaf expansion duration.
