Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Boron toxicity reduced early vegetative growth and grain yield.
- Intervention effect S. indica significantly increased vegetative growth, straw dry weight and grain number in both wheat species.
- Intervention effect Boron toxicity increased lipid peroxidation and relative electrolyte leakage.
- Intervention effect S. indica alleviated membrane damage.
- Association S. indica benefits were not associated with significant changes in tissue boron or other mineral concentrations.
- Intervention effect Soil sterilization generally improved wheat performance.
- Intervention effect Soil sterilization did not consistently change effects of S. indica.
- Recommendation The authors suggest S. indica as a microbial inoculant to improve wheat growth under adverse soil conditions.
- Mechanism The authors suggest S. indica benefits may be unrelated to mineral homeostasis.
