Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Shoot growth of Plantago lanceolata was immediately reduced upon transfer to low nutrient conditions.
- Intervention effect Shoot growth reacted more slowly upon transfer of plants to high nutrient conditions.
- Intervention effect Root growth was slightly reduced upon transfer of plants to high nutrient conditions, and was less dependent on nutrient supply.
- Intervention effect Photosynthesis was largely independent of the nutrient supply.
- Intervention effect Photosynthesis showed an initial increase upon transfer of plants to low nutrient conditions.
- Observation Photosynthesis decreased with age in all treatments.
- Mechanism The decrease in photosynthesis with age was not due to mutual shading.
- Observation The decrease of photosynthetic rate was not accompanied by a decreased relative growth rate.
- Observation The activity of the alternative nonphosphorylating pathway continuously decreased in plants grown in a high nutrient environment.
- Mechanism The decrease in photosynthetic rate was compensated by a more efficient root respiration.
- Mechanism The alternative pathway was concluded to be of significance in removal of carbohydrates that could not be used for growth or energy production.
- Mechanism The alternative pathway appeared to allow P. lanceolata plants to adapt to a changed environment as regards mineral nutrition.
