e0“corn, coupled with the evidence that this species requires, or at least accumulates, more Zn than wheat or sorghum, provides an explanation as to why Zn deficiencies are more prevalent for corn than wheat or sorghum under field conditions”

- Method / resource The solution technique induced zinc deficiency in sorghum, wheat and corn.
- Intervention effect Zinc deficiency reduced shoot and root dry matter yields in the three cereals.
- Intervention effect Zinc deficiency shortened internodes in the three cereals.
- Intervention effect Zinc deficiency reduced shoot zinc concentration in the three cereals.
- Intervention effect Sorghum increased root phytosiderophore release under zinc deficiency.
- Intervention effect Wheat increased root phytosiderophore release under zinc deficiency.
- Intervention effect Corn did not increase root phytosiderophore release under zinc deficiency.
- Observation Total root phytosiderophore release ranked wheat above sorghum above corn.
