Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Water stress imposed 20 to 50 and 50 to 80 days after planting did not change the percentage of peanut roots with root hairs in the rhizotron study.
- Observation Thirty-seven to 43% of peanut roots had root hairs.
- Observation In the field, peanut root hair formation increased significantly from 7% at 70 DAP to 31% at harvest.
- Association Soil type was found to affect the percentage of peanut roots with root hairs in the greenhouse.
- Observation Roots growing in sand:fritted clay mixture had 17% root hairs.
- Observation Roots growing in Greenville soil had 14% root hairs.
- Observation Approximately 66% of lateral initiates expressed rosette-type root hairs.
- Observation The rosette form of root hair around lateral root initiates was observed in all peanut studies.
- Observation Mycorrhizal infection was insufficient to significantly affect peanut nutrient uptake.
- Observation Mycorrhizal infection of peanut roots was greater in the rhizotron (18%) than in Greenville (6%) and Tifton soils (3%).
- Association Root hair occurrence and mycorrhizal infection may interact in peanut.
