Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Both deficiency and excess of Ca and B reduced soybean shoot and root biomass.
- Intervention effect Deficiency and excess of Ca and B disrupted the accumulation of Mg, K and N in soybean.
- Intervention effect Limited Ca and B availability significantly declined nitrogenase activity and nodule fresh weight in soybean.
- Intervention effect Nutrient imbalance caused thylakoid membrane dilation, plastoglobule accumulation and envelope disruption in soybean leaf mesophyll.
- Intervention effect Nutrient imbalance caused disorganization of the middle lamella in soybean leaf mesophyll.
- Intervention effect Optimal Ca and B supply increased the proportion of rhizobia-infected cells, cortex thickness and vascular differentiation in soybean nodules.
- Association Improved nodulation under optimal Ca and B was associated with higher periderm formation, nitrogenase efficiency and N accumulation.
- Recommendation The authors recommend ensuring balanced Ca and B availability to support nodular structure and soybean yield.
