Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Apoplastic ferric reduction was most rapid at pH 4.9.
- Observation No apoplastic ferric reduction was observed above pH 5.3.
- Intervention effect Nitrate increased apoplastic pH.
- Intervention effect Ammonium had the reverse effect on apoplastic pH and ferric reduction relative to nitrate.
- Intervention effect Nitrate with bicarbonate had the strongest depressing effect.
- Mechanism The authors attributed iron deficiency chlorosis on calcareous soils to inhibition of apoplastic ferric reduction and ferrous uptake.
