Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Five of eighteen peanut genotypes lacked hairs on roots and gynophores.
- Association Root hair formation and density concurred with gynophore hair presence and density.
- Association Final root P uptake did not differ across the three genotypes.
- Observation Two distinct P uptake strategies were identified.
- Mechanism The hairless genotype maintained P uptake by developing a large root system.
- Observation Wasedairyu roots extracted P three times as efficiently from P-deficient soil.
- Observation Gynophores contributed about 20% of Wasedairyu total P uptake.
- Observation Gynophore P uptake contributed insignificant amounts in other genotypes.
- Mechanism Hair formation on roots and gynophores was interpreted as an adaptation to low P availability.
- Mechanism Combining hair formation with a large root system could substantially improve peanut tolerance to P deficiency.
