Other claims from this paper (9)
- Association Phosphorus and salinity interacted significantly in wheat zinc, iron and selenium accumulation.
- Intervention effect Increasing salinity increased shoot zinc concentration at the same phosphorus level.
- Intervention effect Increasing salinity significantly decreased total shoot zinc owing to reduced biomass.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus addition increased total shoot iron accumulation relative to no phosphorus.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus addition increased total shoot selenium accumulation relative to no phosphorus.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus addition increased aboveground biomass.
- Observation Wheat genotypes varied substantially in zinc, iron and selenium accumulation.
- Mechanism The authors identified phosphorus supply as a key regulator of biomass and nutrient accumulation in some saline soils.
- Recommendation Genotypic variation under salinity offers scope for genetic improvement through breeding.
