Other claims from this paper (8)
- Association Na uptake decreased as exogenous glycine betaine levels increased; DPX had greater prevention capacity.
- Observation Endogenous glycine betaine concentration was higher in younger than mature leaves.
- Intervention effect Exogenous glycine betaine increased lateral branch number by 33% in DPX.
- Intervention effect Exogenous glycine betaine increased pods per plant by 49% in DPX.
- Intervention effect Seed number per pod did not differ between controls and exogenous glycine betaine treatments in either cultivar.
- Intervention effect All exogenous glycine betaine treatments significantly increased thousand grain weight in DPX, with a maximum of 71% at the stated dose.
- Association The response of thousand grain weight to exogenous glycine betaine depended on cultivar, dose and time.
- Mechanism The authors attributed the grain yield increase to increases in branch and pod number and thousand grain weight.
