Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Mg(0) plants whose shoots were dipped in MgSO4 had growth not appreciably less than healthy Mg(2) undipped controls.
- Intervention effect Dipping shoots of Mg-deficient plants removed the high shoot/root dry-weight increment ratio seen in undipped Mg(0) plants.
- Observation Little Mg was translocated from leaves to roots.
- Intervention effect Root Mg concentration of Mg(0) dipped plants was as low as that of undipped plants.
- Observation Mg(0) dipped roots accumulated large amounts of Mn and, less so, Fe, which was not apparently detrimental to growth.
- Intervention effect Growth of Mg(2) dipped plants was similar to that of undipped plants.
- Intervention effect Dipping had little effect on the chemical composition of leaves.
- Intervention effect Dipping raised the concentration of Mg in leaves.
