Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Rhizobium-inoculated lucerne grew more slowly than nitrate-supplied plants.
- Intervention effect NaCl at −0.3 MPa did not reduce growth rate of nitrate-supplied lucerne under a 12 h day-length.
- Intervention effect NaCl at −0.3 MPa did not reduce growth rate of inoculated lucerne under a 12 h day-length.
- Intervention effect At a 5 h day-length, nitrate-grown lucerne respiration peaked at −0.3 MPa and declined at higher salt concentrations.
- Intervention effect At a 5 h day-length, salt reduced gross photosynthesis in inoculated lucerne.
- Intervention effect At a 5 h day-length, salt reduced net photosynthesis in inoculated lucerne.
- Intervention effect At a 5 h day-length, salt did not stimulate respiration in inoculated lucerne.
- Observation Growth and maintenance respiration components could not clearly be separated in inoculated lucerne.
- Mechanism The authors attribute inoculated lucerne failure to adapt to salt and low light to increased assimilate demand by rhizobium.
