Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Under BNF, sugarcane leaf nitrogen content was half that of controls.
- Intervention effect Under BNF, sugarcane shoot dry mass was 50% lower.
- Intervention effect Control sugarcane plants had twice the CO2 assimilation rate of BNF plants.
- Intervention effect BNF increased superoxide dismutase activity in all sugarcane cultivars.
- Intervention effect BNF increased ascorbate peroxidase activity in all sugarcane cultivars.
- Intervention effect Hydrogen peroxide content increased in BNF sugarcane plants.
- Observation The authors infer that diazotrophic inoculation could provide about half the nitrogen requirement of acclimatized tissue-culture sugarcane plants.
