Other claims from this paper (8)
- Recommendation Four zinc-related indices could be used to select zinc uptake efficient wheat genotypes.
- Observation H6712 was most tolerant of zinc deficiency, followed by M19 and X13.
- Observation H6712 had the highest zinc uptake efficiency among three genotypes.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus addition increased wheat zinc uptake and root-to-shoot translocation.
- Intervention effect Wheat total zinc content was 43% higher with 0.6 mmol/L phosphorus than with no phosphorus.
- Intervention effect The 0.6 mmol/L phosphorus treatment increased root-to-shoot zinc translocation ratio by 16% over no phosphorus.
- Intervention effect The 3 mmol/L phosphorus treatment increased root-to-shoot zinc translocation ratio by 26% over no phosphorus.
- Observation At zero zinc, 66% of absorbed phosphorus moved to wheat shoots, versus 60% at 3 μmol/L zinc.
