Title

Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation The 32 potato genotypes differed significantly in phosphorus utilization efficiency.
- Association Phosphorus acquisition efficiency correlated positively with relative biomass production.
- Association Phosphorus utilization efficiency did not correlate with relative biomass production.
- Association Total root length was strongly related to phosphorus content in selected genotypes.
- Intervention effect miR399 expression increased under phosphorus deficiency.
- Intervention effect Tuber yields of four cultivars under suboptimal phosphorus were not significantly different from well-fertilized plots.
- Recommendation The authors consider PAE more important than PUtE for cropping on phosphorus-deficient soils.
- Recommendation A large root system may be the most important trait for phosphorus acquisition and breeding phosphorus-efficient crops.
- Recommendation Reducing phosphorus fertilizer inputs may leave tuber yields unchanged.
