Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Efficient tomato lines produced 81% more dry weight than inefficient lines at 10 mg Ca per plant.
- Intervention effect At 400 mg Ca per plant, all tomato lines produced comparable dry weight.
- Mechanism Efficient utilization of tissue Ca and greater ability to absorb Ca from low-Ca solutions were responsible for greater dry weight production under Ca deficiency in tomato.
- Observation A simple additive-dominance model was adequate to explain differences in CaER among tomato lines.
- Observation Additive effects were highly significant in tomato Ca utilization inheritance.
- Observation Some interallelic interactions appear to be important for inheritance of total plant dry weight in tomato.
