e0“A pot experiment was done to study the effect of zinc (Zn) application on the reproductive development and quality of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. SP 343) seeds”
e2“Four treatments included a control (no Zn), 5 mg Zn, 10 mg Zn, and 10 mg Zn kg−1 soil with urea instead of ammonium nitrate”
e3“decreased the phytate/zinc molar ratio at 5 mg Zn kg−1 and increased it at 10 mg Zn kg−1”

Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Zinc application improved pollen-producing capacity of anthers, pollen viability and seed yield of wheat relative to the control.
- Intervention effect Zinc addition increased seed Zn, phytate and starch contents of wheat relative to the control.
- Intervention effect At 5 mg Zn kg−1 soil, zinc decreased the phytate/zinc molar ratio of wheat seed.
- Intervention effect Urea application increased seed protein content of wheat at 10 mg Zn kg−1 soil compared with ammonium nitrate.
- Intervention effect Urea application was ineffective in lowering the phytate/Zn ratio of wheat seed, which remained below the alarming level.
