Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Urea increased iron translocation from treated young leaves to roots and untreated shoots.
- Intervention effect Dark-induced senescence strongly promoted iron translocation from treated leaves.
- Intervention effect Urea did not further increase iron translocation from dark-induced senescent leaves.
- Intervention effect Iron translocation from flag leaves into untreated shoots was low and unaffected by urea.
- Mechanism The authors infer that urea assimilation products may help chelate and transport iron to grain.
