Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Phosphorus deficiency reduced bean leaf area mainly through fewer leaves, nodes, branching and leaf appearance, and secondarily through reduced expansion.
- Observation Mycorrhizae and increased root P availability had similar effects.
- Intervention effect Foliar P increased leaf area development and shoot growth in P-deficient beans.
- Observation Mycorrhizal and foliar P effects were greatest at low root P availability.
- Intervention effect Severe P deficiency decreased leaf photosynthesis in nonmycorrhizal plants.
- Intervention effect Intermediate P stress did not reduce photosynthesis in nonmycorrhizal plants.
- Association Photosynthesis in mycorrhizal plants was inversely correlated with P stress.
- Mechanism Root P availability influenced leaf photosynthesis largely through leaf P concentration.
- Mechanism P availability affected bean growth primarily through leaf appearance and biomass partitioning.
