Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Either nitrogen form raised leaf nitrogen concentration.
- Intervention effect Either nitrogen form raised leaf nicotianamine concentration.
- Intervention effect DMA concentration was unaffected by nitrogen form.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen fertilizer had no significant effect on metal export during flag leaf senescence.
- Intervention effect Primarily ammonium-fertilized plants accumulated significantly more Fe, Zn and Cu in grains.
- Association Grain metal accumulation was unrelated to the amount retranslocated from flag leaves.
- Mechanism The authors interpreted improved nitrogen status as promoting Fe, Zn and Cu accumulation in flag leaves, with more NA but not DMA.
