Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Nitrogen efficient genotypes had thicker leaves than inefficient genotypes.
- Association Nitrogen efficient genotypes were less responsive in leaf nitrogen concentration to solution nitrogen.
- Association Nitrogen efficient genotypes were less responsive in leaf CO2 exchange rate to solution nitrogen.
- Observation Souna B maintained stable leaf CO2 exchange rate across nitrogen levels.
- Association Instantaneous photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency explained little of prior field differences in overall nitrogen use efficiency.
- Association Nitrogen use efficiency was more related to nitrogen partitioning into extra leaf area.
