Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect The moderate calcium treatment gave peak leghemoglobin content and specific nitrogenase activity.
- Intervention effect Low calcium stress significantly inhibited root elongation.
- Intervention effect Low calcium stress was accompanied by a decrease in leghemoglobin content and poor nodule development.
- Intervention effect Low calcium stress suppressed nitrogen fixation potential.
- Intervention effect High calcium treatment inhibited root growth.
- Intervention effect High calcium treatment significantly increased the allocation of total plant dry matter to the root system.
- Intervention effect High calcium treatment significantly increased ureide content in nodules.
- Intervention effect High calcium treatment substantially decreased ureide content in stems.
- Mechanism High calcium appears to obstruct long-distance transport of nitrogen fixation products.
- Intervention effect High calcium significantly declined nitrogenase activity through a negative metabolic feedback mechanism.
- Intervention effect Calcium deficiency primarily resulted in structural impairments in nodule development.
- Recommendation Maintaining calcium homeostasis is important for efficient nitrogen fixation in soybean.
