Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Adding phosphorus to deficient alfalfa stimulated shoot growth.
- Intervention effect Adding phosphorus to deficient alfalfa did not stimulate root growth.
- Intervention effect Cutting reduced taproot bark sugar concentrations at every phosphorus rate.
- Intervention effect The 6 mM phosphorus treatment reduced taproot wood sugar in uncut plants.
- Intervention effect Defoliation decreased taproot wood sugar concentration, more strongly at high phosphorus rates.
- Intervention effect Defoliation decreased taproot bark sugar concentration, more strongly at high phosphorus rates.
- Intervention effect Defoliation decreased taproot amino acid concentration, more strongly at high phosphorus rates.
- Intervention effect Low phosphorus reduced use of taproot starch reserves.
- Observation High-affinity phosphorus transporter transcripts were undetectable in assayed roots and shoots regardless of treatment.
