Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Low nitrogen increased physiological nitrogen utilization efficiency.
- Intervention effect Low nitrogen reduced ear-leaf specific nitrogen content by 38%.
- Observation Low nitrogen did not significantly influence net photosynthetic rate.
- Observation Low nitrogen increased photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency by 54%.
- Intervention effect Under low nitrogen, maize invested relatively more nitrogen in bioenergetics to sustain electron transport.
- Observation Nitrogen allocation to chlorophyll and light-harvesting proteins decreased.
- Observation Soluble proteins were reduced, shrinking nitrogen storage.
- Mechanism The authors interpret optimized leaf nitrogen allocation as an adaptation maintaining photosynthesis and productivity under low nitrogen.
