Other claims from this paper (3)
- Association In well-watered plants, the time of increase in PEPCase mRNA depended on soil volume, and larger pots led to later increases.
- Association No positive correlation was found between PEPCase mRNA induction and the developmental status of the plants.
- Mechanism PEPCase mRNA induction in well-watered plants up to 10 weeks of age is suggested to be controlled environmentally rather than developmentally.
