Other claims from this paper (11)

Intervention effect Increasing nitrogen supply from 5 to 50 ppm N increased cabbage plant dry weight.
Intervention effect Nitrogen supply at 500 ppm N decreased cabbage plant dry weight.
Intervention effect Cabbage grown at 50 ppm N had the highest sugar content.
Intervention effect Cabbage grown at 50 ppm N had the highest rate of 14CO2 assimilation.
Mechanism Growth at 50 ppm N explains efficient cabbage-head development through the highest sugar content.
Intervention effect Decreasing light intensity decreased cabbage plant dry weight and cabbage-head yield.
Intervention effect Low light intensity made the 15NO3-N uptake by cabbage smaller than high light intensity.
Intervention effect Low light impaired incorporation of 15N into the 80% ethanol-insoluble fraction of the cabbage head.
Association The later the growth stage at which 14CO2 was assimilated, the greater the 14C-retention percentage at harvest.
Association The later the growth stage at which 14CO2 was assimilated, the greater the distribution of 14C into the cabbage head.
Association The 14C-retention percentage decreased with increased nitrogen supply or decreased light intensity in cabbage.
