Other claims from this paper (5)
- Association The disappearance of ROS from the elongation zone coincides with arrest of root elongation under low P.
- Intervention effect P-starvation decreased the ascorbic acid level in roots.
- Intervention effect Feeding P-deficient plants with ascorbic acid stimulated mitotic activity in the primary root meristem.
- Intervention effect Feeding P-deficient plants with ascorbic acid partly reversed the inhibition of root growth imposed by low P.
- Observation Rapidly growing roots on P-sufficient medium synthesize ROS in the elongation zone and quiescent centre.
