Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation The middle stem of cucumber was more suitable for puncturing because of its lower amount of epidermal hair.
- Observation Cucumber stems rapidly healed within 25 h after puncture damage.
- Association Epidermal penetration of cucumber stems increased with cellulose and lignin content.
- Mechanism Cellulose played a more decisive role than other factors in epidermal penetration of cucumber stems.
- Association Epidermal break distance of cucumber stems increased with N application.
- Association Epidermal break distance of cucumber stems decreased with increasing K+ application.
- Mechanism The change in intercellular space caused by K supply was the most critical factor affecting epidermal break distance.
- Observation Factors affecting epidermal toughness of cucumber stems were more complex.
- Observation Detection of epidermal brittleness and toughness for nutrient stress was poor under certain treatment.
- Observation Puncture mechanical characteristics of the stem had a significant indicative effect on N application rate.
