Luisa Dalla Costa; Nicola Tomasi; Stefano Gottardi; et al. HortScience 2011. doi:10.21273/hortsci.46.12.1619

Other claims from this paper (6)

Intervention effect Growing at 20 °C nutrient solution temperature gave the best plant performance in yield, nitrate content at leaf level and root biomass.
Intervention effect Growing at 20 °C nutrient solution temperature gave the best plant performance in leaf area and greenness.
Intervention effect Growing at 20 °C nutrient solution temperature gave less rapid leaf greenness loss and leaf fresh weight loss during storage at 4 °C.
Intervention effect Corn salad grown at 15 °C showed minor growth.
Intervention effect The nutrient solution at 25 °C caused stress and affected quality and yield negatively.
Recommendation For hydroponic cultivation, a growing-medium temperature close to the surrounding air temperature seems suitable.

Aquaporin Functionality in Roots of Zea mays in Relation to the Interactive Effects of Boron and Salinity

E. Bastías; N. Fernández‐García; M. Carvajal Plant Biology 2004. doi:10.1055/s-2004-820889

Other claims from this paper (5)

Intervention effect Under saline conditions, growth and chlorophyll concentration of maize did not change noticeably.
Intervention effect Salinity decreased leaf water potential and osmotic potential in maize.
Intervention effect Boron had no effect on maize in these treatments.
Mechanism The weak response of root hydraulic conductance to Hg in salt-stressed roots suggests water channels were greatly reduced or non-functional.
Association Reduced aquaporin functionality in NaCl-treated maize could be related to reduced B concentrations in roots and leaves.
