Zn deficiency markedly decreased shoot dry weight of bread wheat relative to Zn-supplied plants
Triticum aestivumVerbatim
e1“Zn deficiency resulted in a marked decrease in shoot dry weight”
e2“Nine bread wheat(WF151,S715,ZM9023,ZY6,XY22,WN148,XY216,XN889,YF175) cultivars and one rye cultivar(Secale cereale,control) were grown in chelator-buffered nutrient solution for 35 d with(+Zn,3 μmol/L) and without(-Zn)Zn supply”

Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Six bread wheat cultivars had similar shoot dry weight under Zn supply but varied greatly under Zn deficiency
- Observation Zn efficiency of the nine wheat cultivars ranged from 23.6% to 46.3%
- Association Zn efficiency of the wheat cultivars was lower than that of rye
- Intervention effect Adequate Zn supply significantly increased Zn concentration and Zn content in bread wheat shoots relative to no Zn supply
- Observation Zn concentration in rye shoots did not change much under adequate Zn supply
- Association Under no Zn supply, Zn content in shoots of wheat cultivars correlated positively with Zn efficiency
- Association Zn concentration in shoots was not significantly correlated with Zn efficiency of bread wheat
- Association Zn efficiency was not significantly correlated with Zn concentration or Zn content in seeds of bread wheat
- Observation Bread wheat shows a large variation in tolerance to Zn deficiency
- Recommendation Zn efficiency should be used as a reliable plant parameter for screening bread wheat genotypes for tolerance to Zn deficiency
