e0“Sunflower (Helianthus annuus cv. Holiday) plants grown hydroponically with limited nitrate availability”

Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Adding 5 mM nitrate decreased root hydraulic resistance by 20% within the first hour.
- Observation The change in root hydraulic resistance was largely reversible.
- Association The temporal dynamics of the response to nitrate addition and to nitrate withdrawal were not symmetric.
- Mechanism Changes in root hydraulic properties require assimilation of nitrate by root cells.
- Intervention effect Under anoxia, root hydraulic resistance of nitrate-stimulated plants increased more than in control plants in low nitrate.
- Mechanism Aquaporin activity is suggested to play a key role in the root hydraulic response to nitrate.
