e0“This study aimed to investigate the impact of lime (CaCO3) application on shoot dry weight, chlorophyll concentration, active and total iron contents, and iron uptake in seven sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) lines”
e2“Active Fe content showed a significant decrease only in SL21, while a significant increase was observed in SL37 under lime treatment”

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Lime reduced total chlorophyll and chlorophyll a contents in most sunflower lines.
- Intervention effect Lime significantly decreased active Fe content in SL21.
- Intervention effect Lime decreased total Fe content in SL21, SL25, SL28 and SL34.
- Intervention effect Lime did not significantly change total Fe content in SL12, SL18 and SL37.
- Intervention effect Lime showed an increasing trend in root ferric chelate reductase activity, not statistically significant.
- Observation SL37 and SL25 had the highest shoot biomass regardless of lime application.
- Observation SL18 had superior Fe uptake under control conditions.
- Recommendation SL37 and SL25 are recommended as promising sunflower genotypes for cultivation in calcareous soils with limited Fe availability.
