Figure 4: Comparison of physiological parameters of WT and ptxD lines under Pi/Phi treatment.
From: The development of a phosphite-mediated fertilization and weed control system for rice
WT and T2 ptxD lines were grown in hydroponic solution for 65 days containing either Pi or Phi. Phi treatment significantly increased p ≤ 0.05 (*) or p ≤ 0.01 (**) shoot weight (a), root weight (b), shoot length (c), root length (d), total chlorophyll content (e), photosystem II activity; Fv/Fm (f), in ptxD transgenic lines compared to WT plants. (g) Either Pi or Phi individual treatment significantly increased the (Pi) level in ptxD lines compared to WT plants. (h) However, WT plant accumulated more Phi compared to ptxD lines under Phi treatment. Each bar represents mean of five independent isolations ± SEM. ND denotes Phi not detected.
