Abstract

P-deficiency decreased total biomass and changed the dry matter distribution, the leaf numbers, the total leaf area, and the root length density, as consequence of the photosynthesis rate reduction. In addition, P-deficiency induced enhancement of antioxidant activity, CAT, POD, with a reduction of the total protein. There are evidences related to the damage of cell membranes by ROS.
