Local & systemic responses conferring acclimation of #Brassica napus roots to low #phosphorus conditions bit.ly/390i2zQ #ABA #jasmonicacid #phosphate #ROS #sugar,

This 3-y field study identified differential Fe & Zn uptake and translocation in 6 #wheat cultivars. Fe & Zn distributions in tissues were visualized in cultivars with similar high yield but different grain Fe & Zn concentrations using #synchrotron micro-X-ray fluorescence
