Relative contribution of seed phosphorus reserves and exogenous phosphorus uptake to maize (Zea mays L.) nutrition during early growth stages (2011, background): “Early symptoms of P deficiency have often been reported in the literature (Colomb et al. 2000; Grant et al. 2005; Grant et al. 2001; Plénet et al. 2000b; Rodriguez et al. 1998) and may be due to low soil P and environmental conditions like cool temperatures that slow down enzyme activity associated ”
Are the rates of photosynthesis stimulated by the carbon sink strength of rhizobial and arbuscular mycorrhizal symbioses (2009, background): “However, the relative costs of AM symbiosis are larger early in plant development when AM fungal colonization is indispensable for plants because the root system is still small and hyphae are more efficient in reaching P, which is poorly-mobile in soil (Grant et al., 2005; Bittman et al., 2006).”
Mycorrhiza : state of the art, genetics and molecular biology, eco-function, biotechnology, eco-physiology, structure and systematics (2008, background): “Paradoxically, if the available P in the soil is very low, AM and spore production may be restricted and AM may increase by P application (Grant et al. 2005).”
Sustainable Use of Phosphorus (2010, background): “This may require the adoption of minimum tillage techniques, seed inoculation or adjustments to the crop rotation (Grant et al., 2005).”
