Abstract
Nitrogen concentration pattern and total nitrogen content in the various organs of the main shoot of field grown Jyoti barley at 40 kg N ha−1 were determined. The laminae had a much higher N concentration (μmol g−1 dry wt.) than the other organs at a corresponding stage. The major amount of N accumulates in the main shoot by ear emergence. An observation of interest is the decline in the total N content of the laminae before anthesis. The results are discussed in relation to mobilization of N within the shoot and the contribution of the vegetative parts to the N in developing grains.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
