Figures & data
Figure 1 Shoot dry weight and root dry weight of var. Kneja 434, var. Kneja 605, var. Kneja 509 and var. Kneja 537 grown in nutrient solutions with different Mn concentrations (μmol L−1): 5 (control), 50, 200 and 500. Values represent the means of three independent experiments. Different letters indicate significant differences assessed by Fisher’s least significant difference test (P < 0.05) using anova multifactor analysis.
Figure 2 Manganese concentrations in the leaves of var. Kneja 434, var. Kneja 605, var. Kneja 509 and var. Kneja 537 after exposure to different Mn concentrations in nutrient solution. FW, fresh weight.
Figure 3 Effects of leaf Mn concentrations on (a) net CO2 assimilation (PN), (b) transpiration rate (E) and (c) stomatal conductance (gS) in the leaves of var. Kneja 434, var. Kneja 605, var. Kneja 509 and var. Kneja 537. Measurements were carried out at 500 μmol m−2 s−1 photosynthetically active radiation. FW, fresh weight.
Figure 4 Effects of leaf Mn concentrations on chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids in the leaves of var. Kneja 434, var. Kneja 605, var. Kneja 509 and var. Kneja 537. FW, fresh weigt.
Figure 5 Changes in (a) electrolyte leakage (EL) and (b) the level of lipid peroxidation (MDA content) in the leaves of var. Kneja 434, var. Kneja 605, var. Kneja 509 and var. Kneja 537 grown in nutrient solutions with different Mn concentrations (μmol L−1): 5 (control), 50, 200 and 500. Values represent the means of three independent experiments. Different letters indicate significant differences assessed by Fisher’s least significant difference test (P < 0.05) using anova multifactor analysis. FW, fresh weight.
