Aluminum and manganese tolerance on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Cultivars: IV. manganese tolerance as related to P, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu and Ca, Fe, and Mn, respectively in aerial parts and roots

This study was made to detect possible inter-relations among Mn concentrations or tolerance, and P, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu and Ca, Fe and Mn, concentrations, respectively in the aerial parts and roots of wheat seedlings. The concentrations were determined in 6 wheat cultivars showing differential tolerance to Mn and growing in nutritive solutions containing 0, 8, 16, 24 and 32 ppm of Mn, under greenhouse conditions. The results showed no relationship among Mn concentrations or Mn tolerance and the concentrations of P, Ca, Mg,Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu, neither in the aerial parts nor in the roots.
