Phosphorus (P) deficiency is a common problem around the globe.
Application of P fertilizers is problematic in agriculture systems
because of high cost and environmental concerns. To produce more P
efficient plants by recombinant breeding or biotechnology,
identification of P efficiency mechanisms is a pre-requisite. The
book describes the simple methodology of solution culture, sand
culture and soil culture experiments which were conducted to study
the P efficiency mechanisms in Brassica. Different cultivars
exhibited significant growth differences and P uptake. Cultivars
were categorized into different groups on the basis of growth and P
uptake. High biomass production per mg P absorbed, changes in root
morphology and exudation of organic acids were the possible
mechanisms for high P efficiency in plants. The book is written in
a simple way that undergraduate and post graduate students can
plan, conduct and write basic research trials in plant nutrition.
