The average grain Zn concentration of potting mix-grown control plants was similar to that of field-grown wheat

In Fe- and Zn-withholding treatments, root mineral content and concentration decreased substantially in both lines. Roots of all lines and treatments continued to grow during grain fill, and were larger at grain maturity than at anthesis, making calculation of remobilization by subtraction impractical. Despite the lack of significant net Fe and Zn remobilization from the total …
