Evaluation of Effect of Exogenous Molybdenum and Tungsten on Seed Germinability and on Symptoms of Virus Infection in Plants
D.S. Tokasheva
Abstract:Crop production is the basis of agriculture in Kazakhstan. Soils in Kazakhstan suffer from molybdenum deficiency. Molybdenum deficiency in plants is characterized by the stunted growth, poor seed setting, fruit deformation and reduced plant resistance to diseases. Molybdenum catalyzes key steps in the metabolism of nitrogen, carbon and sulfur. It promotes the biosynthesis of the phytohormones of abscisic acid and indole-3-butyric acid. An increase in molybdenum concentration leads to an increase in aldehyde ox… Show more
