Growth and zinc accumulation in spinach

Abstract: Zinc accumulation in spinach (Spinacea oleracea L. cv. Verbeterd Breedblad), especially in the leaves, has been studied in plants grown on nutrient solutions. The extent of accumulation depends on, but is not proportional to the external zinc supply. Zinc uptake by water flow does not account for the concentrations observed in the various plant parts. The relative accumulation rate is related to the relative growth rate, but depends also on leaf position and leaf age. The data suggest that the midribs act as s… Show more

“…Similar observations were made for e.g. the uptake of potassium by barley (Pitman, 1972) or zinc by spinach plants(Desmet and Dirkse, 1980). The mutual relationship between RGR and RAR does furthermore not depend on the kind of system studied, since their ratio is about constant.…”
