“…Trace pyrophosphate was detected (Figure b) for both FM⊂OP and NCNTs@NFM⊂TP treatment. The application of polyphosphate does not significantly increase the content of pyrophosphate in the root, while pyrophosphate can remain for months without hydrolysis even in acidic plant tissues. , Therefore, artificially applicated polyphosphates scarcely enter the roots directly here but gradually hydrolyze into orthophosphates in vitro , and then to be adopted ultimately. Another interesting finding is that the percentage of organic phosphorus in roots for NCNTs@NFM⊂TP, especially, phytate-1 ( scyllo -l(1,2,3,4,5,6)P 6 , 3.56 ppm) and phytate-2 ( scyllo -l(1,2,3,4,5)P 5 , 4.05/3.66/3.40 ppm), declined significantly compared with that of FM⊂OP (Figure b).…”
