The photosynthetic and structural differences between leaves and siliques of Brassica napus exposed to potassium deficiency

Abstract Background Most studies of photosynthesis in chlorenchymas under potassium (K) deficiency focus exclusively on leaves; however, little information is available on the physiological role of K on reproductive structures, which play a critical role in plant carbon gain. Brassica napus L., a na...
