Genotype and environment effects on nitrate accumulation in a diversity set of lettuce accessions at commercial maturity: the influence of nitrate uptake and assimilation, osmotic interactions and shoot weight and development
Burns IG, Zhang K, Turner MK, Lynn J, McClement S, Hand P, Pink D
The causes of the natural variation in nitrate accumulation and associated traits are studied using a diverse population of 48 mature lettuce accessions grown hydroponically in winter and summer seasons. Information on the effects of genotype, environment and their interactions will inform future selection strategies for the production of low-nitrate varieties more suited to meeting EU requirements for harvested produce.
