Silicon-moderated K-deficiency-induced leaf chlorosis by decreasing putrescine accumulation in sorghum

Abstract

These results indicate that Si application could reduce K-deficiency-induced Put accumulation by inhibiting Put synthesis and could decrease H2O2 production via PA oxidation. Decreased H2O2 accumulation contributes to the alleviation of cell death, thereby also alleviating K-deficiency-induced leaf chlorosis and necrosis.
