Tracing uptake and translocation of phosphorus in wheat using oxygen isotopes and mathematical modelling. New Phytologist, 230(5),
1883-1895. doi:10.1111/nph.17307
Understanding P uptake in soil–plant systems requires suitable P tracers. The stable oxygen isotope ratio in phosphate (expressed as δ18OP) is an alternative to radioactive labelling, but the degree to which plants preserve the δ18OP value of the P source is unclear. We hypothesised that the source …
