Physiological and Morphological Responses of Hydroponically Grown Pear Rootstock Under Phosphorus Treatment

Phosphorus (P) is an essential macronutrient for the growth and development of fruit trees, playing an important role in photosynthesis, nucleic acid synthesis, and enzyme activity regulation. The plasticity of plant phenotypic has been investigated in diverse species under conditions of P-deficienc...
