Leaf nitrogen thresholds ensuring high antioxidant features of Vaccinium corymbosum cultivars

Deficiency or excess of nitrogen (N) supply can promote formation of reactive oxygen species in plants, inducing oxidative stress. Otherwise, plants may enhance phenolics biosynthesis and antioxidant capacity under N deficiency, but this effect is plant species-dependent. There is no information abo...
