Phytic acid is an available phosphorus source for maize plants in juvenile phase belonging to two populations with different breeding backgrounds
This study indicates that phytic acid is a bioavailable P source for maize seedling growth. A wider mobilization of genes/pathways was induced by Po treatment in VA572 with respect to P1547 hybrid. The physiological responses to Po treatment were similar in both populations but the patterns of genes involved often differed being specific to each one.
