The effect of nitrogen and phosphorus deficiency on flavonol accumulation in plant tissues
Open accessAbstract
The flavonol content of Arabidopsis thaliana and tomato seedlings was assessed in conditions of reduced nitrogen or phosphorus availability. In both systems, a significant inverse relationship was observed between nutrient availability and flavonol accumulation, with nitrogen limitation promoting the greatest increase in flavonols. A trial was established to determine the effects of decreased nitrogen and phosphorus availability on the flavonol content of leaf and fruit tissues of tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum cv. Chaser) in a commercial situation. Nutrients were supplied by a hydroponic system with nutrient regimes designed to provide the highest and lowest nitrogen and phosphorus levels with which it is possible to support plant growth and fruit set. Fruiting was abundant and tomato fruits were harvested at mature green, breaker and red stages of ripening; leaves were also harvested from the tops of the plants. All tissues were analysed for flavonol content using reversed‐phase high‐performance liquid chromatography. Flavonol accumulation in the leaves of mature tomato plants was found to increase significantly in response to nitrogen stress, whereas phosphorus deficiency did not elicit this response. Reduced nitrogen availability had no consistent effect on the flavonol content of tomato fruits. Phosphorus deficiency elicited an increase in flavonol content in early stages of ripening. Effects of nutrient stress on the flavonol content of tomato fruits were lost as ripening progressed. The findings suggest that nutrient status may be employed to manipulate the flavonol content of vegetative tissues but cannot be used to elevate the flavonol content of tomato fruit.

In the citing paper
“In contrast, there is increasing evidence that differences in fertilisation regimens between organic and conventional production systems (and, in particular, the non-use of high mineral N fertiliser inputs) are significant drivers for higher (poly)phenolic concentrations in organic crops( 20 , 49 – 52 ).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
