Abstract
A sand culture-based pot bioassay was carried out in a growth chamber to investigate the phosphorus (P) uptake efficiency of selected lines from a doubled haploid (DH) population derived from the cross between P uptake efficient (Brookton) and inefficient (Krichauff) wheat cultivars. Results showed that P uptake efficiency (total P uptake) differed considerably between DH lines, and total P uptake did not correlate with biomass production. Shoot Zn concentration in the P efficient parent was significantly lower than in the P inefficient parent, and a negative relationship between total P uptake and shoot Zn concentration was found in all genotypes. This implies that Zn efficiency should be taken into consideration when selecting cultivars for high P uptake efficiency.
