Oxygen stress in Salvinia natans: Interactive effects of oxygen availability and nitrogen source

The ability of Salvinia natans (L.) All. to tolerate growth in oxic, hypoxic and anoxic nutrient solutions when supplied with either NH4+or NO3-were studied in the laboratory to test the hypothesis that inorganic N-source affects the response of the plants to O2deprivation. The relative growth rate...
