Compa rison of foliar absorption of Mn, Zn and Fe in soybean, tomato and sunflower after 6h of foliar application

Treatment	Nutrient absorption (μg per leaf)
	Mn	Zn	Fe
Soybean
– MeJA	0·11 ± 0·05^a	0·11 ± 0·07^a	0·69 ± 0·27^a
+ MeJA	0·18 ± 0·06^a	0·26 ± 0·15^a	0·82 ± 0·03^a
Sunflower
– MeJA	6·45 ± 0·40^a	4·15 ± 0·35^a	5·77 ± 1·16^a
+ MeJA	25·6 ± 3·66^b	18·4 ± 3·22^b	36·5 ± 6·85^b
Tomato
– MeJA	7·44 ± 1·41^a	5·32 ± 0·93^a	11·5 ± 4·52^a
+ MeJA	3·69 ± 0·66^b	0·88 ± 0·12^b	1·47 ± 0·63^b

Plants were treated with either 0 mm (control) or 1 mm methyl jasmonate (MeJA).

Elemental absorption (μg per leaf)=(elemental concentration in the treated half – elemental concentration in the control half) × dry weight of the treated half of the leaf.

Values are the mean ± SD (n = 6).

Where P < 0·05 occurred between control and 1 mM MeJA for each species is indicated with different lower case letters.
