Hydroponic-based systems for plant growth allow control of the nutrients that plants take up through the provided nutrient solution. Different formulations of nutrient solutions enable the study of nutrient deficiencies in plants. Here we describe a procedure for setting up a simple semi-hydroponic system to grow maize seedlings. The system can be set up on a small or large scale, depending on the number of individuals studied. A modified nutrient solution is used for growing maize seedlings in iron-replete and iron-depleted conditions. This setup allows for studies of iron-deficiency responses in maize.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 May 2023.
All research outputs
#23,225,836
of 25,884,216 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#11,202
of 14,393 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#412,221
of 481,169 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#619
of 714 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,884,216 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 14,393 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.5. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 481,169 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 714 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
