Soluble proteins and dehydrins in nitrogen‐fertilized Scots pine seedlings during deacclimation and the onset of growth
Deacclimation of Scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris ) in northern Finland (65°N) was studied from the perspective of protein metabolism, which was related to nitrogen fertilization. Two‐year‐old seedlings were fertilized with calcium ammonium nitrate (0, 442 and 884 kg N ha −1 ) in the summer prior to th...
