  1. Kinetic parameters (estimate ± standard error) for the uptake of P in plants grown with one of three different P concentrations in the nutrient solution in sand (HP: 641 μM, MP: 6.4 μM, LP: 0.064 μM). Model calculated with data from 6 different plants per treatment. Different letters in rows indicate significant differences at p ≤ 0.05. vmax: maximum uptake rate, Km: Michaelis-Menten constant, Cmin: minimal concentration needed for uptake, n.d.: not determined
