While accounting for up to 90 % in many seeds, usually only &amp;lt;10 % of total P is found in phytic acid in green leaves. This study follows up on the findings of a recent review of the occurrence of phytic acid in green leaves which revealed that (i) the current knowledge of phytic acid in leaves is mostly based on data from (fertilized) crop plants and (ii) the proportion of total P in phytic acid seems to decrease with improved P status in leaves in contrast to an increase in seeds and fruit. We studied five species of wild herbaceous plants in the field and under controlled conditions. Foliar P concentrations were much lower than those of the crops of earlier studies, but the proportion of P in phytic acid was similar, with little variation during the observation period. Both the field data and the experimental data showed a statistically indistinguishable negative correlation of phytic acid-P\/total P and total P. In contrast to our expectation, this negative relationship was not related to differences in relative growth rates. We conclude that (i) our data of phytic acid concentrations in leaves of wild plants are in line with earlier observations on crops, and (ii) the trend towards lower proportions of phytic acid-P with increasing P status is probably a general phenomenon. Currently lacking a convincing explanation for the second observation, the role of phytic acid in foliar P metabolism is still unclear.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/aobpla\/plu048","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,8,15]],"date-time":"2014-08-15T01:13:49Z","timestamp":1408065229000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Phytic acid in green leaves of herbaceous plants\u2014temporal variation\n                    <i>in situ<\/i>\n                    and response to different nitrogen\/phosphorus fertilizing regimes"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Hassan Hadi","family":"Alkarawi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gerhard","family":"Zotz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026050910465499600_PLU048C1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"697","DOI":"10.1111\/plb.12136","article-title":"Phytic acid in green leaves","volume":"16","author":"Alkarawi","year":"2014","journal-title":"Plant Biology"},{"key":"2026050910465499600_PLU048C2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"253","DOI":"10.1071\/PP9870253","article-title":"Senescence and grain development in wheat plants grown with contrasting phosphorus regimes","volume":"14","author":"Batten","year":"1987","journal-title":"Australian Journal of Plant Physiology"},{"key":"2026050910465499600_PLU048C3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1017\/CBO9780511565175","volume-title":"Bromeliaceae\u2014profile of an adaptive radiation","author":"Benzing","year":"2000"},{"key":"2026050910465499600_PLU048C4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"225","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.pp.24.060173.001301","article-title":"Phosphate pools, phosphate transport, and phosphate availability","volume":"24","author":"Bieleski","year":"1973","journal-title":"Annual Review of Plant Physiology and Plant Molecular Biology"},{"key":"2026050910465499600_PLU048C5","volume-title":"Methods of analysis for soils, plants and waters","author":"Chapman","year":"1961"},{"key":"2026050910465499600_PLU048C6","first-page":"121","article-title":"Chemical transformation of phosphorus in the growing corn plant, with results on two first-generation crosses","volume":"46","author":"deTurk","year":"1933","journal-title":"Journal of Agricultural Research"},{"key":"2026050910465499600_PLU048C7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"19","DOI":"10.1016\/0377-8401(94)90156-2","article-title":"Total phosphorus, phytate-phosphorus and phytase activity in plant feedstuffs","volume":"47","author":"Eeckhout","year":"1994","journal-title":"Animal Feed Science and Technology"},{"key":"2026050910465499600_PLU048C8","volume-title":"The quantitative analysis of plant growth","author":"Evans","year":"1972"},{"key":"2026050910465499600_PLU048C9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1763","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1010452507718","article-title":"Effects of phytic acid and xanthotoxin on growth and detoxification in caterpillars","volume":"27","author":"Green","year":"2001","journal-title":"Journal of Chemical Ecology"},{"key":"2026050910465499600_PLU048C10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"255","DOI":"10.1139\/b84-042","article-title":"Seed development in Ricinus communis cv.
