Fig. 2. Depleted 15N uptake at V12 for each plant component at each position relative to the depleted 15N source applied at position #0. Uppercase letters indicate difference (P < 0.05) for vegetative components across plant position. Lowercase letters indicate differences (P < 0.05) between vegetative components within each plant position.

Fig. 3. Depleted 15N uptake at R1 for each vegetative component within each plant position. Uppercase letters indicate difference (P < 0.05) for vegetative components across plant position. Lowercase letters indicate differences (P < 0.05) between vegetative components within each plant position.
