title: Uptake of trace elements by rice plants inoculated with Pyricularia oryzae.
abstract: The ability of rice plants inoculated with Pyricularia oryzae (P. oryzae) to take up trace elements was studied by the radioactive multitracer technique. Among various elements, only Mn, Co, Zn, Se, Rb, Sr, Tc, and Re were found to be transferred to rice shoots from soil. The concentrations of essential elements, Mn and Zn, in the shoots of rice plants inoculated with P. oryzae were slightly higher than those in the control plant shoots, while Se, Rb, Tc, and Re showed almost the same concentrations for both the shoots.
