A pot experiment was carried out, with 30 spinach cultivars to determine nitrate accumulation in leaf blade and petiole, and its relationship to biomass and water in plants. Results showed that the fresh weight proportion of blade to shoot was higher than that of petiole. Furthermore, a higher positive correlation was found between fresh weights of blades and shoots than that of petioles and shoots. Unlike biomass, nitrate-nitrogen (N) concentration and total amount of nitrate-N accumulated in petiole were significantly higher than those in blade, and petiole was obviously the main organ for nitrate accumulation. Differences of nitrate-N concentration in petiole and the observed positive correlation between nitrate-N concentrations in petioles and shoots were more significant than that in blades and shoots. Nitrate-N concentration in petiole was also significantly correlated with fresh and dry shoot weight and total amount of water in shoots. However, this relationship was not found for blade.
