Florivory Modulates the Seed Number-Seed Weight Relationship in Halenia elliptica (Gentianaceae)
Generally, plant reproductive success might be affected negatively by florivory, and the effects may vary depending on the timing and intensity of florivory. To clarify the impacts of florivory by the sawfly larvae (Tenthredinidae) on seed production of Halenia elliptica D. Don, we simulated florivory by removing different proportion of flowers at three reproductive stages in this alpine herb a...
متن کاملThe effect of twig architecture and seed number on seed size variation in subtropical woody species.
This study aims to determine the effect of twig (current year shoot) size on seed size variation and to test whether a seed size vs number tradeoff occurs for the twigs of subtropical broad-leaved species. Fruit-bearing twigs were sampled for 55 woody species (including 33 evergreen and 22 deciduous dicot species) from a southwest Chinese forest. Twig size, fruit size and number, and seed size ...
متن کاملSeed-specific over-expression of an Arabidopsis cDNA encoding a diacylglycerol acyltransferase enhances seed oil content and seed weight.
We recently reported the cloning and characterization of an Arabidopsis (ecotype Columbia) diacylglycerol acyltransferase cDNA (Zou et al., 1999) and found that in Arabidopsis mutant line AS11, an ethyl methanesulfonate-induced mutation at a locus on chromosome II designated as Tag1 consists of a 147-bp insertion in the DNA, which results in a repeat of the 81-bp exon 2 in the Tag1 cDNA. This i...
متن کاملRelationship between eggplant seed morphology and germination1
Structural differences such as abnormalities, damage and free spaces in seeds may affect germination. The aim of this study was to study the relationship between eggplant seed morphology and seed germination. Ten seed lots of the eggplant cultivar Embu were evaluated by X-ray image analysis and the germination test. Seed image analysis was performed by Image Pro Plus® software and the whole see...
متن کاملevaluation relationships between seed number, used water in evapotranspiration and leaf relative water content with canola seed weight
to study the effects of used water in evapotranspiration, seed number per unit area and leaf relative water content on seed weight of canola (brassica napus l.), an experiment was conducted as a randomized complete block design, arranged in a split-plot under two conditions, i.e. supplemental irrigation and rainfed in 2005-7. two cultivars of canola (‘hyola401’ and ‘rgs003’) as subplots were gr...
