A role for shoot protein in shoot-root dry matter allocation in higher plants.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS It is stated in many recent publications that nitrate (NO3-) acts as a signal to regulate dry matter partitioning between the shoot and root of higher plants. Here we challenge this hypothesis and present evidence for the viewpoint that NO3- and other environmental effects on the shoot:root dry weight ratio (S:R) of higher plants are often related mechanistically to changes ...

متن کاملRelative growth rate and biomass allocation in 20 Aegilops (Poaceae) species
This paper analyses relationships between relative growth rate (), seed mass, biomass allocation, photosynthetic rate and other plant traits as well as habitat factors (rainfall and altitude) in 20 wild species of Aegilops L. and one closely related species of Amblyopyrum (Jaub. & Spach) Eig., which differ in ploidy level (diploid, tetraploid and hexaploid). The plants were grown hydroponica...
متن کاملHierarchical traits distances explain grassland Fabaceae species' ecological niches distances
Fabaceae species play a key role in ecosystem functioning through their capacity to fix atmospheric nitrogen via their symbiosis with Rhizobium bacteria. To increase benefits of using Fabaceae in agricultural systems, it is necessary to find ways to evaluate species or genotypes having potential adaptations to sub-optimal growth conditions. We evaluated the relevance of phylogenetic distance, a...
متن کاملEffects of light acclimation on shoot morphology, structure, and biomass allocation of two Taxus species in southwestern China
Acclimation to changing light conditions plays a crucial role in determining the competitive capability of tree species. There is currently limited information about acclimation to natural light gradient and its effect on shoot structure and biomass in Taxus species. We examined the acclimation of the leaf and shoot axis morphology, structure and biomass allocation of Taxus yunnanensis and T. c...
