Background: The aim of this study was to examine the resource allocation among the organs and the leaf morphology of Polygonatum humile. The data were collected from June 2014 to May 2015 in a natural P. humile stand of a temperate forest gap. Results: The dry weight of new rhizome (R0) sharply decreased to the time of new shoot sprouting in next year and was constant for 2 ~ 3 years. However, ...

to evaluate the effect of environment on the general and specific combining ability of virginia tobacco genotypes, five varieties were intercrossed in combination in 2007 in a half – diallel design. in 2008, the ten f1 population and the five parental lines were sown in two different conditions (drought stress and non-stress) using a complete randomized block design with three replications and ...

doi: 10.1111/j.1399-3054.2006.00699.x Through identifying and understanding ecologically important dimensions of plant trait variation we gain insight into why particular trait combinations are favoured and into the implications of trait differences among species. Here, we describe relationships among several poorly understood leaf and stem traits across species from several Australian vegetati...

in order to evaluate physiological and morphological characteristics and yield of soybean (glycine max l.) cultivars under different planting ratios a field experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with four replications at the gaem shahr agricultural research centre of mazandran province, iran, during 2008. two soybean cultivars (032 and sari) were planted in row inte...

The differential pigment composition and photosynthetic activity of sun and shade leaves of deciduous (Acer pseudoplatanus, Fagus sylvatica, Tilia cordata) and coniferous (Abies alba) trees was comparatively determined by studying the photosynthetic rates via CO(2) measurements and also by imaging the Chl fluorescence decrease ratio (R(Fd)), which is an in vivo indicator of the net CO(2) assimi...

Photosynthetic light acclimation of leaves can result from (i) changes in mass-based leaf nitrogen concentration, Nm, (ii) changes in leaf mass:area ratio, Ma, and (iii) partitioning of total leaf nitrogen among different pools of the photosynthetic machinery. We studied variations in Nm and Ma within the crowns of two peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) trees grown in an orchard in Portugal, and ...

1 The savanna–forest boundary in the tropics is marked by a discontinuity not only in tree density, but also in species composition, with few tree species regularly occurring in both savanna and forest environments. 2 We performed comparative growth analysis for nine congeneric pairs, each containing one savanna species and one forest species, grown in a factorial design involving two light and...
