Relation of Root and Shoot Morphology of Grass Seedlings
7-49 ABSTRACT Grass seedling establishment is dependent on adventitious root development. However, evaluating the establishment status of a seeding by excavating a population of seedlings and determining root morphology is difficult and generally will not be undertaken. Based on both field and greenhouse studies we have found that root and shoot morphological development is closely related with...
متن کاملIntra- and inter-specific competition between seedlings of Acacia etbaica and a perennial grass (Hyparrenia hirta)
Intraand inter-specific competition between seedlings of Acacia etbaica Schweinf. and the grass Hyparrenia hirta (L.) Stapf. was studied to evaluate the influence of the perennial grass on the establishment of the tree seedlings. The experiment was conducted using a replacement series in which plants were grown in a greenhouse at an overall density of six individuals per pot, providing combinat...
متن کاملRoot restriction as a factor in photosynthetic acclimation of cotton seedlings grown in elevated carbon dioxide.
Interactive effects of root restriction and atmospheric CO(2) enrichment on plant growth, photosynthetic capacity, and carbohydrate partitioning were studied in cotton seedlings (Gossypium hirsutum L.) grown for 28 days in three atmospheric CO(2) partial pressures (270, 350, and 650 microbars) and two pot sizes (0.38 and 1.75 liters). Some plants were transplanted from small pots into large pot...
متن کاملWeak Competition Among Tropical Tree Seedlings: Implications for Species Coexistence
The intensity of competition among forest tree seedlings is poorly understood, but has important ramifications for their recruitment and for the maintenance of species diversity. Intense competition among seedlings could allow competitively dominant species to exclude subordinate species. Alternatively, the low density and small stature of forest tree seedlings could preclude intense interseedl...
متن کاملEffects of Nutrient Heterogeneity and Competition on Root Architecture of Spruce Seedlings: Implications for an Essential Feature of Root Foraging
BACKGROUND We have limited understanding of root foraging responses when plants were simultaneously exposed to nutrient heterogeneity and competition, and our goal was to determine whether and how plants integrate information about nutrients and neighbors in root foraging processes. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The experiment was conducted in split-containers, wherein half of the roots of s...
