Kin Recognition Alters Root and Whole Plant Growth of Split-root Cycas edentata Seedlings
Split-root techniques were used to determine if Cycas edentata seedling roots possessed identity recognition capabilities. One compartment of the split-root containers contained a competing half-sibling seedling, and the second compartment contained one of four treatments. When the second compartment contained a half-sibling or C. edentata seedling from the same habitat, root growth did not dif...
متن کاملRoot System Regulation of Whole Plant Growth1
New evidence confirms earlier postulates that root signals to shoots, including abscisic acid, nitrate flux, and cytokinins, modify whole plant growth processes including leaf expansion, stomatal behavior, and biosynthesis of photosynthetic enzymes. Root signals are thought to reflect soil water, nutrient, and mechanical attributes, as sensed by roots. Meristematic activities in root tips initi...
متن کاملRoot biomass and exudates link plant diversity with soil bacterial and fungal biomass
Plant diversity has been shown to determine the composition and functioning of soil biota. Although root-derived organic inputs are discussed as the main drivers of soil communities, experimental evidence is scarce. While there is some evidence that higher root biomass at high plant diversity increases substrate availability for soil biota, several studies have speculated that the quantity and ...
متن کاملRoot Plasticity of Populus euphratica Seedlings in Response to Different Water Table Depths and Contrasting Sediment Types
Riparian plants in arid regions face a highly variable water environment controlled by hydrological processes. To understand whether riparian plants adapt to such environments through plastic responses, we compared the root traits, biomass allocation and growth of Populus euphratica Oliv. Seedlings grown in lysimeters filled with clay or clay/river sand sediments under inundation and varying wa...
متن کاملSugarcane Root Growth and Relationships to Above-ground Biomass
Roots comprise the lesselknown part of the soil-plantatmosphere continuum and yet are essential to the supply of sufficient water and nutrients to ensure u successt'ul crop. By understanding the growth and distribution of sugarcane roots. yields can be optiniiscd through improved strategic decisions. 'This paper addresses root growth and rclationships to above ground biomass. lssues discussed i...
