A Bivariate Mapping Model Identifies Major Covariation QTLs for Biomass Allocation Between Leaf and Stem Growth of Catalpa bungei

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Biomass allocation plays a critical role in plant morphological formation and phenotypic plasticity, which greatly impact plant adaptability and competitiveness.

High yielding biomass genotypes of willow (Salix spp.) show differences in below ground biomass allocation [PDF]

, 2015
Willows (Salix spp.) grown as short rotation coppice (SRC) are viewed as a sustainable source of biomass with a positive greenhouse gas (GHG) balance due to their potential to fix and accumulate carbon (C) below ground. However, exploiting this potential

Distinguishing the biomass allocation variance resulting from ontogenetic drift or acclimation to soil texture.

PLoS ONE, 2012
In resource-poor environments, adjustment in plant biomass allocation implies a complex interplay between environmental signals and plant development rather than a delay in plant development alone.

Phenotypic Plasticity Drives the Successful Expansion of the Invasive Plant Pedicularis kansuensis in Bayanbulak, China

Diversity, 2023
To better understand the phenotypic plasticity of the highly invasive native weed, Pedicularis kansuensis, we investigated and compared phenotypes (morphology, biomass, and nutrient composition) at different levels of invasion (low: 0 < cover ≤ 30 ...

Precipitation and nitrogen addition enhance biomass allocation to aboveground in an alpine steppe

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
There are two important allocation hypotheses in plant biomass allocation: allometric and isometric. We tested these two hypotheses in an alpine steppe using plant biomass allocation under nitrogen (N) addition and precipitation (Precip) changes at a ...

Prediction of ash deposition for biomass combustion and coal/biomass co-combustion [PDF]

, 2012
In this thesis, a model that couples a reduced alkali kinetic mechanism for alkali sulphate formation during biomass combustion with an ash deposition model using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques has been presented.

Biomass Allocation of Stoloniferous and Rhizomatous Plant in Response to Resource Availability: A Phylogenetic Meta-Analysis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Resource allocation to different functions is central in life-history theory. Plasticity of functional traits allows clonal plants to regulate their resource allocation to meet changing environments.

The effect of allometric partitioning on herbivory tolerance in four species in South China

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Herbivory tolerance can offset the negative effects of herbivory on plants and plays an important role in both immigration and population establishment. Biomass reallocation is an important potential mechanism of herbivory tolerance.

Leaf-age and petiole biomass play significant roles in leaf scaling theory

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Foliage leaves are essential for plant survival and growth, and how plants allocate biomass to their leaves reveals their economic and ecological strategies. Prior studies have shown that leaf-age significantly influences leaf biomass allocation patterns.
