Variance in biomass‐allocation fractions is explained by distribution in European trees [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2019
SummaryIntraspecific variability in ecological traits confers the ability of a species to adapt to an ever‐changing environment. Fractions of biomass allocation in plants (BAFs) represent both ecological traits and direct expressions of investment strategies and so have important implications on plant fitness, particularly under current global change ...

Effect of intraspecific competition on biomass partitioning of Larix principis-rupprechtii

Journal of Plant Interactions, 2018
It is acknowledged that trees biomass allocation in response to environmental conditions. However, it remains poorly understood what strategies of plant biomass allocation with inter- and intraspecific interactions of tree species in forest stands.

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.

Plasticity in Meristem Allocation as an Adaptive Strategy of a Desert Shrub under Contrasting Environments

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
The pattern of resource allocation to reproduction vs. vegetative growth is a core component of a plant’s life-history strategy. Plants can modify their biomass allocation patterns to adapt to contrasting environments.

Grazing alters plant biomass allocation by regulating soil available nutrients and root biomass distribution in alpine meadows

Geoderma
Plant biomass allocation is important for understanding the material cycle and turnover in grassland ecosystems under environmental changes. However, biomass allocation involves two main hypotheses, optimal and isometric allocation, that remain ...

Vine mealybugs disrupt biomass allocation in grapevine

OENO One, 2021
Vine mealybug Planococcus ficus Signoret (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) is an important phloem-feeding pest species in many grapevine producing areas worldwide. The economic damage of P. ficus is thought to be mainly caused by sooty mould on infested grape clusters and transmission of plant viruses.

Competition alters predicted forest carbon cycle responses to nitrogen availability and elevated CO₂: simulations using an explicitly competitive, game-theoretic vegetation demographic model [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2019
Competition is a major driver of carbon allocation to different plant tissues (e.g., wood, leaves, fine roots), and allocation, in turn, shapes vegetation structure.

Cross Kingdom Metabolic Engineering Paradigm Elevating Sustainable Protein Production

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Confronting the dual crisis of escalating global protein demand and unsustainable agriculture necessitates transformative solutions. Here, we pioneer evolutionary insights from maize nitrogen optimization via asparagine synthetase (ASNS) to rewire metabolism in Pichia pastoris.

Clonal Patch Size and Ramet Position of Leymus chinensis Affected Reproductive Allocation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Reproductive allocation is critically important for population maintenance and usually varies with not only environmental factors but also biotic ones. As a typical rhizome clonal plant in China's northern grasslands, Leymus chinensis usually dominates ...
