Global Allocation Rules for Patterns of Biomass Partitioning in Seed Plants

Science, 2002
A general allometric model has been derived to predict intraspecific and interspecific scaling relationships among seed plant leaf, stem, and root biomass. Analysis of a large compendium of standing organ biomass sampled across a broad sampling of taxa inhabiting diverse ecological habitats supports the relations predicted by the model and defines the ...

CONSUMERS AFFECT PREY BIOMASS AND DIVERSITY THROUGH RESOURCE PARTITIONING

Ecology, 2007
Consumer presence and nutrient availability can have contrasting and interactive effects on plant diversity. In a factorial experiment, we manipulated two levels of nutrient supply and the presence of two moderately specialized grazers in different combinations (no grazers, two species in monoculture, and both in combination).

Sand Abrasion Injury and Biomass Partitioning in Cotton Seedlings

Agronomy Journal, 2009
Wind blown soil particle abrasion negatively impacts millions of hectares of crops annually. The goal of this study was to examine the effects of wind and wind blown sand abrasion damage on cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) seedling biomass partitioning to leaves, stems, and roots.

Growth and biomass partitioning in zinc‐toxic bush beans

Journal of Plant Nutrition, 1988
Abstract Bush bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) were grown during the exponential growth phase in nutrient solution containing 2, 6.6, 9.6 or 13.5 μM Zn. At six different harvest intervals samples were taken for dry weight and Zn content determinations.

Improving biomass production and partitioning in sugarcane: theory and practice

Field Crops Research, 2005
Abstract Sucrose yields in sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) could be improved by increasing the efficiency of biomass production per unit of intercepted radiation and/or by increasing the fraction of total biomass partitioned to stalk sucrose, or both.

On the Allometry of Biomass Partitioning and Light Harvesting for Plants with Leafless Stems

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2002
Prior explicit allometric models are extended to predict the scaling relationship between the ability of plants with leafless stems to harvest sunlight H and total standing plant biomass M(T) (which equals the sum of standing stem and root biomass, M(S) and M(R)).

Abscisic Acid and Biomass Partitioning in Tomato Under Salinity

2012
Increasing soil salinization is an enormous cause of crop productivity reduction in many areas of the world. It has a deep backlash on crop yields because it reduces leaf growth and induces leaf senescence, this in turn reduces plant assimilation activity, impairing its capacity for producing further growth or harvestable biomass.

Biomass and nitrogen partitioning during crop growth

2010
Sumary of the book : Rich in bibliographic references, this book presents the current status of knowledge on the physiology of the pea crop. It draws on contributions from plant physiologists and researchers in various other disciplines who have been working together for many years on the production of plants rich in proteins.

Macronutrient accumulation and partitioning in sugarcane biomass grown in the Burdekin region

Sugar Industry international
Understanding of how nutrients accumulate and partition in sugarcane is important for fine-tuning fertiliser recommendations to improve nutrient-use efficiency in a profitable, productive and ecologically sustainable farming system. The commercial sugarcane varieties Q253, Q208 and KQ228, which are grown in the Burdekin, were sampled several times ...
