An ESS for the Height of a Plant Population, or an Optimal Height for an Individual?—Rethinking Game-Theoretic Models for Plant Height

Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2006
Plants only interact with neighbors over restricted distances, so local conditions are of great significance for plants. It is therefore important to consider spatial structure and neighborhood effects if we are to understand plants' strategies. We constructed a spatially-explicit, game theory model to explore optimal height growth at the individual ...

Identification of QTL Underlying Plant Height and First Branch Height of Cassava

Philippine Journal of Science, 2022
This study sought to develop a genetic map of cassava based on 91 progenies derived from a cross between “Rayong 60” (R60) and “Piroon 1” (PR1) cultivars. A total of 4,515 simple sequence repeat (SSR) primer pairs were screened against the parental lines and six progenies resulting in 656 informative polymorphic markers, which were then used to ...

Plant height and evolutionary games

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2003
In plants, investment in height improves access to light, but incurs costs in construction and maintenance of the stem. Because the benefits of plant height depend on which other height strategies are present, competition for light can usefully be framed as a game-theoretic problem. The vertical structure of the world's vegetation, which is inefficient

PLANT HEIGHT FORMATION IN DIFFERENT CULTIVARS OF KALANCHOE

Acta Horticulturae, 2005
The control of plant height is of great importance in pot plant production. In the present work, data from greenhouse experiments and from a grower were used to evaluate plant height in several kalanchoe cultivars and to study the seasonal pattern in plant height.

THE IMPACT OF FOLIAR FERTILIZERS ON HEIGHT OF BEAN PLANT

Acta Horticulturae, 2009
We investigated the effects of the foliar fertilisers - Algazor, Liksal S, Liksal N and Liksal K in the doses of 2 L/ha, 4 L/ha and 8 L/ha - on plant height in three-year trials. By applying the variance analysis and the method of the two factorial experiments, we recorded highly significant effects some of foliar fertilisers on the plant height as ...

Genetic analysis of plant height in wheat

Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 1974
Genetic studies of plant height were made of 8 wheats and the 28 crosses between them using the diallel method of analysis. The inheritance of plant height in a glasshouse-grown F1 diallel set in which vernalization and photoperiodic responses had been removed, indicated close to complete dominance in its expression.

Inositolphosphorylceramide synthases, OsIPCSs, regulate plant height in rice

Plant Science, 2023
Inositolphosphorylceramide synthase (IPCS) catalyses ceramides and phosphatidylinositol (PI) into inositolphosphorylceramide (IPC), which is involved in the regulation of plant growth and development. A total of three OsIPCS family genes have been identified in rice. However, most of their functions remain unknown.

Harnessing hormone gibberellin knowledge for plant height regulation

Plant Cell Reports, 2022
Harnessing hormone GA knowledge is a potential means to develop plant height ideotypes. Plant height holds significance for natural beauty and agricultural revolution. The increased grain productivity during the Green Revolution of the 1960s is partly attributed to the reshaping of plant stature, which is conferred by changes in phytohormone ...

Control of Plant Height

2000
Control of plant height is important for agriculture, because plant height determines the mechanical stability of many crop plants. Resistance to wind, logging resistance, efficiency of light usage, microclimate, but also the partitioning of biomass from vegetative to reproductive structures are traits that depend directly or indirectly on plant height.

The allometry of safety‐factors for plant height

American Journal of Botany, 1994
Regression curves for the relation between the critical buckling height Hcrit, and the diameter D of columnar support members composed exclusively of different tissues were established based on Greenhill's formula and previously reported mean values for the density‐specific stiffness and density‐specific strength of parenchyma, primary xylem ...
