Cycas micronesica Stem Carbohydrates Decline Following Leaf and Male Cone Growth Events
Plants, 2020 The growth of synchronized leaf flushes or male cones on Cycas trees is an ephemeral event, and non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs) are likely deployed from stem and root storage tissues to support their construction. The relationships among various stem
