Analyzing the Significance of Defoliation in Growth, Photosynthetic Compensation and Source-Sink Relations

open access: yesPhotosynthetica, 2012
Leaf canopy plays a determining role influencing source-sink relations as any change in source activity (photosynthesis) affects sink metabolism. Defoliation (removal of leaves) influences growth and photosynthetic capacity of plants, remobilizes carbon and nitrogen reserves and accelerates sink metabolism, leading to improved source-sink relations.

Regulation of Source/Sink Relations by Cytokinins

Plant Growth Regulation, 2000
Many physiological effects of cytokinins are well established and are known to be involved in various aspects of the plant life cycle. In contrast, little is known about how these effects are evoked at the molecular level. Since cytokinins have been shown to play a major role in the regulation of various processes associated with active growth and thus

Records of Source—Sink Relations by Means of Respiration Measurements

Journal of Experimental Botany, 1989
A method for recording respiration rates of attached single soybean pods is described. By means of such records source-sink relations can be observed over an extended period of time if photosynthesis of leaves is recorded simultaneously. It is shown that there are direct influences on respiration, such as changes in temperature and indirect effects ...

Yield and source/sink relations of spring wheat cultivars

Field Crops Research, 1989
Abstract Spikelets from one side of the ear were completely removed at flowering (treated ear) to demonstrate the different responses of old and new spring wheat cultivars to source/sink manipulation. The concepts of potential ear productivity (doubled yield of the treated ear) and potential protein content in the remaining half of the ear were ...

Investigating Source-Sink Relations in Cassava by Reciprocal Grafts

Experimental Agriculture, 1982
SUMMARYThe relation between source potentials and sink capacities of four cassava (Manihot esculentaCrantz) varieties with different characteristics was investigated by means of reciprocal grafts. There were marked differences in the sink capacities (average stock effects) and source potentials (average scion effects) of the varieties.

Source-Sink Relations: The Role of Sucrose

1996
We examine the idea that sucrose plays a central role in control of plant growth beyond that of substrate and product. The extended hypothesis we discuss is that sucrose can regulate source metabolism by down-regulating genes encoding proteins involved with photosynthesis, and sink metabolism by up-regulating genes encoding proteins involved with ...

Investigations of Source-Sink Relations in Cassava Using Reciprocal Grafting

Experimental Agriculture, 1990
SUMMARYSource-sink relations in cassava were investigated following reciprocal grafting among three cultivars of different yield groups. Both rootstock and scion had significant effects on net assimilation rate and tuber yield, demonstrating that both sink capacity and source activity are important in achieving maximum tuber yield.
