Carbohydrate Utilization as a Factor in Plant Growth

Abstract: SummaryThe growth of potato plants (Solanum tuber08um L.) was studied over a period of 13 days. The dry weights of the principal organs, leaf areas, and soluble sugar contents of selected leaves were determined on four occasions.Removal of tubers 21 days after the commencement of tuber initiation reduced the absolute growth rates aud net assimilation rates of the plants.It is suggested that the assimilation of plants under high light intensities may be restricted by their ability to utilize or store products o… Show more

“…This has been shown for example with apples (Maggs, 1963), pea (Flinn, 1974), peach (Chalmers et al, 1975), pepper (Hall & Milthorpe, 1978) and soybean (Kokubun & Watanabe, 1983;Seddigh & Jolliff, 1984). A similar response is also associated with other rapidly growing storage organs such as potatoes (Burt, 1964;Nosberger & Humphries, 1965) and tuberous roots (Hozyo & Park, 1971). Rather anomalous results were obtained recently by Lauer & Shibles (1987) when pod set and the growth rate of soybean were increased by an early thinning treatment and this was accompanied by an increase in the photosynthetic rate of the young leaves and no change in the mature leaves.…”

“…The data show that TNC of leaves or stems had very little influence on the (Burt, 1964) and pepper (Kriedemann et al, 1976). However, sink removal in wheat (King et al, 1967) and soybeans (Mondai et al, 1978) has been observed to decrease leaf CER within 24 hours.…”

“…Inhibition of leaf CER has been observed in small grains (Birecka and Dakic-Wlodkowska, 1963;King et al, 1967), vegetables (Claussen and Biller, 1977;Hall and Milthorpe, 1978), root crops, (Burt, 1964;Nosberger and Humphries, 1965), legumes (Crookston et al, 1974;Mondai et al, 1978), and maize (Kiesselbach, 1948;Moss, 1962). The observed decline in CER may occur from 24 hours to 40 days after sink removal, depending upon the species and method of treatment.…”
