Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Seedling mortality occurred at 15/10 °C, while seedlings survived at all higher temperatures.
- Intervention effect Shoot weight increased with temperature up to 33/28 °C when compared at a common chronological age.
- Intervention effect Shoot weight showed no difference at a common developmental age across temperatures.
- Association Mean individual leaf area and NAR did not increase beyond 27/22 °C.
- Association Shoot weight increments in primary growth were the same in winter and summer when expressed per unit of radiation.
- Association Leaf area per unit weight was sensitive to changes in radiation associated with differences in daylength.
- Intervention effect Rate of shoot weight accumulation in regrowth was greater than in primary growth because of rapid tillering following defoliation.
