Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Shading reduced total dry matter production by 29 percent.
- Intervention effect Shading did not affect taproot sucrose content on a dry weight basis.
- Intervention effect Supply treatments altered root size, with compensating changes in vascular ring frequency.
- Intervention effect Supply treatments left vascular density unchanged.
- Intervention effect Supply treatments left cell size unchanged.
- Mechanism The authors infer a constant ratio of sucrose to nonsucrose dry matter across photosynthate supply.
