Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Increasing irradiance increased vegetative shoot dry weight.
- Intervention effect Increasing irradiance decreased the proportion of total dry matter allocated to vegetative shoot.
- Intervention effect Irradiance stimulated stem dry matter production less than leaf and petiole production, and root production most.
- Intervention effect Higher temperature did not affect dry matter allocation to leaves, stems and petioles in fruit-bearing plants.
- Intervention effect Higher temperature reduced dry matter allocation to roots in fruit-bearing plants.
- Intervention effect Fruit growth strongly reduced dry matter production of all vegetative parts.
- Intervention effect Fruit growth only slightly affected dry matter distribution among stems, leaves and petioles.
- Intervention effect At 25 degrees, fruit growth did not affect root versus vegetative shoot allocation.
