Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Reported relative light intensities were 72/100 for diploids, 54/100 for tetraploids, 32/100 for hexaploids and 34/100 for octoploids.
- Observation Relative light intensity was described as decreasing with chromosome duplication.
- Observation Polyploid plants were described as growing well in shade.
- Observation The authors attributed shade growth to transpiration control and root absorption balance.
