Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Roots grew well when shoot growth was absent.
- Association Root growth decreased after shoot growth began.
- Intervention effect Removing shoot growth points increased the fraction of photosynthate used for root growth.
- Intervention effect Short-day treatment increased the fraction of photosynthate used for root growth.
- Intervention effect Reducing shoot growth increased root/shoot ratios.
- Mechanism The authors attribute the growth balance to competition for photosynthetic carbohydrates.
