Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Girdling inhibited movement of labelled sucrose from leaves to roots.
- Observation Starch accumulated throughout girdled seedlings, including their roots.
- Mechanism Girdling triggered root starch accumulation independently of carbohydrate transport from leaves.
- Association Specific activity of accumulated starch decreased as leaf starch content rose.
- Intervention effect Girdling increased fresh weight throughout the seedling.
- Intervention effect Girdling decreased rootlet percentage dry weight.
