Abstract
Root growth, development and frost resistance were examined in winter rye ( Secale cereale L. cv. Puma) plants grown under 6 combinations of temperature and photoperiod (20/16°C or 5/3°C, day/night; 8, 16‐ or 24‐h days). Overall root system growth is influenced by the interaction of temperature and photoperiod. Maximum shoot growth occurs at a 24‐h photoperiod in 20°C plants and at a 16‐h photoperiod in 5°C plants, and is correlated in both treatments with a high root:shoot ratio. Frost resistance of rye roots is affected by short photoperiods in 2 ways. First, short photoperiod and low temperature delay production of new adventitious roots so that newly developing roots are not exposed to freezing temperatures. Second, short photoperiod alone can induce several degrees of frost tolerance in existing roots during the lag phase of growth. Low temperature alone does not decrease the rate of dry weight accumulation in rye root systems, but cold temperature does retard developmental processes within the roots. Rye roots grown at 5°C develop first order lateral roots, differentiate metaxylem vessels and suberize endodermal cell walls more slowly than roots grown at 20°C.
