Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Excising cotyledons at an early stage decreased radish plant growth.
- Observation Dry weight of cotyledons decreased in the dark.
- Observation Dry weight of the other organs increased in the dark.
- Observation Dry weight of every organ increased in the light.
- Intervention effect In decotylized plants grown in the light, dry weight of hypocotyls and roots decreased.
- Observation The foliage leaves are the strongest sink among the radish organs.
- Observation The growth phase of the Rapid Red radish cultivar can be divided into two periods.
- Mechanism Growth of foliage leaves in phase 1 is enhanced by reserve materials and photosynthetic products supplied from cotyledons.
- Mechanism Hypocotyl growth in phase 2 is caused by a sufficient supply of photosynthetic products from foliage leaves.
- Mechanism The decrease in radish growth caused by decotylization is due to the decrease in foliage leaf growth.
