Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Bulb organs serving as sinks and sources changed through development.
- Mechanism Before new foliage supplied photosynthates, growth depended on stored leaf-base reserves.
- Mechanism Stored reserves supported new leaves, roots and daughter-bulb enlargement.
- Observation Once foliage became a photosynthate source, reserves were stored in old and new leaf bases.
- Observation The inflorescence became the major sink when scape elongation began.
- Observation Daughter bulbs subsequently became dominant sinks.
