I. J. Bingham; A. Panico; E. A. Stevenson Physiologia Plantarum 1996. doi:10.1111/j.1399-3054.1996.tb00693.x

Other claims from this paper (11)

Intervention effect Leaf pruning reduced the extension rate of wheat seminal and lateral roots
Intervention effect Onset of the response to pruning occurred within 1 h in lateral roots
Intervention effect Onset of the response to pruning occurred between 2 and 3 h in seminal roots
Association In seminal roots, the reduction in extension rate was preceded by a decrease in soluble sugar content of the apical growth zone
Intervention effect Supplying glucose to defoliated wheat roots led to a steady increase in extension rate compared with non-fed controls
Intervention effect Supplying 3-O-methyl glucose had no effect on wheat root extension
Association The reduction in extension rate of seminal roots was accompanied or slightly preceded by a reduction in respiratory O2 uptake in the apical growth zone
Observation Changes in respiratory activity in the basal growth zone only occurred several hours after extension rate was reduced
Intervention effect At the time extension rate was reduced, the rate of O2 uptake of wheat roots could be stimulated with FCCP
Mechanism Respiration in wheat roots is suggested to be under the fine control of adenylates
Intervention effect Defoliation caused a rapid reduction in respiratory capacity in the root apex before any change in overall respiration
