Leaf assimilates are exported to plant organs (sinks) in variable pattern according to several factors such as: plant developmental stage, leaf insertion level, intensity of defoliation. The distribution of single leaf assimilates to different fractions of Mombaçagrass plant was assessed as a function of several factors. The factors considered were: 1 Leaf insertion level (top and bottom leaves); 2 Tiller hierarchy (main and primary tillers), and 3 Plant defoliation (control and defoliated plants). Defoliated plants had their blades removed at […]

The objective of this work was to evaluate the distribution of assimilates produced by the top and bottom leaves of the main tiller in plants of Monbaçagrass (Panicum maximum), in two stages of plant development, and three harvest times after plant exposure to 14CO2 (three, eight and twenty four hours). The experimental treatments were arranged in a 2X2X3 factorial combination. The experimental design utilized was completely randomized. The exposure time to 14CO2 was 20 minutes. Each plant was separated into […]
