Whole-plant adjustments in coconut (Cocos nucifera) in response to sink-source imbalance.

Tree physiology - 1 Aug 2008

Mialet-Serra I, Clement-Vidal A, Roupsard O, Jourdan C, Dingkuhn M

Abstract excerpt

Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) is a perennial tropical monocotyledon that produces fruit continuously. The physiological function of the large amounts of sucrose stored in coconut stems is unknown. To test the hypothesis that reserve storage and mobilization enable the crop to adjust to variable sink-source relationships at the scale of the whole plant, we investigated the dynamics of dry matter production, yield...
