Abstract
Low moisture supply, controlled by 3 methods (adding NaCl to a complete nutrient solution, allowing a cut stalk to wilt, or withholding irrigation in the field), decreased the velocity and percentage rate of translocation of 14C-photosynthate. The surplus sucrose not used in growth moved more slowly in the phloem and was stored in the stalk.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
