Leaf Area Growth

The leaf area growth in maize was approximated basing on the Richards function in the form of: y=A[l+b exp(-kt)]<sup>1/(1-m)</sup> . The constant coefficients of the Richards function were found by means of the Marquardt's method. The initial values of parameters were given basing on results of the preliminary approximation of the growth process by means of logistic function y = A[l+b exp(-kt)]<sup>-1</sup>. The procedure of nonlinear regression was found to be useful (curvilinear determination coefficient R<sup>2</sup> = 0.995). The Richards curve precisely describes the course of changes of the leaf area in maize since sprouting to a tassel flowering phase.

Green ash (Fraxinuspennsylvanica Marsh.) seedlings were either inoculated with Glomusetunicatum or not inoculated and grown for approximately 5 weeks under glasshouse conditions to permit root colonization with vesicular–arbuscular (V–A) mycorrhizae. Two experiments were conducted to characterize V–A mycorrhizae influence on seedling growth at low root temperature. In experiment 1, seedlings were subjected to four root zone temperatures ranging from 7.5 to 20 °C for 24 days to measure leaf area and plant height on intact seedlings. In experiment 2, seedlings were exposed to root temperatures of 12.0, 16.0, and 20.0 °C for 30 days and seedlings were destructively harvested at 6-day intervals to measure growth variables and biomass distribution. Results of experiments 1 and 2 were similar. In experiment 1, leaf area growth of mycorrhizal seedlings was significantly greater than nonmycorrhizal controls at all temperatures. Relative leaf area growth rate was greater in mycorrhizal than nonmycorrhizal seedlings at 7.5 and 11.5 °C, similar between treatments at 15.5 °C, and greater in nonmycorrhizal seedlings at 20.0 °C, differences possibly resulting from the larger size of mycorrhizal seedlings at the start of the temperature treatments. In experiment 2, temperature treatments were imposed on seedlings of the same size. Mycorrhizal seedlings had greater leaf area growth rates and relative leaf area growth rates than nonmycorrhizal seedlings at all temperatures. Phosphorus concentrations and total P content in roots and leaves did not differ significantly between mycorrhizal treatments at any temperature; however, mycorrhizal seedlings had consistently greater leaf P content than nonmycorrhizal controls. Glomusetunicatum actively stimulates green ash growth at moderately low root temperatures.

In a series of 14 tests, seedlings of 60 cultivars of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) were assessed for growth rate at a suboptimal temperature of 10 C. Seedlings were grown in a growth cabinet, and the leaf area growth rate (LAGR) was determined from measurements of the primary leaf before and after treatment. LAGR differed significantly between selected low temperature-tolerant cultivars of similar seed weight. However, for all varieties tested, LAGR and seed weight were significantly correlated. It was concluded that several of the bean accessions such as P.I. 136701 and the cv. Limelight possessed a high degree of tolerance to suboptimal temperatures during early leaf growth and that this character could be used effectively in a breeding program.

An equation was developed which may be used to estimate the area of all sizes of developing squash (Cucurbita pepo L.) leaves. The equation uses two leaf measurements (midrib length (ML) and the distance between tertiary lobes (TD)) which may be taken quickly in the laboratory or field without disturbing the host plant. The equation is:[Formula: see text]The equation is applicable in monitoring individual leaf expansion as well as total plant leaf area increase and in examining the dynamics of the plant under various environmental conditions.Key words: Cucurbita pepo L., leaf area, growth, development, leaf expansion
