Wageningen Agricultural University, Department of Horticulture, Haagsteeg 3, 6708 PM Wageningen, The Netherlands Dry matter partitioning in a tomato plant: one common assimilate pool? [Elektronische Daten] [E. Heuvelink] The influence of the distance (transport resistance) between source and sink on dry matter distribution between fruits and vegetative parts in tomato was studied. In two glasshouse experiments, a control treatment (single-shoot plants, no truss removal) was conducted, together with two double-shoot treatments: double-shoot plants with no trusses removed from one shoot and all trusses removed at anthesis from the other shoot (100-0) and double-shoot plants with every second truss removed from both shoots (50-50). Plant growth and dry matter distribution was recorded by periodical destructive harvests, during a period of about 100 d after anthesis of the first truss. In experiment 2, plants were probably sink-limited. At the end of both experiments, 58-60% of dry matter was in the fruits for control plants, whereas for both double-shoot treatments this was 43% (Experiment 1) or 38% (Experiment 2). Until 60-65 d after first flowering, vegetative growth of the individual shoots in both double-shoot treatments was the same. Results supported the assumption of one common assimilate pool and showed no significant influence of distance (transport resistance) between source and sink on dry matter partitioning. © Oxford University Press Research Papers nationallicence Allocation nationallicence distance nationallicence dry matter distribution nationallicence one assimilate pool nationallicence partitioning nationallicence transport resistance nationallicence tomato nationallicence Journal of Experimental Botany Oxford University Press 46/8(1995-08), 1025-1033 0022-0957 46:8<1025 1995 46 exbotj https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/46.8.1025 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/46.8.1025 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Heuvelink E.
