Inter-organ control of photosynthesis mediated by emerging nodal roots in young maize plants
Chapter
Abstract
Root systems participate, as a whole, in maintaining the functional equilibrium between the root and shoot of developing plants [1, for review: 8]. This equilibrium was studied from different angles and some of them were discussed during the symposium by R. K. Szaniawski, Z. Starck and E. Czajkowska, D. Richards, E. M. Wiedenroth, and others (Part VI, this volume).
