Selecting for Partitioning of Photosynthetic Products in Crops

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter reviews genetic and environmental regulation of partitioning photosynthetic products, present criteria for selecting plants increased into the economic yield, summarizes progress made in several crops. The production adequate food, feed, fiber depends upon conversion sun's energy useful plant animal products. Increasing world populations decreasing natural resources demand that these fundamental life-sustaining processes should be both effective efficient. Synthesis, translocation, partitioning, accumulation products within are controlled genetically influenced by environment. Partitioning, differential distribution deposition assimilate among organs, tissues, cells more Production efficiency is determined genotype Cultural practices affect growth rate total seasonal biomass accumulation. Stand, or density, plays a major role determining solar to product per unit land area.
