Nutrient content of Abutilon theophrasti seeds and the competitive ability of the resulting plants.

摘要: Siblings of Abutilon theophrasti, were grown on a nutrient gradient. The plants at higher levels larger and produced more seeds than lower soil concentrations. There no differences in germinability seeds, but the competitive abilities resulting markedly different. In two different competition experiments designed to eliminate effects genotype, seed size, germination time, by using synchronously germinated seedlings derived from similar size levels, we found that consistently, outperformed levels. dominance may be explained fact they had concentrations nitrogen did additional advantage increased quality controlling resource their neighbors would expected accelerate contributions gene pool population.
