Effects of shading on plant tissue carbohydrate concentrations.

Abstract

<p>Shoot sucrose concentrations during (A) Pre-shading, (B) Post-shading and (C) Recovery and root sucrose concentrations during (D) Pre-shading, (E) Post-shading and (F) Recovery of <i>Z. marina</i> grown in shaded and non-shaded mono- and polycultures. The differing letters above bars in (A) denote significant differences (p<0.05, sequential Šidák’s <i>post hoc</i> test). To ascertain equal samples at each sampling event, Pre-shading treatments that had not received shading were labeled shaded (see Materials and Methods).</p
