The phrase "allocation in plants" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing resource distribution or management within botanical or ecological studies.
Example: "The allocation in plants of nutrients and water is crucial for their growth and survival in varying environments."
Alternatives: "resource distribution in plants" or "nutrient allocation in plants".
Carbon allocation in plants is generally partitioned between reserve accumulation and growth and development.
Source-sink relationship and carbon allocation in plants are regulated by complex metabolic and signaling networks [ 23].
Imaging tools that measure photoassimilate transport and allocation in plants non-destructively on appropriate spatial and temporal scales will facilitate investigations of the genetic, biochemical, and physiological mechanisms underlying C-transport and C-allocation [ 12].
To test the role of fungal GH32 genes in determining the mode of C acquisition and allocation in plant-fungal symbiosis we have investigated the evolution of GH32 genes throughout the fungi using a phylogenetic approach.
Our results show that, by optimizing certain parameters and accounting for geometry of plants, commercial PET scanners can be used reliably not only to measure C-allocation in plants but also to study dynamics in photoassimilate transport.
Although important aspects of whole-plant carbon allocation in crop plants (e.g., to grain) occur late in development when the plants are large, techniques to study carbon transport and allocation processes have not been adapted for large plants.
Allocation to reproduction responded to the presence of root neighbours (figure 2) but not to relatedness, with the greatest flowering allocation in solitary plants (least square means for individual plants: root neighbours=0.053, solitary plants 0.073; n=332, t=31.7, p<0.0013).
M. euphorbiae is expected to modify nitrogen allocation in tomato plants by competing with plant sinks and altering the amino acid composition of the phloem sap [ 83, 84].
The levels of essential inorganic nutrients have to be tightly controlled inside individual cells and organs, but information about nutrient uptake and needs also have to be transferred between organs to optimize nutrient allocation, especially in plants growing under sub-optimal conditions.
This capability revealed extreme changes in carbon allocation in sorghum plants, as they advanced to maturity.
Thus, increased invertase enzyme activity and the resultant decline in sucrose concentrations in sink tissues is intimately tied to phloem unloading and carbon allocation in the plant [ 3, 4].
