All leaves, roots and stems dry weights from each plant collected in each sample population were recorded.
The MANOVA analysis for morphometric traits from plants measured in laboratory such as leaf area, leaf length, average and maximum width of leaf, leaves, roots and stems dry weights showed significant differences between sample populations (Wilks = 0.036, F = 3.64, p = 0.01).
Post-submergence stem dry weight correlated positively and strongly with survival, with r values of 0.98, 0.97 and 0.91 during the 2005 WS and the 2006 and 2007 DSs, respectively, following 17 days of submergence.
Measured stem dry weight increased from 21 kg·tree−1 in 6 yr.
old plantations compared to the measured (Fig. 2b), while stem dry weight was severely overestimated in 34 yr.
The dry weight fraction (panicle/stem) of a single tiller was determined by calculating the dry weight of the panicle divided by the corresponding stem dry weight.
Where SDW is the stem dry weight BDW is the branch dry weight of the tree and LDW is the leaf dry weight of the tree measured in kg, respectively.
The eight medium late potato cultivars grown in the year 2000 under non-limiting conditions differed significantly (P < 0.05) for leaf and stem dry weight, leaf/stem mass ratio, leaf number, leaf area, and other canopy structure parameters.
Fig. 1 Leaf N content (A), root dry weight (B), stem dry weight (C), leaf dry weight (D) and root/shoot dry weight ratio (E) of tea trees in relation to nitrogen (N) supply (0, 50, 100, 300, 1200 and 6000 μmol L−1).
Additionally, reduced plant height and stem diameter resulted in a significant reduction in stem dry weight.
