Regeneration from rhizome fragments of Agropyron repens

Annals of Applied Biology (1977)

Roger R.B. Leakey R. J. Chancellor Daphne Vince‐Prue

SUMMARY Experiments were done with rhizome fragments of Agropyron repens with or without ‘late spring dormancy’. Increasing concentrations of KN0 3 from 1 to 210 ppm successively increased the percentage of buds released from dormancy, but the restriction of shoot extension was significantly lessened only when concentrations of nitrogen were 50 ppm or more. Solutions of sodium nitrite, ammonium chloride and glutamic acid with equal nitrogen contents were equally effective in releasing buds from dormancy. Larger amounts of nitrogen were required to stimulate growth in basal buds, than in apical buds. GA 3 , and chilling at – 2 o C slightly increased the percentage of buds growing but did not significantly affect the amount of extension growth, while ethephon (2‐chloroethylphosphonic acid) had no effect. The restoration of regenerative capacity was associated with increased utilization of rhizome sugars. In single‐node rhizome fragments with ‘late spring dormancy’, chilling for 2 wk slightly increased the regenerative capacity but chilling for longer periods decreased it, possibly because respiration during the protracted period of chilling depleted rhizome reserves. Chilling also increased the utilization of rhizome carbohydrates during subsequent growth. Node position affected regenerative capacity: buds from the apical end of the rhizomes were found to have the highest regenerative capacity, this being associated with their greater nitrogen content. Because the name ‘late spring dormancy’ seems to be inappropriate for this phenomena, the term ‘Restricted Regenerative Capacity’ is proposed.

The plant environment: light and water

David S. Ingram Daphne Vince‐Prue Peter Gregory

This chapter first describes the control of gas exchange (CO2, O2 and water vapour) by the plant, and the structure and functions of stomata. The mechanisms that enable plants to detect lack of light are outlined, and shade tolerators and shade avoiders compared. The problems for plants posed by water stress, and the physical and biochemical adaptations that enable them to grow in dry conditions, notably C-4 and crassulacean acid metabolism, are described. The value of different physical adaptations for conserving water largely depends on the conditions in which a plant is growing and the combination of modifications it possesses. The chapter discusses the adaptation of plants to saline conditions, which is followed by a survey of how plants deal with excess water leading to a discussion on aquatic plants. Finally, advice is given on watering practice and choosing garden plants able to cope with drought.

Growing plants from seed

David S. Ingram Daphne Vince‐Prue Peter Gregory

This chapter considers the scientific principles underlying the raising of plants from seed. First, it discusses seed production and germination, which is followed by a discussion on seed storage. As a general rule, the storage life of a seed is doubled by reducing the temperature by 5 degrees Celsius or the seed moisture content by 1%. The chapter describes the physiological mechanisms and ecological significance of seed dormancy and germination requirements, and how both affect the germination of seeds by gardeners. The seeds of about two-thirds of all species are dormant at maturity, and these species are in the majority in almost all of the world's biomes. The chapter also describes the three types of dormancy: physiological dormancy, morphological dormancy and physical dormancy. Seeds should only be collected when fully mature, a condition normally recognisable by their being hard, dry and often straw-coloured, brown or black in colour.

Climate and weather

David S. Ingram Daphne Vince‐Prue Peter Gregory

Awareness of local climate can still be invaluable when growing plants, and can make the difference between success and failure, particularly while trying to establish them. This chapter surveys the major aspects of weather (temperature, precipitation, wind, sunlight) as they affect gardens, as well as climatic factors on a broader scale. The measurements that contribute to a picture of weather are described, and ways in which various elements of weather influence plant growth and performance. Seasonality can be associated with the type of precipitation also, for example in montane areas, where for most of the winter months the precipitation is in the form of snow, which accumulates, creating a deep layer that insulates the plants underneath. The chapter assists gardeners in understanding weather forecasts, and enables them to make best use of their gardens, whatever the location.
