Abstract: | Summary Translocation of assimilates in plants of Echinochloa crus-galli, from Quebec and Mississippi, and of Eleusine indica from Mississippi was monitored, before and after night chilling, using radioactive tracing with the short-life isotope 11C. Plants were grown at 28°/22°C (day/night temperatures) under either 350 or 675 l·l-1 CO2. Low night temperature reduced translocation mainly by increasing the turn-over times of the export pool. E. crus-galli plants from Mississippi were the most susceptible to chilling; translocation being completely inhibited by exposure for one night to 7°C at 350 l·l-1 CO2. Overall, plants from Quebec were the most tolerant to chilling-stress. For plants of all three populations, growth under CO2 enrichment resulted in higher 11C activity in the leaf phloem. High CO2 concentrations also seemed to buffer the transport system against chilling injuries. |
