... BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Legume-cereal mixtures are often characterized by higher biomass and grain yields compared to their sole crop equivalents due to complementary resource use. Little is known about the contribution of the root system to this overyielding potential and the related cultivar differences. This study investigated pure stands and mixtures of eight winter faba bean (Vicia faba L.) geno ...

Abstract:
... AIMS: Low-vigour scion cultivars and dwarfing rootstocks are a significant contributing factor to the success of modern temperate orchard systems. Planting density and canopy efficiency are currently limited in macadamia by a lack of low-vigour cultivars and rootstocks. The relationships between xylem vessel diameter, hydraulic conductivity and vigour are implicated in dwarf cultivars and low-vigo ...
