The Strength of Banana Petioles in relation to Ploidy

Tipo de material: TextoTextoSeries ; Annals of Botany, 16(3), p.341-347, 1952Trabajos contenidos:
  • Simmonds, N.W
Recursos en línea: Resumen: The strength of the banana petiole has been measured as the breaking strength corrected by covariance for the weight of the Inmina it bears. Strength is less in triploids (as compared with diploids)and still less in tetraploids, thus agreeing with the field observation that polyploids have weaker leaves than diploids. There are also differences between plants of different specific origins. Subsidiary results concern the weight of the leaf and the leaf index (length/ breadth)in relation to ploidy.
