Growth of Root Systems and Changes in Phloridzin Content in Fibrous Roots of Container-grown Apple Transplants

摘要

We previously reported that the root respiratory activity in apple transplants coincided with the growth pattern of the root system and those of container-grown apple transplants were lower than field-grown transplants. The present report focuses on a phenolic compound (phloridzin) known as an allelopathic substance in the fibrous root of transplants grown in different container types: a black polyethylene container and an air-pruning container.
