Growth and N uptake in pot-grown maize, beans, and cassava were evaluated under 2 levels of soil N at CIAT-Palmira (Colombia). The lower amount of the element reduced its uptake by the 3 species, resulting in lower tissue concn., especially in the leaves. Under low N, DM accumulation was also red...

The humidity factor in stomatal control and its effect on crop productivity
Different physiological characteristics of the cassava plant, which can be used as selection parameters, are reviewed, namely LAI, HI, biomass production, plants with amphistomatic leaves, and C4 photosynthesis. Experience indicates that it is better to select var. showing lower yield reduction u...
Se revisan diferentes caracteristicas fisiologicas de la planta de yuca que se pueden utilizar como parametros de seleccion: IAF, IC, produccion de biomasa, plantas con hojas amfistomatosas y fotosintesis C4. Se enfatiza que se debe tratar de seleccionar var. que presenten menor disminucion en co...

Caracteristicas fisiologicas para la seleccion de yuca
In recent studies of cassava at CIAT, net CO2 uptake rates of 20 to 35 ?mol CO2 m?2 s?1 were commonly observed. Cassava photosynthesis has a high optimum temperature (35°C) and a wide plateau (25 to 35°C) corresponding to the temperature range under which cassava is cultivated. Leaf photosynthesi...
To determine the presence of Kranz anatomy, chloroplast structure and distribution in cassava leaf tissues, a selection was made among materials of CIAT`s germplasm bank. Two materials were selected, var. MCol 22 and hybrid CM 507-37; work was also carried out with maize var. Swan Laposta C48B (m...

Cassava, bean, and maize leaves were fed with (14)CO2 in light; the primary products of photosynthesis were identified 5 and 10 s after assimilation. In cassava, approx. 40-60 percent were incorporated in C4 acids with 30-50 percent in phosphoglyceric acid, which indicates that cassava possesses ...
