The objective was to investigate how nitrogen allocation patterns in plants are affected by their vertical position in the vegetation (i.e. being either dominant or subordinate). A garden experiment was carried out with Amaranthus dubius L., grown from seed, in dense stands in which a size hierarchy

Effects of leaf age, nitrogen nutrition and photon flux density (PFD) on the organization of the photosynthetic apparatus in leaves were investigated in a vine, Ipomoea tricolor Cav., which was grown horizontally so as to avoid mutual shading of leaves. The plants were grown hydroponically at two ni
