ECOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF ASSIMILATE DISTRIBUTION IN AGROPYRON REPENS CLONES UNDER INFLUENCE OF THE COPPER SMELTER LEGNICA

Ecological significance of assimilate distribution in Agropyron repens clones under influence of the copper smelter Legnica

The studies on couch grass (Agropyron repens (L.) P.Beauv.) populations growing in stress conditions in close vicinity of a copper smelter concern the integrity of clonal structure.The connections of tillers within a clone and the interclonal integrity was investigated by means of assimilate translocation, using 14C.It was found that heavy metal st
