Abstract

All nodal roots were removed immediately after they appeared in seedlings of sweet sorghum cv. Buciansky grown in nutrient solution for 35-45 days after germination (until the beginning of tillering). Root removal reduced net photosynthetic rate, but did not affect the 2 peaks in the rate, one of which appeared at the beginning of the growth of nodal roots and the second at the growth of the 1st tiller. Changes in the rate of dark respiration followed those in net photosynthesis.
