Discussions for plant physiology 162: quantitative research modules in plant physiology. Plant growth analysis: please ope(cid:374) the (cid:862)growthanalysistool(cid:863) spreadsheet. This work(cid:271)ook (cid:272)o(cid:374)tai(cid:374)s two sheets that allow calculations of relative growth rate and absolute growth rates given inputted data. Data for estimating growth rates and biomass allocation parameters is collected by growth experiments. See http://prometheuswiki. publish. csiro. au/tiki- index. php?page=relative+growth+rate+and+its+components for more information on collection of this type of data. In the second sheet of the workbook, data can be entered for biomass allocation variables and. Ulr, and the spreadsheet calculates lar, rgr, final biomass and agr. I(cid:374) the (cid:862)har(cid:448)est data(cid:863) sheet, please look at ro(cid:449)s (cid:1010) a(cid:374)d (cid:1011). These (cid:272)o(cid:374)(cid:272)er(cid:374) t(cid:449)o differe(cid:374)t pla(cid:374)ts which started growing exactly the same, but the second one (i. e. , in row 7) grew to double the mass of the other at time 2 while keeping the same biomass allocation. Simulate differences in final mass to determine how high it would have to be for rgr to have doubled.
