Fig 1.
Biomass (dry mass DM, g) of the stems (a), roots (b), leaf blades (c), leaf sheathes (d), whole plant (e, excluding the dead shoot) and dead shoots (f) of A. anomala individual plants growing in either well-drained soil or submerged at water temperatures of 10°C, 20°C or 30°C in Experiment II.
The missing data for the living biomass of the leaf blade and leaf sheath is due to leaf decay by submergence (n = 5, points = means ± SE).
Fig 2.
Glucose, fructose, sucrose and starch (mg·g-1 DM) content in the leaf blades (a–d), leaf sheathes (e–h), roots (i–l) and stems (m–p) of A. anomala plants growing in either well-drained soil (closed circle) or submerged at water temperatures of 10°C, 20°C or 30°C in Experiment II.
The missing data for the carbohydrate content of the leaf blades and leaf sheathes occurred due to leaf decay from submergence (n = 5, points = means ± SE).
Fig 3.
Carbohydrate pools (i.e., the total amount of glucose, fructose, sucrose and starch, g) in the stems (a), roots (b), leaf blades (c), leaf sheathes (d) and whole plants (e, excluding the dead shoot) of A. anomala either growing in either well-drained soil or submerged at water temperatures of 10°C, 20°C or 30°C in Experiment II.
(n = 5, points = means ± SE).
Fig 4.
Carbohydrate content (mg·g-1 DM) in living stems and dead stems (from plants harvested at day 30 submerged at 30°C) and in living leaves and dead leaves (from plants harvested at day 30 submerged at 30°C).
Points = mean + SE, n = 5. *, p < 0.05, ns, p > 0.05.
