Response of starfruit shoot and root to varying rooting volumes

Shoot and root responses of root-pruned starfruit (Averrhoa carambola) seedlings in different rooting volumes, were studied using root observation chamber. Plant height and internode number were linearly correlated with rooting volumes over time, but stomata and epidermal cell number showed no respo...
