ZHOU Yong-Bin, WU Dong-Dong, YU Da-Pao, SUI Chen-Ying. VARIATIONS OF NONSTRUCTURAL CARBOHYDRATE CONTENT IN BETULA ERMANII AT DIFFERENT ELEVATIONS OF CHANGBAI MOUNTAIN, CHINA[J]. Chin J Plant Ecol, 2009, 33(1): 118-124.
Fig. 1 Total sugar content in leaves and branches of Betula ermanii growing at different altitudes (mean ± SE, n=3) Capital letters indicate significant difference at the 0.01 probability level among altitudes by LSD test
Fig. 2 Sucrose and fructose content in leaves and branches of Betula ermanii growing at different altitudes (mean ± SE, n=3) Capital letters indicate significant difference at the 0.01 probability level, and small letters indicate significant difference at the 0.05 probability level among altitudes by LSD test
Fig. 3 Starch content in leaves and branches of Betula ermanii growing at different altitudes (mean ± SE, n=3) Small letters indicate significant difference at the 0.05 probability level among altitudes by LSD test
Fig. 4 Concentrations of nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC), as the sum of free sugars and starch, in leaves and branches of Betula ermanii growing at different altitudes Small letters indicate significant difference at the 0.05 probability level among altitudes by LSD test
