Body
Soluble carbohydrate reserves are often considered the primary source of carbon for regrowth defoliation (Cook 1966; Trlica & Singh 1979; Deregibus, Trlica & Jameson 1982). However, in several species there is little, if any, mobilization of reserves from roots to shoots following defoliation (Marshall & Sagar 1965; Davidson & Milthorpe 1966) and correlations between soluble carbohydrates and regrowth have frequently been unsuccessful (May 1960; Ward & Blaser 1961; Jameson 1963; Stoddart, Smith & Box 1975; Caldwell et al. 1981).Â
