Early development of roble (Nothofagus obliqua): an architectural analysis of provenances from Argentina

Abstract

Se estudió el desarrollo arquitectural en tres años de plántulas de Nothofagus obliqua bajo condiciones de vivero. Las plántulas derivaron de semillas de cinco procedencias dentro del área de distribución natural de esta especie en Argentina. En no menos de 40 plantas por procedencia se registraron: longitud, número de nudos y diámetro basal de los brotes anuales del eje vertical principal. El brote del primer año de todas las plántulas consistió en una sola unidad de alargamiento (UA), el del segundo año en una o dos UA y el del tercero en una, dos o tres UA. El desarrollo de dos o tres UA resultó invariablemente de la muerte del meristema apical luego de la primera UA. Las consecuencias más evidentes de la existencia de más de un evento de alargamiento en un año fueron: (a) mayores longitud y número de nudos en ese año, (b) mayor engrosamiento del tronco al nivel del suelo y (c) un período de alargamiento más largo. Plantas de diferente procedencia difirieron en la longitud del brote del primer año y en las proporciones de brotes de los años siguientes con una o varias UA.

The architectural development of three-year-old seedlings of Nothofagus obliqua under nursery conditions was studied. The seedlings were grown from seeds collected from five provenances within the natural distribution area of this species in Argentina. The length, number of nodes and basal diameter of the main axis’ annual shoots were registered for 40 or more seedlings per provenance. The first-year shoot of all seedlings consisted on one extension unit (EU); second-year shoots had one or two EU and third-year shoots one, two or three EU. The development of a second or a third EU always resulted from the death of the apex of the first or second EU respectively. The most evident consequences of the existence of more than one EU in one year were: (a) greater length and number of nodes per shoot in that year, (b) a thicker stem at ground level and (c) a longer extension period. Plants from different provenances differed in the length of the first-year shoot and the proportion of second- and third-year shoots with one or more than one EU.
