    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To study the influences of enhanced UV-B radiation and drought stress on the biomass accumulation and allocation of Fagopyrum dibotrys, and so as to provide a theoretical basis for the cultivation, the protection and use of F. dibotrys. METHOD: By experiment of potted plant, the biomass accumulation and allocation of F. dibotrys were measured under different drought stresses and UV-B radiations. RESULT: In conditions of adequate water, enhanced UV-B radiation significantly reduced biomass accumulation to root, biomass accumulation to leaves, total biomass accumulation and biomass allocation to root in F. dibotrys, while it could increase biomass allocation to stem. In conditions of moderate drought stress, enhanced UV-B radiation increased biomass accumulation to root, biomass accumulation to stem and biomass accumulation to root. In the conditions of severe drought stress, enhanced UV-B radiation increased biomass accumulation to root, it also could lead in a certain increase to biomass accumulation to stem. Biomass allocation to root, stem and leaves was not sensitive to enhanced UV-B radiation. CONCLUSION: The influences of enhanced UV-B radiation in simulation and drought stress on the biomass accumulation and allocation of F. dibotrys were determined by water conditions and different apparatus. Overall, we verified that enhanced UV-B radiation would reduce the influences of biomass accumulation of F. dibotrys by drought.
