Cost of reproduction in Styrax obassia

Styrax obassia is a typical masting tree species. Miyazaki et al. (pp. 767-772) find that in reproductive shoots, the amount of storage starch decreases significantly during the fruit-growing season. The leaves of reproductive shoots have high rates of photosynthesis, but are small. Therefore, the cost of reproduction depends mainly on storage starch in reproductive shoots.
