Indeed, branch number is the main trait driving panicle sink size, and we hypothesize that light (or assimilate) resources predominantly affect numbers (of branches or spikelets) rather than their size.
We conclude that qTSN4 probably increases primarily assimilate resources available at tiller level, followed by compensatory effects on tiller/panicle number, panicle size and structure that are environment and genetic-background dependent.
The qTSN4 effects on panicle spikelet number appear as indirect and induced by upstream effects on pre-floral assimilate resources at tiller level, as they were (1) prone to G x E interactions, (2) non-specific with respect to panicle architectural traits, and (3) associated with pre-floral stem growth rate.
Similarly, if stress-adapted natives are more efficient at assimilating scarce resources, they may drive resources down to levels that are inhospitable for potential invaders.
In addition, biomedical literature has become too massive a resource to be assimilated by individuals (for example, 17.8 million abstracts are listed by PubMed in May 2009, of which 10 million deal with human data).
Therefore, in this study, GRACE terrestrial water storages data are assimilated into the World-Wide Water Resources Assessment (W3RA) hydrological model over the Earth's land areas covering 2002 2012.
Badly situated on the poorest of the populated continents, with a horrible climate and negligible resources, Cameroon could easily be assimilated into Nigeria, or split between Chad and the Central African Republic.
This discourse has been assimilated and thus no longer provides the resources upon which we can construct a critique of contemporary power.
However, without the help of weak ties, defined as achieved resources, they cannot build up their local social resources and thus they struggle to become assimilated culturally and psychologically in the city [73].
Over time, immigrants adapt and are assimilated into the culture of greater health-resource utilization of the host country, which would justify the differences found between children of immigrants born in Spain and those born in their countries of origin.
Because of the urban growth boundary, Volm says, Portland has successfully assimilated a sharply rising population without encroaching on its valuable land resources.
