Example: "The unique dialect spoken in this region is often attributed to roots in the ancient languages of the area."
Alternatives: "linked to origins" or "connected to foundations".
On average, the percentage of the root system biomass attributed to taproot, root collar, and lateral roots biomasses was 48.36, 30.79 and 51.64%, respectively; and the percentage of the taproot attributed to root collar was 64.89% (Table 2).
Roots of 36 accessions were assessed using hydroponics and 12 using soil-filled rhizotrons to establish if variation in herbicide score could be attributed to root traits.
These increases are commonly attributed to root growth promotion, accomplished by phytohormones produced by the bacterium, with an emphasis on indole acetic acid, gibberellins and cytokinins (Tien et al. 1979).
The cell damage in the root cortex due to salinity treatments was attributed to root cell collapse.
On average, the percentage of the root system biomass attributed to taproot, root collar, and lateral roots biomasses was 48.36, 30.79 and 51.64%, respectively; and the percentage of the taproot attributed to root collar was 64.89% (Table 2).
SD standard deviation, CV coefficient of variation, % RS TR percentage of the root system biomass attributed to the taproot biomass, %TR RC percentage of the taproot biomass attributed to the root collar biomass, %RS RC percentage of the root system biomass attributed to root collar biomass, %RS LR percentage of the root system biomass attributed to lateral roots biomass.
Several genera of nematodes parasitize soybean [ Glycine max (L). Merrill] worldwide, and the highest economic impact is attributed to root-knot nematodes (RKN), soybean cyst nematodes (SCN), lesion nematodes and reniform nematodes.
Based on root isolations, this yield decline was attributed to root rot caused by Pythium, binucleate Rhizoctonia and Cylindrocarpon spp. Of the 12 bacterial OTUs, 2 were from the genus Bacillus and 2 from the genus Pseudomonas, which were more abundant in non-yield-decline soil samples.
Microconduit infrastructure attributed to former roots suggested increased hydrologic connectivity compared with the otherwise indistinguishable, underlying (root-free) stratum (60 cm bls to approximately 180 cm bls).
The changes in the hydrological pathways were attributed to deep roots and no physical barrier from plough pan in AF and the presence of the plough pan in MC.
