Sentence examples for between shoot and root from inspiring English sources
There was a slight tendency to over estimate root biomass before the start of stem extension and the rate of root loss after anthesis, suggesting that the partitioning coefficient for dry matter between shoot and root system overwinter and the rate of root mortality and the root decay constant after anthesis may require some adjustment.
Even though the lengths of Cufflinks transcripts were not completely identical between shoot and root, at least 55 differentially expressed transcripts were common to the two tissues.
The study further indicated a lack of conservation in response to light between shoot and root tissue, thus highlighting the significance of tissue level variation that exist in inter- and intra-species comparisons [ 8].
Distinct expression patterns between shoot and root have been previously noted for SULTR2 1 in the context of sulfate deficiency [ 13, 23] and further extended in the present study to Pi deficiency.
However, for genes overexpressed in shoots, there was a negligible difference between shoot and root methylation, whereas for genes overexpressed in roots, on average, the "shoot" genes were 21% more methylated than the "root" genes (P value = 0.003).
We investigated 1000 genes from the two tails of the log(shoots/roots) expression distribution (see Materials and Methods section) and compared the differences between shoot and root body methylation levels for the two gene groups.
We then asked if the observed preferential distribution of N derived from uptake of glutamine was specific for this particular N source or if N derived from other amino acids would show similar patterns of distribution between shoot and roots.
The metabolically related traits were dependent on S supply and plant organs, which evolve an inverse trend between shoots and roots.
A group of genes related to the internal translocation of P including phosphate translocators, glucose-6-phosphate/phosphate translocators (GPT2), ABC transporters, sugar transporters, and antiporters responded to P deficiency, and the response differed between shoots and roots.
In rice, aerenchyma is well developed in roots, internodes, sheaths, and the mid-rib of leaves (Colmer and Pedersen 2008a; Matsukura et al. 2000; Steffens et al. 2011) and contributes to the effective internal aeration between shoots and roots (Colmer 2003a; Colmer and Pedersen 2008a).
