Casas et al. (2006) have discussed that this pattern is a consequence of continual replacement of plant materials in managed in situ populations and home gardens, including the introduction of plant material from other areas to home gardens, as well as the high gene flow between populations determined by bats and birds participating in pollination and seed dispersal.
The chloroplast-localized ribulose-1, 5-biphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco), the primary enzyme responsible for autotrophy, is instrumental in the continual adaptation of plants to variations in the concentrations of CO2.
The obtained data suggest that the cultivation of plants in a life support system on soil-like substrate from composts has a number of advantages over the cultivation on neutral substrates, which require continual replenishment of the plant nutrient solution from the system's store to complement the macro- and micro-elements.
Fungus gardens receive continual inputs of fresh plant material, while garden waste serves as the principal inocula for the dumps.
The erosion of soil has largely occurred due to the loss of structure by continual disturbance for crop planting and harvesting.
The continual cycling of power plants up and down to meet demand from elsewhere in the country causes generating and transmission parts to heat up and cool down repeatedly.
This continual activity, due to the plants' continual responsiveness to their environments, masks another, more basic aspect of phytoelectrical activity inherent to the structure of plants.
These findings make it plausible to hypothesize that RbcL subunit may have undergone "continual fine-tuning" in green plants to adapt to CO2 concentration changes across geological epochs [ 18].
"You want to make several harvests over the season, and that continual cutting back will keep the plant low and bushy".
The central supervisor acquires, analyses, interprets and stores the data sent by the on-site bioreactor control systems in a relational database, allowing remote specification of plant operating setpoints and continual development of the system.
