Sentence examples for flowering durations from inspiring English sources

Longer flowering durations in individual plants may reduce the likelihood of phenological mismatch with animal pollinators39,40,41,42,43 and may also compensate or buffer against potentially declining pollinator populations under climate change44,45.

However, in contrast to what we find here, a recent gene regulatory model predicts shorter flowering durations under climate warming in Anemone halleri, a perennial relative of A. thaliana38.

Longer flowering durations of individuals may also alter patterns of assortative mating, with potential consequences for additive genetic variation within the population, depending on whether synchrony among individuals is maintained or increased46,47.

Three species had a split flowering season unlikely to result from a paucity of records, and their flowering durations and midpoints were consequently scored as missing data.

Our results show that the temperature sensitivities of flowering duration to warming and post-fruiting leaf duration to cooling are greater compared with other phenological stages.

Some experiments have found either longer flowering or maintenance of flowering duration under warmer temperatures, depending on the species17,26,27,28, whereas other experiments have found a shorter duration of flowering and other individual reproductive stages under warming6,22,29.

Thus, the responses of flowering duration in this study are probably mediated through similar pathways at the genetic level that determine the switch to allocation to reproduction.

Although we found no significant difference in physiological traits, the Western subspecies has significantly faster growth rate, larger leaf area, less succulent leaves, delayed reproductive time and longer flowering duration.

Many test entries did not show any significant variation as compared to Jalmagna in terms of flowering duration, panicles/m2, plant stature as well as other characters that are considered under distinctness, uniformity and stability (DUS) tests.

Flowering duration was significant as a single effect (F1,105 = 37.4, P<0.001).

We used a mixed linear model (SAS, Procedure MIXED), with transgenic type (crop, F1 hybrid or first-generation backcross) as the fixed treatment effect, phenological traits of weeds (time to first flower, flowering duration and total number of flowers) as covariates, and block and treatment×block interaction as random effects.
