Sentence examples for greater root length from inspiring English sources

These species-specific responses were consistent with earlier observations of root development in which P. serrulata grew up to 60 times greater root length in gravel-based skeletal soil whereas U. parvifolia root growth was similar in all soil treatments.

Root growth was significantly enhanced at 50% irrigation compared with 100% irrigation, through greater root length, diameter, surface area, and depth, suggesting greater access to water during mid- and late-season periods.

Canola had 28% greater root length and 110% more root tips in the top 10 cm soil and 101% larger root surface area in the 40 cm soil under high-water than under low-water conditions.

Cluster III (included Cooper, SLM046, Lilian, Billy and Karun) had greater root length, cotyledon length and width, and root-to-shoot length with high mean time to germination whereas decreasing soil moisture resulted in severe reductions of final emergence and germination rate compared with those observed for 80%and50%0% FC.

At Year 3, the excavated alder had a significantly greater root length than the other species (P = 0.006) but was not significantly different from cypress (Fig. 7).

In contrast, atsrp2 and atsrp3 plants exhibited greater root length, leaf number and overall size than wild-type plants when exposed to MMS.

The half strength MS medium with 0.5 mg·L−1 IAA produced maximum number of roots (16.5) with the greatest root length (13.2 cm)).

At P1, canola and potato showed 58 and 49%% greater total root length than barley, respectively; canola had 18 % greater root surface area than potato, and potato had 57 % greater root surface area than barley, but the average number of root tips decreased in the order potato (1892) > barley (883) > canola (627).

At 4 DAS, hsfc1b plants grown on MS medium containing 100 mM mannitol exhibited significantly greater reduced shoot and root lengths, and at 7 DAS a significantly greater reduced root length as compared with the stressed wild type was observed, suggesting a role of OsHsfC1b in the response to osmotic stress (Fig.  4D).

The limited data from this study also support results from earlier studies that willow and poplar growth is strongly influenced by stem diameter with larger materials generally producing taller trees, with more roots (greater root number, root length, and root biomass).

In general terms, this mirrors what was observed in the current trial with the larger diameter poles having greater total root length and biomass compared with smaller diameter planting types, and willows performing better across a range of metrics than poplars.
