Sentence examples for host seedling from inspiring English sources

Four μl of the resulting mixture were pipetted directly onto the apical shoot meristem on each host seedling according to the methods of Hood et al. [ 55].

Our findings show that host plant characteristics such as age, light-dependent pathogenicity and virulence of an endophyte-pathogen (i.e., D. mutila) are intrinsically connected, influencing patterns of host seedling survival, potentially driving small-scale host species distribution patterns as well as its abundance at larger scales.

In particular, periodic host absence in agricultural landscapes forces plant pathogens to survive on volunteer plants (wild relatives, alternative hosts, seedlings) or to have specific life-history strategies (saprophyte, free-living stages) that may lead to drastic reductions in pathogen population size [see Suffert et al. (2011) for an example on Septoria tritici blotch].

This has been intensely studied during the last three decades in the framework of the Janzen-Connell model [2] [4], which states that host-specific seed predators, or seedling herbivores and pathogens may have a disproportionately large negative effect on progeny close to maternal trees.

As adults, dwarf mistletoes (Arceuthobium, Viscaceae) fix only about 30% of the carbon needed for growth [ 34, 35] but prior to host attachment seedlings actively photosynthesize.

If, for example, seedling establishment is averted on a host species, it will be a poor host regardless of whether trees offer suitable growing conditions to later life stages (Went 1940; Dressler 1981).

Benefits for the host related to abiotic stress tolerance are obtained through enhanced growth, increased seedling vigour and persistence, particularly under water stress and nutrient deficiency [ 15, 16].

As plants homozygous for both mutations are seedling lethal (Aida et al., 1997), cuc1/cuc1 cuc2/ + plants had to be used as host line for the transgene.

Gradients in moisture and pathogens could interactively regulate seedling recruitment in fragmented forests33, although one recent study found that composition of plant hosts structures fungal communities more than changes in soil moisture27.

The basic unit of the game is the seedling.

They've sequenced most of the mushroom's genome, replanted cuttings from host trees, inoculated seedlings with cultures, and experimented with fertilizers.
