The U.S.D.A. statement continued: Based on the videotape, in at least four instances, plant employees are observed excessively prodding cattle with an electric device, pulling their tails, or forcibly attempting to make cattle rise from a recumbent position.
No program tested found all of the motif instances planted in the sequences (i.e., all methods had poor site-level accuracy); motif-level accuracy is likely better but was not reported.
In some instances plant-based 'traditional' medicines were believed to be more effective than pharmaceutical preparations; for example, some people considered 'Koso' to be a superior treatment, particularly in people.
For instance, plants with large white petals, like the moonflower Ipomoea alba, are well adapted to attract moths for pollination, Ms. Sifton said.
For instance, plants and their derivatives have been used to prepare a wide variety of nanostructures with interesting morphologies.
For instance, "plants that like their pollinators to be pretty loyal" could see declines in reproduction, says ecologist Laura Burkle of Montana State University, Bozeman.
For instance, plants that were not treated with insecticide had increases in the frequencies of genotypes associated with higher levels of toxic chemicals in the fruits, which made them unpalatable to seed predator moths.
The latter refers to experiments where for instance plants from a dry and from a wet meadow are planted both to dry and wet experimental environments.
For instance, plants host multiple symbiotic microbes, including mycorrhizal fungi, endophytic fungi and bacteria that may affect the performance of herbivores through symbiont-produced toxins which accumulate in herbivore tissue and thereby directly harm predators following ingestion of the prey.
For instance, plants grown for the Abiotic Stress series were grown under a day-night light cycle (16h light), imposing in some cases a diurnal pattern of gene expression response on top of any stress response.
