The benefit of doing so is that the tree bypasses the risky tender stage as a juvenile seedling and it will flower sooner.
Juvenile trees (seedlings and saplings of N. pumilio and N. betuloides less than 0.5 m height) were also included as understory components.
The juvenile potted seedlings were then transplanted and grown under field conditions.
These fungi were present in roots of seedlings, juveniles and mature plants, especially terrestrials.
Collectively, less than half (40%) of the roots of terrestrial orchids spanning all three growth stages (seedlings, juveniles, mature plants) yielded Rhizoctonia-like fungi, and 20% for the epiphytes (Table 2).
Multifactor ANOVAs were used (1) to test for differences in germination against the factors of within-site position of soil cores and the number of years extinct; (2) to compare survivorship of seedlings, juveniles and adults; and (3) to compare λ against population longevity.
The strong evidence that positive density-dependent mortality occurs in seeds, seedlings, juvenile and adult plants in several different species suggests that seed dispersal is a key process in plant communities [1], [2].
Seedlings, juvenile and adult phases of O. flocktoniae were the most robust stages in the life cycle of this species.
More than 49,000 EST sequences were generated from nine tall fescue cDNA libraries constructed from tissues representing various tissue types (leaves, roots, stems, and floral meristems), growth stages (young seedlings, juvenile vegetative stage, and early reproductive stages), and abiotic stress factors (drought, heat, and multi-factor field stress) (Table 1).
Patterns of spatial distribution of seedlings and juveniles did not differ between vegetation types.
