Sentence examples for leaf source from inspiring English sources

Additionally, differences in stomatal density, water use efficiency, and carbon assimilation may contribute to a greater mature leaf source strength in Wray compared with Macia.

Finally, based on RNA expression levels, SbSUTs are unlikely to contribute to sugar accumulation differences between Wray and Macia stems, but SbSUT2 and SbSUT4 could play roles in Wray's increased leaf source strength.

Overall, our results indicate that Wray exhibited higher leaf photosynthetic performance after anthesis compared to Macia, and this difference in leaf source strength could play a role in the observed increase in biomass accumulation, stem juice volume, and Brix percentage exhibited by Wray.

Three days later- giving the plants time to assimilate the labeled nitrogen- the oldest sink leaf, youngest source leaf and transition leaf, were wounded (W) with a pattern wheel and the puncture wounds immediately treated with 10 μL 1 5 diluted Manduca sexta oral secretion (OS) (W + OS) over 3 consecutive days in order to simulate continuous herbivore feeding damage.

The "source leaf" was selected on the following criteria: leaf that attained its maximal expansion (leaf area), with a high chlorophyll content and having the same position in the canopy in both genotypes.

It has been estimated that as much as 50 to 80%% of the C assimilated from CO2 through photosynthesis in a mature "source" leaf is exported out of the leaf to satisfy the demand of the non-photosynthetic "sink" tissues of the plant [ 4].
