Sentence examples for main stem elongation from inspiring English sources

Leafy spurge plants treated with sub-lethal concentrations of foliar-applied glyphosate produce new vegetative shoots with reduced main stem elongation and increased branching.

Collectively, these two hypotheses provide insights into potential mechanisms resulting in glyphosate-induced phenotypes that have reduced main stem elongation and increased branching due to axillary bud outgrowth (Fig.  1).

Sub-lethal concentrations of foliar applied glyphosate also results in new shoot growth from UABs that produce a phenotype with reduced main stem elongation and increased branching from axillary bud outgrowth [ 28].

Previous studies have shown that exogenous application of auxin represses stem elongation of shoots derived from crown buds of leafy spurge [ 57, 61], which may have some bearing on the reduced main stem elongation and increased branching in response to glyphosate (Fig.  1).

In this study, reduced main stem elongation and increased branching was observed in four subsequent generations derived from UABs present in the same root system of treated plants (Fig.  1, and Additional file 1), and the effects of glyphosate on phenotype did not diminish in these generations.

It has long been known that fibre differentiation or stem elongation is controlled by growth factors such as auxin, GA and brassinosteroids, and that overproduction of auxin decreases primary stem elongation in Arabidopsis [ 46].

Prolonged exposure to cold temperature (vernalization) in the range 6°C to 12°C induces reproductive growth, leading to bolting (rapid elongation of the main stem) and flowering.

A key aspect of the adaptation of landraces was the small size of the main shoot panicle, as it minimised (1) the loss of productive tillers during stem elongation; (2) the delay in anthesis if mid-season drought occurs; and (3) the reduction in panicle productivity of the basal tillers under stress.

The main inhibitory features of drought stress were observed on cell proliferation and expansion, leaf size, stem elongation, root proliferation alongside with crop growth and biomass accumulation (Harrison et al. 2014; Sekmen et al. 2014; Shanker et al. 2014; Zdravkovic et al. 2013).

The main stem and root merge into a tuberous structure.

Shoots may also try to grow along the main stem.
