Sentence examples for mass maturity from inspiring English sources

Seed filling is terminated at mass maturity (Ellis and Pieta Filho, 1992), with maturation drying thereafter.

In a recent study on Trifolium ambiguum, seed-to-seed variability in final dry weight and mass maturity was considerable (Hay et al., 2010).

Based on data from Kameswara Rao and Jackson (1996 a, b ), we can assume that these seeds (like those of the main study) had reached mass maturity and were therefore in the desiccation phase of seed development.

(2012) further suggested, based on proteomic studies, that the desiccation phase from the end of seed-filling (mass maturity) onwards should be divided into two, the first when there is increasing seed longevity and then a final, maturation drying stage.

In many species, the ability of seeds to withstand desiccation to the low moisture levels required for storage occurs around mass maturity (end of seed-filling stage), but desiccation tolerance in rice is acquired earlier (Ellis and Hong, 1994).

We suggest that rice seeds do not strictly follow a sequence of development with respect to time (DAA) once they have reached mass maturity; rather, due to the high humidity of the growing environment at IRRI, the rice seeds stay in a pre-desiccation state in which increases in longevity are limited.

Conclusions Seeds harvested at a moisture content where, according to the moisture desorption isotherm, they could still be metabolically active (>16·2 %) may be in the first stage of the post-mass maturity, desiccation phase of seed development and thus able to increase longevity in response to hot-air drying.

T fish reared in mesocosms had larger mass at maturity than mesocosm- or nature-reared NT fish, indicating GH transgenesis can alter maximum obtainable mass in salmon.

Creatinine is influenced by age, muscle mass, and maturity, as well as maternal creatinine in the first 72 hours of life, after which it slowly increases [45].

The correlation is supported in the case of longevity (PP = 0.01; table 1) and remains so in partial correlation (i.e., controlling for d S, body mass and maturity; PP = 0.01; table 1).

The first of his three choral-orchestral masses, the Mass in D Minor (1864), crowns this period of rigorous, self-imposed training and slow growth to maturity.
