Delay in sowing led to more rapid developmental of canola, decreased aboveground dry matter, leaf area index (LAI), harvest index (HI), WUE, and seed yield.
The early flowering phenotype was not due to an accelerated leaf initiation rate (Figure S1) but resulted from a more rapid developmental transition of the shoot apical meristem (SAM) from the vegetative to the reproductive phase as characterized by a lower number of rosette and cauline leaves at the onset of flowering (Figure 1C).
To account for more rapid development at increased temperature, seedlings were scored at eight days after germination (27°C), ten days (22°C) and fourteen days (17°C), when the developmental stages were equivalent.
"[Domestically] Jang is seen as a savvy, modern official, an advocate of a relatively more rapid and openly developmental North Korea.
MWVd was more rapid than MWVs at all developmental time points.
As ponds in this region become increasingly ephemeral [ 28], resident amphibians may be forced to adopt ever more rapid and potentially less fecund developmental profiles.
In contrast, do larger developmental differences arise from more rapid and almost saltationary changes corresponding to the infrequent, but nonetheless observed, acquisition or loss of a highly connected or hub proteins in the network?
While the "Molecular FACS-EST" showed the same sensitivity as the validated EST, the test duration was reduced and the test allowed for a more rapid and reproducible screening and for predicting developmental toxicity in vivo on the basis of in vitro data.
In this case, B12-3 A2I3A2I3 could be hypomorphic alleles capable of providing sufficient gene function for developmental growth but not for more rapid compensatory growth.
Due to these improvements, this new molecular method holds promise as a sensitive, more rapid and reproducible screen highly suited to predict developmental toxicity in vivo from in vitro data (Buesen et al. 2009).
Thus, using the zebrafish with its rapid developmental period as a laboratory specimen may accelerate genetic screening for more specific KCNQ channel mutants, and perhaps foster drug discovery strategies for chemotherapeutic intervention in diseases associated with mutations in the Kv (x) family of genes, e.g., conditions manifested in humans such as hearing loss, and tinnitus.
