After 20 weeks of treatment, we collected data on morphological indexes of shoot height, root collar diameter, total leaf area and total root area; measured photosynthetic rate (A sat), transpiration rate (E), photosynthetic water-use efficiency (WUE) and apparent chlorophyll concentration (Chl); harvested seedlings and measured biomass allocation of leaf, stem and root.
Fig. 4 Morphological indexes of four species treated by two water treatments.
Morphological indices of trabecular bone were all decreased, demonstrating obvious bone loss.
Our morphological index for each pond was the first principal component.
As before, the morphological index for each of the two ponds was the first principal component.
However, treatments of 5-ALA ameliorated the damaging effect of drought stress on seedlings, and improved the morphological index, biomass, plant water content, root activity, photosynthetic pigments, osmotic adjustments, and antioxidase activities viz.
The RFLP marker-based index was found to be highly correlated to the morphological index (Mao, 2000).
Genome composition of the to-be crossed adults was initially determined based on morphological indices calculated from SVL, TL and CL (for details see [ 20, 35, 36]) and flow cytometry and later (i.e., after the crossing) confirmed by microsatellite analysis on tissue samples.
In addressing the latter, all morphological indices were similar between SHAM, SHAM-CTR, and CTR tibiae (Table 3).
Their proposed system extracts the morphological indexes (lymphocytes).
