Although the morphological traits observed on the plant could be used for identification of the accessions, there is a need for molecular characterization of the plant to make its identification more authentic.
Moreover, the inability of SPL15:Splantsplanto to restore most of the WT phenotype as did 35S SPL15m + lines suggested that the enhanced seed carotenoid level and morphological traits observed in the sk156 mutant were the collective result of miR156 suppression of at least some other SPL genes rather than SPL15 alone and that SPL15 functions redundantly with some other SPL gene products.
Significant differences were observed between strains for basidiome number and weight, while no significant differentiation for quantitative morphological traits was observed between geographical origins and taxonomic groups.
Clear geographic patterns in flight-related morphological traits were observed in this species along a latitudinal cline and between landscapes [18].
From his survey of the animal breeding work, he found that domesticated mammals in general exhibit a suite of behavioral, physiological, and morphological traits not observed in their wild forebears.
Significant QTL associated with shoot-P and measures of P-use efficiency (PUE) on chromosome C03 and C07 of B. oleracea have previously been identified, and a significant correlation between these shoot traits and root morphological traits was observed (Hammond et al., 2009).
Reconstructions of ancestral states of twelve morphological characters strongly support five clades revealed by the molecular phylogeny, suggesting these newly observed morphological traits have phylogenetic significance.
Huang et al. observed morphological traits typical of senescence in human fibroblast cells (WI-38), however, they also noted that basal p53 expression levels and target gene activity was normal, or even slightly higher.
Our model can be applied to other molecular traits (e.g., metabolites or protein concentrations), high-dimensional morphological traits (e.g., outlines of surfaces from geometric morphometrics), or gene environment interactions (e.g., the same trait observed in multiple environments).
Significant differences were observed in morphological traits such as tree height, tree diameter, leaf width and leaf area between plants from RS and SM locations, resulting in smaller plants and smaller leaf size in SM plants.
Variation in adult size and the degree of wing melanization followed a classical geographic pattern, whereas flight-related morphological traits were opposite to those observed in other insects and under theoretical predictions on flight endurance under cooler conditions.
