Sentence examples for on germination performance from inspiring English sources

If no detrimental effect of gut retention time on germination performance is a general trait among tropical species, the extirpation of large frugivores with long gut retention time, such as the western lowland gorilla, would likely have negative long-term implications for tropical forests.

Effect of empty plasmid on germination performance.

Using experiments designed to disentangle the respective effects of pulp removal (germination deinhibition) and seed scarification, and gut retention time as an explanatory variable, we investigated the effect of gut passage on germination performances (percentage and latency) of five tropical tree species dispersed by the western lowland gorilla (Gorilla g. gorilla).

One white spruce population from British Columbia, Canada (located at 54°26'N, 121°44'W, 850 m elevation), was selected for this study based on cumulative germination performance after the standard 21-day moist-chilling treatment [ 46].

The gut retention time of the five species averaged 39 56 h and had no effect on intra-specific germination performances except for one species whose germination probability increased as gut retention time increased.

We consider experiments where germination in response to time elapsed is used to characterize germination performance and vigour.

Transgenic lines overexpressing these proteins showed increased PME activity during seed germination, and improved seed germination performance.

Notably, At3g08030 transcript is absent from aged seeds with low germination performance [ 6].

In yellow cedar seeds, PME activity positively correlates with germination performance [ 21].

The increased PME activity could be related to improved germination performance in OEBDX and OE11420 seeds.

The degree of seed scarification in the frugivore gut, partly dependent on gut retention time, is a key component in determining the extent to which gut passage alters germination performances.
