The aims of this study were to evaluate the effect of organic fertilization on carbon dioxide (CO2) fixation, carbon (C) partitioning and growth of potted nectarine trees (Prunus persica L. Batsch), cv.
The peak of cover values in D. vexillum occurs 1 2 months before the peak in MI, which suggests that this species has some degree of resource partitioning between growth and reproduction.
The absence of HS is thought to stimulate a compensatory overproduction of other matrix components through altered partitioning of growth-regulatory factors between matrix bound proteoglycans and cells [ 10].
The total amount of energy ingested by a fish is partitioned towards growth (somatic and reproductive), metabolism (standard, feeding and active), and excretion (which remains constant) (Brett and Groves 1979; Calow 1985).
Growth partitioning was assessed on basal area growth, using both the growth dominance index, and the within-stand size-growth relationship.
Microarray technology has been widely used for genome-wide expression profiling of thousands of genes that help bovine researchers to monitor genetic mechanisms regulating a variety of preferred traits involving disease resistance, nutrient partitioning, mammary development, muscle growth and stress tolerance.
Since growth partitioning primarily depends on the partitioning of environmental resources among individuals, climatic change further calls for extending this framework to explicit climatic factors.
However, the finding that water limitation can change (increase) intercept and slope (decrease) reveals the tendency to more symmetric resource and growth partitioning under drought and the partitioning in favour of small trees in especially in case of Norway spruce.
The somatotrophic axis (GH/IGF-1) is well established as central to nutrient partitioning, post-natal growth and development in mammals [ 1].
Because of the far-reaching consequences of this water-dependent growth partitioning and population dynamics, future studies should further explore the relationship between water supply and inter-individual growth partitioning on a broader data base.
