Sentence examples for root morphological from inspiring English sources

Diversifying root morphological traits associated with resource acquisition could also have a positive impact.

Further simulation work investigated the sensitivity of root length and relative distribution in the soil profile to changes in specific root morphological traits.

Root morphological parameters were determined namely root length density (RLD), mean root diameter (MRD), root surface area (RSA) and root dry matter (RDM).

We attempted to relate 16 root morphological parameters with mycorrhizal responsiveness and mycorrhizal parameters in 13 species frequently co-occurring in European sand dune ecosystems.

The shoot and root morphological traits of five woody species introduced to degraded cropland were assessed with a particular focus on the survival, early establishment and growth of saplings subjected to manuring (1 kg per plant) and drip irrigation (0.5 L of water per plant per day).

Leaf and root morphological and physiological traits including; midday relative water content, midday leaf (xylem) water potential, shoot dry weight and growth, total leaf area, leaf size, total leaf dry weight, specific leaf area, leaf greenness (SPAD), stomatal size and density, root and leaf nitrogen content and chlorophyll fluorescence were measured throughout the study.

Species ranking across all shade × fertilizer combinations remained conserved for LDMC, gs, plant height, root-morphological traits (RLD, SRL and RD) and plant biomass (Fig.  4).

Root-morphological changes, i.e. a decreased RD and increased SRL, have been described in response to phosphorus deficiency, but less concordant effects have been observed for nitrogen deficiency (Hill et al. 2006).

The results showed that benzoic acid caused permanent morphological reductions in root hair density by observation of root morphology using stereomicroscope 4. The adverse effect of autotoxins on root development increased as the concentration of benzoic acid increased (Additional file 14).

In this study, we measured phenotypic variation and effect of phosphorus deficiency on root architectural, morphological and anatomical traits in 15 rice (Oryza sativa) genotypes.

This indicates that root hair morphological changes induced by M. loti in nup133 occur independently of changes in transcript levels or that these were below the detection level at 1 dpi.
