Sentence examples for seedling mass from inspiring English sources

Experimental treatments of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) inoculation and drought modified the root system architecture of Pistacia lentiscus L. AM inoculation did not influence total seedling mass, but inoculated root systems had shorter internodes and were less branched than non-mycorrhizal systems.

In each of these pots 6 Bambusa seeds were planted and seedling mass was measured 14 days later.

Untransformed seedling mass was tested with a single ANOVA using "treatment" and "pot" as fixed factors and to differentiate among specific treatments a post-ANOVA Tukey test was conducted (significance limit at P<0.01; SPSS 15.0 [43].

Samples were dried, dry masses recorded (Norgrove et al. unpublished) and tree seedling mass (kg ha−1) calculated.

After 24 h, each seedling was inspected and quantified (by visual estimate) for the amount of aboveground seedling mass consumed, and damaged, by each rat.

These are processes that are occurring primarily in cotyledons and the hypocotyl leading to leaf growth, since true leaves do not make up a substantial proportion of seedling mass until about day 8 [ 39].

Seedling traits differed significantly among populations, seedlings from Thailand had the greatest total seedling biomass, leaf mass and stem mass, but seedlings from Mali showed a faster ontogeny.

Seedling recruitment in A. attenuata is disturbance dependent, with fire strongly associated with mass seedling recruitment.

Controlled pollination experiments and germination tests showed that progenies from cross-pollination treatments showed significantly higher fitness (seed set, seed mass, seedling emergence) than progenies from self-pollination, which resulted in high levels of inbreeding depression in R. pseudoacacia.

Despite no relationship between seedling survival and seed mass being found, it seems that the rule larger seeds = highest germination rate does hold for N. glauca.

It should be noted that the apparent effect of seed mass on seedling biomass at 4 weeks (Table  3) can be explained in part by the tendency for heavier seeds (in particular, the seeds from the PM population) to germinate faster, so that these seedlings experienced a longer period of growth before being harvested and weighed.
