Sentence examples for sensitivity of plant from inspiring English sources

Moreover, stomatal conductance differs with the sensitivity of plant species and strains to climate changes (Hofstra and Hesketh 1969).

The sensitivity of plant cell culture to fluid forces, or fluid-mechanical sensitivity, in a stirred bioreactor is evaluated by shearing the cells in viscometers for short duration under a range of laminar and turbulent conditions.

Other factors such as 5'-untranslated leader structures, upstream AUG codons, and sensitivity of plant ribosomes to secondary structure [ 35, 39], play an important role in translation efficiency as well.

Halothane and ethylene, anesthetics which work as such on animals, destabilize MTs in growing plant cells although, unfortunately, little is known of any putative phytoneurological effects of anesthetics save their ability to alter the sensitivity of plant cells to cold stress, an effect probably mediated by MTs.

In comparison, Thuiller et al. [ 60] applies a DGVM to examine the potential impacts of climate change on vegetation structure and ecosystem functioning, whereas statistical niche-based models (NBMs) are used to assess the sensitivity of plant species to climate change.

It's all about ethnobotany, plant-human coevolution, the sensitivity of plants as barometers of a natural environment, medicinal uses and the healing powers of plants.

Nutrient imbalances can increase the sensitivity of plants to climatic extremes and to biotic pests [4, 6, 17, 22].

This parameter is thus useful for assaying the cold tolerance and sensitivity of plants that differ for this trait due either to genetics or acclimation.

Our results suggest that the sensitivity of plants to UV-B radiation is not only associated with the ambient UV-B level in natural habitats but also with the relative growth rate and other factors.

A recent finding of a novel protein family mediating Casparian band formation in the endodermis of Arabidopsis root (Roppolo et al. [2011]) has shed a new light on the study of the Casparian band development, which might also be relevant to salt sensitivity of plants.

It has also not been conclusively shown whether qualitative differences in screening compounds or differences in localization patterns influence the sensitivity of plants to damage from UV-B radiation and there is some question as to whether differences in the amounts of soluble screening compounds correlate with physiological sensitivity to UV-B radiation.
