Shoots were also measured for shoot length and fresh shoot weight.
With wheat and rice and soybean that's now approaching 60percentt of the shoot weight.
The type of substrate did not cause significant differences in plant survival and dry shoot weight.
All plants were harvested and their dry shoot weight was measured in December 2014.
SLA at different observation dates before anthesis was negatively correlated with shoot weight at anthesis.
Vegetation dynamics were evaluated by quantifying herbaceous (canopy and basal cover, density, production, reproductive shoot weight) and shrub (canopy cover, density) response variables.
Root length, root weight, shoot weight, plant height, panicle weight, grain weight, grain yield, total biomass, and biological yield were significantly affected by treatments.
The effect on shoot weight was subtle (~11% increase) and only felt at the highest concentration tested (Fig. 5b, lower panel), most likely because this parameter is less affected by cycloheximide than elongation of the PR (Supplementary Fig. S2b).
Similar results were observed when fresh shoot weight was measured (Fig. 7b, lower panel), with tolerance to the cations being enhanced 11 45%, although in the Cu2+ treatments only TPO1L1 showed to be more resistant than the wild type.
Both the PDR5L1 and PDR5L5 transgenic lines were tested at two different concentrations of cycloheximide, exhibiting a longer PR (~27% increase) and higher fresh shoot weight than wild-type plants (Fig. 5).
Analysis of variance showed that drought stress decreased plant height, flower yield, shoot weight and apigenin content but it had no significant effect on oil content or oil composition.
