Sentence examples for soil tolerance from inspiring English sources

Most interestingly, we found genes that provide interesting clues to the mechanisms underlying the acid soil tolerance of an Al-tolerant maize line.

"We have the potential to confer significant increases in crop acid soil tolerance," said Kochian.

This is the first study to detect a potential role in acid soil tolerance for this maize protein.

These results suggest that this transcription factor may be involved in the regulation of other genes that contribute to acid soil tolerance in plants.

Special interest has been shown in the cultivation of Jatropha curcas (jatropha, a member of Euphorbiaceae family) for its drought and poor soil tolerance.

Although further work will be needed to assess the individual contribution of each gene to acid soil tolerance, these data give insight into the strategies used by plants in fields where this stress takes place.

The values of soil salt tolerance threshold were 2.24 dS/m at emergence and 4.48 dS/m in the growth period after emergence.

In this study, we evaluated the stability of two tree species of contrasting soil quality tolerance (Prunus serrulata and Ulmus parvifolia) after 3 years growth in two skeletal soil mixes, in a suspended pavement design (uncompacted soil), and in a conventionally prepared soil pit.

This idea seems to be supported by examining the region using the QTL genome viewer (Yonemaru et al. 2010) which shows presence of QTLs for 1000 grain weight, blast disease and soil stress tolerance.

Removal of the soil loss tolerance variable resulted in a reduced model with a higher correlation between the observed and predicted responses (ρ = 0.81) compared to the full model, and a smaller squared deviations statistic of 1.67.

The three factors were: i) the natural drainage class (for an improvement of one order OR = 0.13), ii) the percentage by weight of rock fragments greater than 7.6 25.4 cm in diameter (for each 0.25% increase OR = 1.06), and iii) the soil loss tolerance T-factor (for each 1 tonne increase OR = 0.05) for the soil map unit (Table 2).
