Intake of DM (P = 0.05) and ADF (P = 0.01) was increased for TR, and digestibility of ADF was increased for TD and TR compared with C during wk 5. Results suggest that feeding supplemental plant extracts did not affect milk yield, but did affect milk components and improved ADF digestibility.
Differences in achene output and quality in control and supplemental pollination plants among populations were analyzed using factorial ANCOVA's and plant size (mm) as covariate.
In contrast, expression of the E-class organ identity gene, SEPALLATA 4 [ 28], and the petal identity gene PETALLOSS [ 29] was downregulated in response to drought stress in both wild-type and rdr6 mutants; however, their expression was significantly lower in rdr6 mutants relative to wild-type plants (Supplemental Table 3).
In Ojai, Ms. Hébert finds that a drip system takes away the midweek worry that would occur during a heat wave when a few days over a hundred degrees could kill many plants without supplemental water.
Resource limitation was assessed by testing the effects of habitat on fruit and seed production using only supplemental racemes on experimental plants.
For each supplemental raceme on experimental plants, all of the flowers were hand-pollinated daily for each population, with the exception of 2 3 rainy days.
During the growth period plants received supplemental lighting from 400 Osram (Osram, München, Germany) lamps on a 16 hr light/8 hr dark photoperiod.
It is noteworthy that the non-mutant NRPD1-FLAG transgene did not fully rescue delayed flowering time in the nrpd1a-3 mutant background to that of wild-type plants (see Supplemental data), nor did the transgene fully rescue siRNA levels (see Figure 2B).
Study plants receiving supplemental pollen matured capsules 87%% (SE = 0.87) of the time, while only 46%% (SE = 0.057) of open-pollinated plants fully developed fruit (Fig. 1).
Based on this idea, the Draw-A-Scientist (DAST-C) instrument (Chambers, 1983; Finson, 2003) was adapted to plants (see Supplemental Material).
