At 30 days after transplanting, leaf-chlorophyll contents (CC) were determined according to Kaschuk et al. (2010), based on the "Soil Plant Analysis Development SPADAD) index, with readings taken from the lowermost third of the +3 leaf (Trani et al. 1983).
At 30 d after transplanting (DAT), leaf sheaths were inoculated with immature sclerotia of the pathogen.
In the 5th week after transplanting the leaf material (youngest expanded leaves) was harvested per plant.
Both inorganic fertilizer solutions (In-fert-1 and In-fert-2) had a higher positive effect on tomato transplant growth and leaf chlorophyll content than was observed in the compost tea treatments (CT-1 and CT-2) and control (water), indicating that a relatively higher nitrogen (N) concentrations may be preferred by the tomato transplants for growth and chlorophyll formation.
Continuous transcriptome profiling of leaf from transplanting until harvesting stage uncovered two major drastic changes in the leaf transcriptional program (Sato et al. 2011).
Plantlets at the third-fourth true leaf were transplanted on May 12 , 2003
Continuous transcriptome profiling of leaf from transplanting until harvesting further elucidated the growth-stage specificity of gene expression and uncovered two major drastic changes in the leaf transcriptional program.
We applied this model to the number of leaf nodes after transplant, the number of perfect and staminate flowers, the total number of flowers, the total number of fruits, the number of fruits per perfect flower and the mean level of herbivory.
When seedlings reached 3rd 4th true leaf stage, were transplanted to the plots, over 0.70 m ridges and 0.30 m planting distance, in double row plantation.
Sowing and raising seedlings were conducted in a 96-well polymerase chain reaction (PCR) plate with a hole (Φ = 2.5 mm) at the bottom; one seed was placed in each well with the embryo pointing upward, and seedlings at the 3 ~ 4 leaf stage were transplanted to a paddy field.
