Similarly, Singh and Agrawal (2007) reported significant decrease in root lengths of Beta vulgaris plants at 20 and 40% (w/w) sewage sludge amendments (SSA), whereas shoot lengths were decreased significantly at 40% SSA due to heavy metal stress.
However, where the response to N was positive, weedy rice accumulated 42 g shoot biomass g−1 of added N whereas shoot biomass accumulation for Drew was 33 g g−1 of added N. Overall, weedy rice accumulated more biomass than rice upon addition of N fertilizer.
Among the treatments that received vermicompost alone, the maximum increase (46.8 %) in shoot dry weights was observed in T2 whereas shoot dry weight in T1 was lower (−23.4 %) compared to control and only 6%% increase over the control was observed in T3.
Roots of transgenic plants showed a maximum of 19 times higher GST activity at 100 µM Cd as compared to wild type plants, whereas shoots showed a maximum of 27 times more GST activity compared to wild type plants at 100 µM Cd concentration.
Tartary buckwheat accumulated higher concentrations of Al in the shoots than common buckwheat in the 10 μM Al treatment, whereas shoot Al concentrations were similar between the two species in the higher Al treatments (20 and 50 μM).
The effective concentrations to promote root growth are low whereas shoot growth is favoured by relatively high concentrations (Skoog and Miller 1957; Cary et al. 1995; Werner et al. 2001, 2003, 2010).
At all of the NAA/Kin combinations tested except the highest, there were significantly more roots produced by the transgenic line expressing Spcdc25 compared to WT whereas shoot production was significantly higher only at the two lower auxin concentrations.
For I can be certain that if I shoot them, the hostages will be dead, whereas the probability that shooting them will bring about the classless society is very low.
"Whereas their father shot and clawed his way to the top, they knew nothing except the vicious dictatorship he had created, which meant they were even more ruthless than their father".
Or joblessness: it stood at 10% on both sides of the Atlantic in 2009, but it has now fallen below 8% in America whereas it has shot above 12% in the euro zone.
