Sentences with phrase «plant architecture»

The gene can improve plant architecture without altering grain quality or growth periods.

At the Danforth Center, Eveland's research focuses on the developmental mechanisms that control plant architecture traits in cereal crops.

Although they did not see the same increase in yield, they did observe similar changes in plant architecture because of florigen dosage sensitivities.

We look at how those polymers are synthesized and assembled into complex polymer matrices, and how they contribute to factors such as plant architecture, resistance to pathogens and limiting drought stress.

«This is because,» Lippman explains, «bushy tomato varieties are highly sensitive to the amount, or dosage, of the florigen hormone, which alters plant architecture — that is, how many flowers can form before growth ends.

He is using genomics strategies to incorporate yield enhancing traits and genes for improving indica rice plant architecture to enhance yield potential.

High - Resolution Laser Scanning Reveals Plant Architectures that Reflect Universal Network Design Principles

Both aSMR designs share fundamental features, such as high energy neutrons, liquid sodium cooling and metallic fuel, which provide inherent safety performance and more economically competitive plant architecture compared to traditional water - cooled reactors.

We have discovered several genes that control plant architecture by exerting an influence on stem cells.

The Seehof Palace Park extends in 21 ha, adorned with sculptures and rich plant architecture.

Plants have been an important element of human art, with elements of plant architecture appearing as ornamentation for ceramics and other decoration in Neolithic and Bronze ages in China, Crete, Southern Africa, British Isles, Egypt, and in the Mayan civilizations.

Their findings could help researchers engineer better cotton fibers, improve plant defense against insects, alter plant architecture and toughen root response to drought.

In addition to higher yield, the introgression strengthened the panicle and plant architecture, which means the panicles of the new lines could now support higher grain numbers without lodging or falling over.

«One way these plants can be more efficient in their use of resources is clearly going to be changing the plant architecture of maize.

In two of these regions, the differences were attributable to alternative alleles of just one gene: teosinte glume architecture (tga1) and teosinte branched (tb1), which affect kernel structure and plant architecture.

They report that alleles of these genes typical of modern corn were already present more than 4000 years ago, implying that plant architecture and kernel nutritive properties were selected early, long before corn reached North America.

Professor and Director of Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology Laboratory Joanne Chory, who along with being Howard H. and Maryam R. Newman Chair in Plant Biology is also a Howard Hughes Medical Investigator and one of the paper's coauthors, adds: «This paper highlights a new principle guiding growth and adaptation of plant architectures, and it raises new questions about the molecular mechanisms driving pattern formation, which we will continue to explore.»
